The national average diesel price remains about 19 cents higher than it was one year ago, according to fuel market data.
Lower oil prices, improving fuel supplies, and refinery production helped push fuel prices down in recent weeks.
Even with the recent drop, fuel continues to be one of the biggest expenses for trucking companies and owner-operators.
Industry analysts say fuel prices could still change quickly depending on oil markets, refinery activity, and global supply issues.
Many carriers continue watching diesel prices closely because fuel costs directly affect profits, freight rates, and operating expenses.
Some regions of the country are still seeing much higher fuel prices than others, especially on the West Coast.
