    Now is a good time to take some time off. Y’all just make sure to fill your tanks before election day so you can get some of this cheap fuel before it goes back up

    Dont you know it's the war in ukrain that is driving up the prices of everything? I literally heard that last night on while flipping thru the channels and I came across msnbc...

    I cannot believe people would actually believe that the Russia ukrain war is effecting their rents and power and water and grocery costs...

    It could affect gas prices, maybe prices on some imported products from the factories in Europe that were dependent on Russian gas - e.g.in Germany. But for instance, China or India are buying that gas cheaper than ever, and most likely most of imports here are coming from over there, anyways.
    For sure, the rates on DAT are not affected by Russian - Ukraine war.
     
    D.Tibbitt and Czar_Zero Thank this.

    Been doing ok with mid range (500-900 mile) $2.80-3.00 runs the past two weeks, but just had to book a 2.40 per mile load going to Utah tarped.

    Not ideal.
