Planning out the rest of my trip to Phoenix.

I deliver in Phoenix tomorrow morning. Checking out fuel prices, and I see in the 3 weeks since I was in Arizona, price of diesel has gone up by almost $1.50 a gallon. It was just over $5 a gallon and now it is $6.489 a gallon. That is why we’re at war? No, but Trump doesn’t get it either or does he?

I’m a company driver, but I look for the best prices for them. I’m going to fuel here in New Mexico, .90 cents cheaper.

Carriers do get fuel surcharges. But at this point, I’m betting that many won’t be able to afford the cost and succumb to their company closing. My company is is large enough that they can survive this, but what about a year from now, that is a bit worrisome!

Food cost are higher than ever before and it’s only going to increase.

All this because one man’s narcissistic ego! We all are paying for his insanity and incompetence!
