all summer huh?
I've been charged a fuel surcharge for over 5 years now for plywood deliveries ever since the gas prices got rediculous. It started out as a buck or 2, now it is $10.00
and their trucks are deisel, 20 deliveries per truck per day and they are cleaning up on fuel costs I'd say
it gets harder and harder to compete for jobs from the big boys who can easily absorb extra costs, so it basically comes right out of my pocket and I end up with lower wage because of it just like what happened to lurch.
