Increasing fuel costs!

I wonder if some of the networks are willing to give us a break as the fuel costs continue to rise.

Also, those of you that have signed up with Allstate on your price bids---are you going to change? As some of us have indicated some time back, this bidding technique (which they state may place you in their top 3 for referrals) is "steering" plain and simple.

Layne,

That question kinda reminds me of, ( at the risk of sounding flippant), the old Buddy Holly song, That'll Be The Day!

You want increased fuel cost's come to Quebec, 95 cents per litre and $1.01 for premium(close to $4 per gallon). It,s my understanding that they don't pay us for being mobile, it's our choice. I prefer paying a little more for gas than rent and insurance on a shop, not to mention the hours that are required for a fixed business.

A1, have you tried your new pit resin, any obsrevations?

Merci

I get 60 miles a gallon and I work mainly out of a tent so my gas is inconsequential ... but nonetheless there is no insurance company that will increase monies paid out for anything.

Are you the one with the scooter? I wish I can do that. Driving around in my car is dangerous enough already with the crazy college kids around. Especially during football season.

Hey its the cost of doing buisness as a mobile tech
How many hourly folks would dare ask for more money because gas has gone up? I would have to tell them dude you chose to live that far away and drive that big stupid truck not my problem.
When the costs go up it just means you need to plan your trips a little better and drive something that doesnt suck up too much fuel.
