Abstrak

<i>Background:</i> Carbon pricing in the form of fuel taxes is an important tool for abating climate change. This study examines the impact and pass-through of fuel taxes in the truckload freight market. <i>Methods:</i> State-level truckload market data, integrated with retail diesel prices, are analyzed using fixed-effects regression modeling. <i>Results:</i> Taxes and fuel costs are not only passed on by diesel retailers to motor carriers; the results reveal the overshifting of diesel taxes from motor carriers to shippers. <i>Conclusions:</i> The findings are consistent with inelastic short-term demand for long-haul carriage, indicating that relatively large price increases will be necessary to reduce diesel consumption in the trucking industry.
