    I haul contract freight so my rates are locked in over the life of the contract. Depends on where you buy fuel if your fuel cost is skyrocketing. I get approximately 40 cents off the pump price. I am not going to complain but I still make more money when it’s $4 a gallon with my surcharge. 5CE41042-7A89-445D-95E6-86C57F9F2E10.png

    That measly stimulus money was likely long gone a week or two after people got it. There’s no way that has been driving all of this demand.

    The way I saw people coming out of the big box stores with carts full of big screen tvs, I doubt if a lot of people had it last 3 days.
