Jorge Hinojos runs Global Freight, a trucking company in Texas.
He found Kalshi during the World Cup, and in August, with diesel climbing, he started exploring our commodities markets.
With US diesel at $5.80, Jorge put $3,000 on it hitting $6.20 or higher by the end of September as a hedge in case prices kept rising.
They did. Diesel has since reached an all-time high, clearing $6.40/gal today.
Jorge's hedge paid off, and now he's selling his position bit by bit to cover what he's paying at the pump. Plenty of truckers are losing money on every load right now, but Jorge's hedge is covering the gap.
It's the toughest fuel market that truckers have ever faced, but protecting yourself from the next spike has never been easier.
Drivers and fleet owners can hedge diesel on Kalshi today.
