I sub-contract to a large company and the fuel surcharge doesn't change much. Work I do on my own there's more room. The problem is that some firms have released fairly generic letters to the effect of "In an effort to remain competitive we have capped the fuel surcharge." Which is a nice way of saving we still get our share, the rest is up to you. I believe Landstar is in the middle of a class action lawsuit for cutting the fuel surcharge to the drivers, charging the customer more, and keeping the revenue. Heard about that on XM Open Road.
10 cents in 22 hours?

Here in Charleston it had just dropped to $3.15 for a day and then all of a sudden...$3.39. The next day $3.43 and today $3.53. I'm lucky right now because I can get B20 on base for $3.05. It says for government vehicles only so until somebody stops and tells me I can't fill up there, I'm in and out of there with a quickness...at night!

Just came home from the U.P. (top of Michigan). A station in Manistique was priced 3.44 off road, 3.79 #2, & 4.55 #1 The cashier said the prices changed 18 cents over night.

Cars are full of gas, truck is full of diesel...
We have been to sick to drive.
I just checked our local stations and diesel is $3.909
Still not as high as Needles Ca. at $4.519
We had budgeted $4,000 for fuel on our trip, but at this rate, we might not be able to get out of California for $4,000.
