    Fuel surcharge means it's literal definition. An extra charge for the cost of fuel. It's a business phrase.

    The difference between business terms and trucking lingo...

    Hot Shot is not literally the past tense of "shoot" with a very high temperature!


    Now let me know if you ever saw a bear in a Tijuana Taxi with a bubble gum machine sitting in a chicken coop taking pictures with a hair dryer!
    And if you do, brush your hair and comb your teeth because he might shoot you in the gashole when you go by!

    "Hot Shots" was the bad movie. "Hot Shot Loads" is the porn version of that movie and it is really well done. Great acting. Lots of drama right up until the climax of the last scene. Two Richards Up from the Chicago Sun Times.
