    I'm seeing these BS charges everywhere now. The place that just filled my oxy-acetylene rig charged me for "hazmat fees". They're straight up passing the fees the government charges them straight to me as a customer.

    I should start adding these charges on to my rate quotes too. IFTA fees, IRP fees, FHUT fees, NYHUT fees, UCR fees, etc etc on top of my line haul rates.

    I also noticed my electric company claims I'm only being charged about .06/kwh but with all the bs fees they add on it literally ends up being double that!

    We're all getting screwed regardless of what we do for a living.

    I wasn't gonna play this card but F....it.. I'am ( we ) are taking you at your word @Kenworth6969 on this issue you didn't post a picture of the shop's signage and what they will charge a customer for ..you didn't post a copy of the bill
    And we all know you tend to start threads just to whine
    I got a couple good friends that pull reefers I'll reach out to them and see if I can get a deal on some good Wisconsin cheese to serve with your wine

    My truck is in the shop at the moment for a transmission rebuild(Synchros are shot). I don’t cut corners so I’m having them replace clutch, rear main, rear engine plate seal, etc. It’s all out so let’s do it all right. Will post what the “Shop fee’s” will be when all said and done.

    When you ask someone how much to get the job done it's the total

    I get "shop" fee's. It's not cheap for supplies, especially in these days.

    I admit it. I hate it when a tip is included in my dinner bill. I get it, if it's a large party(7+), but for a 2 top(number of people at a table), or 4 top, or a single? Yea, not a fan. I should be able to decide the tip. Just irks me for some reason.

    So...you've been posting threads just to start controversy and draw attention to yourself? I think that's called trolling.
