Thats what ive spent on gas/diesel the past two weeks. That adds up to about $25000/year. That is pretty discouraging

Man - I truly hate it for you and unfortunately your customers, as you will HAVE to pass that kind of difference along to them..

No doubt buddy it’s straight bs. I feel like everyone in mainstream is talking about how easy electric would be for transportation in the cities but what about us folks who have to haul and run equipment or cattle for a living? I’ve yet to see an electric option that could pull a 32’ trailer with a load of cows across state lines, and how are you gonna run a dozier or excavator when diesel is eating you alive? I’m just doing work for my longtime clients to save face but at this point it’s just to keep everyone happy. This sure isn’t the time to make gains in the dirt moving business and good luck getting a part when something breaks.

Hardhead. Why haven’t you swapped all your equipment to electric like Pedo-Joe recommended?

Also talked to a general foreman for a local tree service close to here. He told me what they try to make per hour and its 4x what i charge. And i know im doing as much work, maybe more per hour than what youd get with them. If this persists, there will have to be some changes made in my business model.

It has been a good day and even paying that much for fuel, im still making more than i ever have. Its just the point of the whole thing. Those who care so much about our well-being keep on screwing us but God just keeps on pouring out the blessings. Ill just eat pulse. God is a wonderful paymaster.

I'm a one man shop too. I've spent $327 on gas for just my truck from Sunday to today. Close to 1300 miles this week.

Y’all enjoy it fellas, hope y’all can pull some cream off the top. Seems like a good time to up the home owners insurance and test the limits of that 20” bar Husky.

It’s awful. I’m spending $350-$500 a week in fuel myself. There’s no need for that at all. None.

950 ain't even a fill up for some private owned truckers, my business is spending around $400/week to renovate houses in the alabaster area (driving from Prattville). And I'm driving my wife's 6 cylinder mini van just to save money, let her drive the truck around town. Just use the truck to drop job trailer off first day then commute with the van all other days. Sucks.

Happy Birthday Jwalker
