I guess it really is true when they say TRUCKIN AINT FOR SISSIES ! I would quit as well if people had money to fix their equipment like they ought to. All the expenses nowadays make it to where a small diesel repair shop like mine lose work as well.

Sunday I went with a couple of friends to pick up a 4500 gallon fuel tank. They are hoping to buy a tanker load of fuel at a discount with a neighbor and try to have a years supply of diesel there to farm with since it only looks to be higher as the year goes on.

Between $3.89 and $3.97 here in Lynden WA.Thats why I am driving my Honda to work everyday and limit my wifes Suburban as much as we can.Milk prices start getting a little better around here and then fuel goes up. Time to start drilling in Alaska and the "Black Hills " in the Dakotas.

If any of you live around Niagra Falls NY, check out www.plastic2oil.com. Web site says they turn plastic back to diesel and gasoline. If true would be GREAT for enviroment (says we only recycle 7% of plastic rest to land fills) and might be able to get fuel cheaper.

It makes you wonder as all the price increase is speculative and profit taking.  So why didn't the price of oil go up last year after the well explosion in the gulf?  I know it wasn't tapped yet but they could've easily used it as an excuse.   Big oil is as much about making politically correct moves as anything.  The sooner we become less dependent on oil the better IMO.

Byron: don't try to compare one oil well explosion with a somewhat major oil exporting country in turmoil.

Stan, I agree.  But, you listen to the crap excuses they come up with as to why the market goes up or down or commodity prices go up or down.  Most of it is here say and profit taking.  It's only loosely based on supply and demand now most of it is speculation.
