I just filled up at $1.11 a liter, up from .95 a week ago. I think it's time to better co ordinate my jobs, maybe add a small trip charge to offset the increases that will come in chemicals and logistics. Any suggestions that will ease the price of doing business?

Can you bump what you charge up? Extra charges is not a popular phrase with customers.

Rest assured that this price ofr gas is just the beginning. The economic impact will be felt by everyone. I would estimate that raw materials will be going up big time just like verything else. In talking with some of our customers they have already been hit with 10 - 15% price increases on garbage bags. They are usually the first ones to go up. Then you have raw materials, then packaging, then food, then etc. etc. I would recommend that anyone start raising their price. Whether you add it on as a fuel surcharge or just a price increase - that is your call. it is coming sooner than you think |

With the cost of fuel rising I now hear portable carpet cleaners bashing truckmounts saying: "You will now pay more to have your carpet cleaned if a truck is in your driveway with an engine running". |
