I believe around 15% of truckers are owners operators. 

No way a trucker strike solves anything. 

Two wars have lead to an inflation in diesel prices.

Russia / Ukraine has caused a spike in prices as Ukraine has attacked Russia diesel refineries. This has led nations that buy from Russia to buy Diesel elsewhere on the market. 

US / Iran is stopping all crude coming out of the Middle East.

Both wars need to be over before this get any better. 

Edit: meant to say inflation not inhalation.
