    Not a huge deal, and was effective yesterday.
    Most likely all of you already know.

    But effective 8/29/14 Scale price increased to 10.50.
    Reweigh still 2.00

    What's the point of raising it by 50 cents. They should just raise it by a dollar.

    Why don't they get rid of the picture cards and quit advertising and lower it by $2.00

    From their web site:
    1,500 scales X 10 trucks per scale = 15,000 trucks a day X $10.00 per truck = $150,000 a day
    1,500 scales X 10 trucks per scale = 15,000 trucks a day X $10.50 per truck = $157,500 a day

    $150,000 per day X 365 days a year = $54,750,000 per year
    $157,500 per day X 365 days a year = $57,487,500 per year

    The answer is clear to me why they felt they needed to raise the price....CEO gave himself a $2,737,500 raise per year. Duh!
     
    Charli Girl, Jimmbuds and Dark Squall Thank this.

    LOL! Talk about ironic! The picture in your Avatar there Charli Girl reminds me of every CEO attempting to explain 'why' they felt they needed a raise.
     
    Charli Girl Thanks this.

    i'm going to have to agree on the card. i mean, i've never even looked at the thing. and i don't keep the tickets once the load is delivered.

    The real reason the raised the price is because they can. No competition at most locations, so why not.
