February 09, 2023Uber Freight announces Q4 Earnings and Diesel benchmark drops for the first time in 2 weeks
John Kingston - Editor at Large - FreightWaves
Topic: Uber Freight announces Q4 Earnings.
We’ve seen a lot of companies announce earnings that were even or better - even in tougher times. Uber Freight did not fare as well.

John you’ve seen a number of these earnings reports come in - what’s your general sense of how the freight industry is handling these tougher economic times.

Is there a difference between those that are doing better and those that have not fared as well.
Topic: Diesel benchmark drops for the first time in 2 weeks
Diesel marked at $4.54 on 2/6. This is the first mark we’ve seen with the Russian Oil Price cap in place - it doesn’t seem to have done much at least initially.

What are your impressions of this long term - will the Russian price cap have any effect?

We saw a jump in diesel prices coming off of the last set of IMO regulations - what do you see as the effect of IMO 2023 as it comes inti effect?
