Fuel buyers tend to shut down, or blank out when the topic turns to \u201chedging\u201d fuel costs. But, it\u2019s really not that complicated. Elaine Levin, President of Powerhouse, has been in the futures markets for early thirty years, and has taught her own Fuel Hedging Class that has had more than two thousand attendees. When it comes to explaining plainly and simply why hedging for anyone who buys bulk fuel \u2013 especially carriers \u2013 is critical, it\u2019s Elaine. We\u2019ll get her to answer the basic questions, and also get her take on what is going to drive fuel prices in the next several months. She is joined by Director of FreightWaves Academy, Scott Berhang.\nFollow FreightWaves on Apple Podcasts\nFollow FreightWaves on Spotify\nMore FreightWaves Podcasts\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
