MACKS Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Higher fuel = higher rates,and don't think your customers wont pay higher rates,there is no way they can run a truck cheaper than an owner operator.

ciw65 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 And we got a fax from our fuel supplier this morning saying fuel is now $1.50 a litre. Converted to US cost that is about $5.22US a gallon. Nothing like the Easter break to bump up fuel prices. Now anyone would think me a cynic for saying that. And on March 9 I posted saying fuel was AU$1.40 a litre or about US$4.88 a gallon. Not a bad jump for 10 days. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2331-price-of-fuel/page/3/#findComment-17687 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxville Truck Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 You better pass it on on to your customers 105% if not you will be out of bussiness....... pretty soon everyone will be unable to afford anything, because of shipping costs.. the public has to feel the punch of these fuel prices in more than just their cars...that is where the strength in numbers "thing" will get some action going, but we have to ask ourselves how will it come down? we are in a global economy competing world wide for energy.... and as long as we continue to have a minority bunch of environmentalist's $^%$^er $^&%er's stopping us from doing what we can to produce energy whether it be renewable, drilled, distilled, gasified, nuclear, cracked or whatever. we are all headed for "interesting times"!!whew where's my dog gone prozac!!!!!
