Truck Owners ANGRY and Scared Over Fuel Costs

sorry i didnt say im not a trucker, i was merely commenting on our gas prices, as for the milage and rates i dont know, i cant see our trucks getting any better milage as we mostly have coe trucks here

 

in that case let me inform you a lil bit okay. Mr. Bronc was just talking about pulling a load that would pay $1.10 a mile to the truck. I hauled for that same rate in 1994 when diesel fuel was $.82 gallon. Now it's at $4.00 a gallon. Back then I would not run for less than $1 mile. I doubt I need to get into the equipment cost increses in that same time not to mention insurance and shop rates. That nuber alone is frightening enough

 

Set a date, ill park in front of the white house, hell ill be the first one there with my 4mpg W900!

 

huh....i never see that many cab overs in boise,ID, USA!!!

sorry not trying to be mean, but it does say yer from boise, not the uk

i dont imagine rates are much better, if at all

and i really dought fuel mileage is any better

 

not the white house....that phony freakin flower garden they plant on the lawn in montana is where i'll be

at least then ill be in my hometown jail where my family can come see me.....lol

 

yeh sorry i used to live in boise, were now in the uk, like i said i dont know anything aout rates here but i can try and find out, not that it really matters but it would be an interesting comparison.

 

I know there fuel mileage isn't better. May be worse. But they also only work a few hours a day which is what I'm getting at. I wonder how many UK driver have ever seen 4000 us miles in a week so there obviously not going to have th fuel expense we do

 

Don't worry. I want to run away from this country too.

There is drivers from the UK on this bard. It's be faster to just pm them

 

like i say i dont know what sort of milage they do a week but most are international so they go all over europe not just the uk as its only a 90 min ferry crossing to france
