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? ------------- Certified to be certifiable. |

Can you bump what you charge up? Extra charges is not a popular phrase with customers. ------------- CCT, UFT, OCT, CRT, RRT, WRT, SMT, FSRT, JTC, JSR, JWR, MTC a great life, if you don't weaken. |

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 ------------- Jim Darling |
