Re: [RC] Bio Diesal - Lori Bertolucci

Barbara, my husband and I have a transfer dump truck that is our livelihood. Our fuel bill last month was $4800.00. We only haul from Bakersfield to Tehachapi, about a 100 mile round trip, doing that on average, 3 times a day. We are hoping things hold out long enough to pay off the truck, which will be in less than a year. But with construction slowing way down, we are certainly worried. Right now, most of what keeps us going are the people that need roadbase for their driveways, and the occasional arena sand. There will be a point where fuel will make the cost of the product way to expensive for people to buy. It is almost there now....

Can you imagine what it would be like to make your living as a trucker?  Can you imagine what such a price increase will do to the cost of food and other necessities?  Hang on...it's going to be a bumpy ride.  And you will hear screams from truckers from west to east coast.  I feel sorry for them.  And our business relies heavily on truckers....it's going to affect us all, somehow.

However, as it now appears, analyst predict diesal to be up around 6.50 - 7.00 this time next year.
