Unfortunately/eventually it gets passed onto the consumer. I've been in trucking 25 years and the rates are incredible.

I was amazed at diesel price yesterday. The station by my house had stayed at $2.35 for about 8 months since around last November, it didn't go up or down a bit. About two months ago, it went up to $2.45. Overnight Sunday night, it jumped to $2.65.

I feel inflation coming on. I'm raising my prices effective today.

Cuda I agree. I am charging for travel now. Cost me 100 bucks for fill up last night. 2.69 a gallon.

Didn't the truckers go on strike back in the 70's over fuel prices?

Not sure when but yes they have in the past. The difference now is that they have been able to pass the costs on to the end user. Back then (at leaste from what I have read) they were not able to do that.

Yep.... fuel surcharge.... nice way to up rates... Here in Calisiliconia my neighbor is talking about adding a "workman's compensation surcharge" because his rates have gone up sevenfold in the last five years....

Trucking was alot different back then. Way too many large companys and " new breed" sidewalk sissy's that wont stick together. All it would take is a nationwide shutdown for 1 day to open everyones eyes. The larger companys are content with fuel surcharge that will keep trucking. I personelly refused 3 load offers for one of my trucks just yesterday because it would of been in the negative side for revenue.

We dont even have to do it on a weekday Every one just needs to stay home and buy no gas for a weekend and the point will be driven home!
