Price of fuel went up again in my area

If you are leased onto a company that has steady contract customers that fuel surcharges are a part of the agreement you probably can make money irregardless of the price of fuel.

If you are on the spot Market where it's just an all in price, probably not so much.

 

Well let's see. I started this post quite some time ago, February 4th to be exact.

So we have heard it's only this point in time it's because of this it's because of that it's going to go down it's going to be this it's not what you think it is blah blah blah... Yeah, ok.

Haven't seen it go down I've only seen it go up. As I predicted. And there's no end in sight whatsoever. I have recently paid the absolute highest price for fuel that I have paid in the last several years. Hmmm... How could that be?

I will tell you this. When one person makes his own commodity and then suddenly decides I'm not going to make it anymore I'll depend on my competitors, and then the competitors raise the prices why would anyone be surprised?

I mean if that was you what would your response be? You would say well if you don't like it make it yourself. "But I just stopped doing that". Ok, then just bend over and we're going to smile. Like a moron you voluntarily rely on us now. Thank you for the great favor you've done for us now you can smile too as we thrust you rapidly and give you exactly what you asked for. I mean stopping your own production and relying on your competitors, what do you think you were asking for?

And then if your big plan is to get down on your hands and knees and beg your competitors please please don't raise the price you will affect my popularity... They will just laugh in your face which has already happened many times over.

But hey, it's not like we've ever seen this before or we had any idea this would happen... if only there was some way that we could have had a warning, some way that we could have had some indication of what could happen in the future...
