High fuel prices affect many owner operators like myself who have a steady haul for a company for a set rate. The problem is, they don’t see any reason they need to raise rates just because fuel keeps creeping up as long as guys will haul it.

Our mill just had 4 o/o’s quit the same day. They’ve been promising a raise for months. As of right now we make up the difference out of our pockets. There’s a lot of local owner operators like myself who will be selling out or going OTR if this continues.

Same here, specialized contract hauls, FSC won't hardly make up for the loss. I've steadily increased my rates all year to offset any revenue loss due to fuel prices. So far, no issues, but when the day comes they won't pay it, I'm done, and will sell out. At almost 62, I've been at it long enough. Don't want to, but it is what it is....
