Delbert Crawford is one of millions of truckers in Texas feeling the pain of surging diesel prices at the pump, a symptom of petrol inflation that’s rising across the country.
PUBLISHED 1:56 PM CDT Jun. 23, 2022PFLUGERVILLE, Texas — , a CDL driving school in Pflugerville.“It’s not all about money for me. It’s about changing people’s lives, that’s the name of the business. When you’re on the highway the only reason why you change lanes is to get around an object in your way to get to your destination. So, here at Changing Lanes we help ordinary individuals ready to change lanes in life into the trucking industry.
Crawford prides himself on having the most cost-efficient school in the area in order to help ordinary people get into the driver’s seat. But now with the cost of diesel fuel constantly on the rise, Crawford says tuition fees at Changing Lanes will increase for the first time since opening the school.“Changing Lanes has the lower cost in the Austin area at $3,950, that includes everything. I’ll be raising my prices to $4,200," said Crawford.
The cost of diesel fuel, used by farmers and truckers to supply the country with products, has increased 75% over the past year. The national average price peaked at $5.72 a gallon this month, according the U.S. Energy Information Administration, calling the surge one of the sharpest fuel cost increases on record.Crawford says the new cost of enrollment at Changing Lanes CDL driving school will go into effect this July.
