My company has 250 trucks burning about 10,000 to 12,000 gallons of diesel every day. At nearly $3 it really adds up quick. We add a fuel surcharge to all our rates. Customers pay it or we don't haul it. Between rate increases and fuel surcharges, our customers are paying about 25% more than just a few years ago. We primarily haul hazardous materials.

I hear you - That is why GWB should have stopped oil into SPR long ago - Cut the legs out of the spec guys who are costing everyone a fortune -

Again, slowdowns from energy prices when they finally hit...hit quickly -
