    that depends on a lot

    hauling produce can be a "by the weight" but for anyone who pays for their fuel, it shouldnt really matter, not unless you are in the habit of always hauling heavy

    i cant complain when i get a 45k load because i sure dont complain when i get a 400lb load

    it all weighs out in the end for me

    (how about charging more for windy days?) less for tailwind days

    Whats important here is; the more oil that is discovered and pumped out of the ground in the United States, the higher the price of fuel and gas. Don't believe me? Watch the news and watch the price of fuel.

    Wind affects mileage as much as weight does and mountains have less effect on fuel economy than wind does but wind comes and goes and hills are permanent. And then there is stop and go traffic.....


    And all of these affect women in the same manner as they affect men but maybe to a lesser degree because women tend to be more patient. In my experience.

    Thank you for all your great responses! I am interested because we are a non-profit production company doing a documentary on fuel. A section of the film will showcase how rising prices of fuel have affected individuals. We are looking for a few, strong, opinionated characters. If you have a compelling story we would love to be able to get to know you and your family. Although we are a non-profit and this does not pay, you have the opportunity to be featured in a documentary that will be viewed by millions of people, especially people who care about the same issues as you! Please private message me if you are interested.
