Actually, you do foot the bill for it or one's like it! It's for a fill up on a typical Semi. I'll get around 1200 miles out of this, if I take it easy and don't idle the engine alot (1 gallon per hour if I idle). It's just a matter of time folks before prices on everything are going to go through the roof.

If you're an owner-operator or have a trucking company, you're probably going prematurely grey.

I used to have 3 trucks. My little company brought in a pretty good profit in the beginning, but about the time that low-sulfur fuel was introduced, the profits were getting skinny. I sold my trucks and have never looked back.

There are a lot of threads on VJ about increased fuel & oil prices. IMHO, we have probably reached the 'Hubbard Peak'.

Thank you but I'm fine! I have the best job in trucking. I'm a Company Driver in the Entertainment Industry. I don't know what's going on up at the ranch in Jersey, but they haven't said anything to us yet. We have good drivers though (O/P excluded!). Most of our Company owned trucks have generators on them, so there's no fuel wasted idling. Mine is a rental though, so I don't have one. I don't idle too much unless it's unbearably hot. The cold is a cinch, just add a blanket. Increased ticket prices is the likely (O.K., definite)result for the consumer.
