‘It hurts’: Detroit food truck owners feel the pinch as gas prices climb

Detroit food truck owners are struggling as rising gas prices push fill-ups to as much as $160, severely impacting already slim profit margins. Operators like Lynnette Rodgers, Richard Zemola, and Kaylah Polidori report that while they are trying not to pass these costs onto customers, maintaining profitability is becoming increasingly challenging. Despite the financial strain, food trucks remain committed to serving the community and are asking for continued support from loyal customers.
