The farmer that is leasing my farm property is getting ready to plant and is concerned with price of diesel and fertilizer right now. This tractor probably sucks down the fuel.
What are you guys paying for gas?

Like you were having something shipped on a semi?These freight companies are completely asinine. We got a freight quote from a guy to deliver us some equipment (atv sized creates) not drive on.
6500 bucks from Minneapolis to Billings, half a trailer load AND THAT WAS A SPLIT COST. The full load to Montana was 13k.
Needless to say he didn't get the job
What kind of trailer?

Semis get about 6 mpg, so it’s costing them $1 per mile in fuel right now.

Semi yes I imagine a van trailer. I dunno what the deal was but it honestly could've been a miscommunication. But hell for 6500 that's steep to for half a trailer.

Yes. When prices started climbing quickly this year I switched vehicles with my wife. I drive 100 miles round trip for work and started driving her Subaru Crosstrek. She drives half that distance on her longest days as an in home caregiver and began driving my 2018 F150.
About a month ago we parked the truck for all but taking the boat to the local lake for the occasional fishing trip. My wife started driving my mother's Ford Focus. We've seen the cost savings.
With the most recent price hike to 4.59 and almost certainly more before Memorial Day weekend, I've canceled a fishing trip dragging my boat 6 hours to a friend's house. He had already canceled coming here for his annual turkey hunt.
I'm not even going to drive my truck to work to change the oil, I'll drive it 5 miles to a friend's house this weekend.
It all adds up, some more than others.

Nope we actually added a couple long distance trips dragging the lund from Montana to Pennsylvania and western NY ,My wife's theory is it's only money and they print it so we spend it

We hit $4.85 a gallon for regular yesterday here in Allentown, PA. Good thing there was a release from the Strategic Reserve.

I hate to say it, but it’s just gonna be that way for a while. It’s gonna take your customers balking at rising costs from shipping, and you not paying the rates for them to come down.
Quick math in my head if I was to quote you on that I’d say around $10k. $13k that guy is gonna do real good especially since he’ll most likely find a back haul.

Fuel has gone up 300% but that's ok. My social security is supposed to go up 8%.

Really jumped here, about 50 cents up to $5.12 for regular.
Just remember you’re really sticking it to Putin, so you got that going for you.
Yeah! We’ll bankrupt our middle class to knock Putins net worth from $10 billion to $8 billion! That’ll show him to mess with us! What a sucker!
