My dad is anOwner/Operator trucker and last year, his fuel bill for the year was $85,000. If fuel didn't take so much, he would be living well...................
I know exactly what your dad is going through being I'm an owner/operator as well! My diesel fuel bill is right around 70,000 dollars right now a year, thats with one truck on the road putting 220 miles on a day 7 days a week. If diesel was even as cheap as gas I could be making
allot more money!!!!!!! You people that burn gas consider yourself lucky compared to what I and others have to pay for in diesel. I lost 20,000 grand just last year alone because of the huge rise in the diesel price.
Yeah, dad's truck runs about 700 miles a day. He hauls distillers grain from the local ethanol plant and is really busy with that. The truck has to run 7 days a week, but he has 2 drivers hired that drive 2 days out of the week so he can take a break and keep the logbook legal.(if that is possible......

Fuel is killing us right now, but at least it makes ends meet.
