<p>Assuming that "end of the road" means going out of business because of high fuel cost, I don't see that result.  In fact the premise strikes me as a failure to understand economics.  I don't doubt that rising fuel costs introduces complications and instability to the trucking business, but in the end, won't they just pass the cost increase along to the consumer?  The fuel price increase falls on all trucking uniformly, so it does not create a competitive disparity between trucking companies.  And we all need what trucks do unless we can substitute a lower cost form of what they do.  At the very margin, we may be able to substitute railroads, but I doubt railroads could take over very much of what trucks do.</p><p>When fuel rises, my trash hauler raises my rate and explains that it is due to increased cost of fuel.  They don't say anything about quitting the trash hauling business.     </p>
