Default I had my friends ROFL

ROFL = rolling on the floor laughing

They came over to "pre-game" going to the bar. We got to talking about fuel prices. They asked how it is affecting me.

I told them I'm making more money then ever. They thought I was joking.

Guess they've never heard of a fuel surcharge.

26%???????

It should be around 50-52%!

26% is the same rate from well over a year or "TWO" ago!

Nothing to see here, please move along...

You clearly have no clue what the rates for tradeshow hauls are. 26% will pay anywhere from $0.80 - $1.00 per mile FSC. :roll:

I barely get 1/2 the linehaul...I'm so getting ripped off! I'm gonna have a talk with my agent and have them haul cheaper freight so my fsc is 50%. I'm tired at pulling for 2-6 bucks a mile :roll:
