Newscum should suspend the gas tax. He won't though, He is too busy trying to figure out how to build a rail.

The states could give people a 60 or 90 day break on some fuel taxes to help out, but they won't do that, will they?

Didn't California pretty much force the shutdown of two of their major refineries in their state?

Velero and Phillips?

This is why there will be no truckers strike, a surcharge will be added on and you’ll like it.


I've been paying energy surcharges for 15 years on invoices.

No, his deliveries are free and the product he sells is what makes the money.

If he doesn't deliver his product, they are unable to get it.

thats hard to believe. A fuel surcharge has been normal part of the industry for decades.

If true though, more power to him for finding a way to hide it in his charges.


He's not a trucker, he's not part of the trucking industry.

I don't know why you guys seem to think truckers are the only ones who use diesel in their business.

What happens after 60-90 days? None of our leaders seem interested in ending the wars in Iran or Ukraine anytime soon.

He said today diesel is $6.50 there and he just currently has to eat the extra costs. He's considering adding a surcharge for every delivery for the first time ever as a result.


He will have to. My trash company sure didn't hesitate adding a surcharge for fuel the last time we had spikes.

Of course, a bunch of pumps only go to $9.99


They'll recalibrate the pumps to pump diesel in half gallon units.
