[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 5283043, member: 22662"] True. I think it’s probably a matter of time. We’re living in an age with 8.5% inflation and a company continuing to cut rates with a fuel supplement that covers about 40% of the increase from a base amount. For clarity, if a contractor in early 2022 had a base price of $2.00 per gallon and spent $6000 per week and the price goes to $4.00, the weekly expense would be $12000. Of that extra $6000, fuel supplement covers $2400. That’s $3600 every week that comes out of already slim margins. People will try and they’ll hope something will change for the better. It hasn’t gotten better. Not sure why folks would continue to wait on it. [/QUOTE]
