To all the whiners that don't know how to run a business properly, don't know how to negotiate, don't know how to keep costs under control, don't know their own TRUE cost:

Belgium - 7.25
France - 7.63
Germany - 8
Italy - 8.04
Netherlands - 7.74
UK - 8.58
US - 3.97

Times are changing. Change with them or die. That's how capitalism works. If you cannot survive, the government is NOT here to bail you out.

I have to agree on this one. Me and a friend was just talking about Gas in other countries today and I don't think the prices are NOT going to go down we just have to find ways to deal with the rising cost Period...

And what Country do you live in. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why would you want to roll over and take it. Your answer: "Everybody else is doing it." Wake up America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[allan5oh]

Roll over and take it?

The only thing that involves me and rolling, is the rolling I'm doing with the EXTRA MONEY I'M MAKING?

Why you ask? It's simple, I get a fuel surcharge. My fuel surcharge is based on 6 mpg. I get more then that. As a matter of fact, I make 1 CPM more every time fuel goes up about 25-30 cents. At around $5 a gallon, the FSC will completely pay for my fuel.

It's called good business.

So your a leased operator...............that explains it.
Get back to hauling that cheap freight.

[allan5oh]

"cheap freight" LOL

What's your net? After expenses?

Mine is around 85-90 CPM *ALL MILES*.

Is yours more or less?

If it's less, then you make less then someone hauling "cheap freight"(again LOL)

If it's so cheap, why do I get a good fuel surcharge for ALL miles? Something that other operators want the government to step in for? Who hauls the cheap freight? I think it's the guys that are going on strike.
