Not sure, but plastic is a petroleum-based product. It may be that plastic widget manufacturers cannot be profitable, so they have chosen to shut down the plants.

4’x8’ sheet of 20 gushed sheet $150
Total $590 plus another $100 in diesel to go get it between Greensboro and Winston Salem.
This material is to tube the back half of the black mini since I cut off the bed which was impractical and beat to crap.

I spent a bit more time on the truggy today, working on the boat sides and the rear axle truss and upper link tower. This photo shows the basic setup, the blue tape representing the upper and lower links. The frame side of the upper links will be housed just to the inside of the outer bars for...

would you complain if your vendors of any kind added a fuel charge these days?

Tough call. I retained and earned a lot of business after Katrina because I specifically did not add a fuel/distance/misc charge when fuel was expensive and hard to find (and I managed to retain 50-75% of those new clients until I stopped tracking it 3 years later, but that's not related to the question). The increase then was nowhere near what has happened in the last 6-8 months so I'm gonna say I wouldn't complain, unless the vendor has been adding transpo increases consistently throughout the fuel increases. In that case, I wouldn't necessarily complain but I'd damn sure ask some questions if it was a long time vendor with whom I had great history. That doesn't mean I wouldn't agree with their thoughts but it would give them a chance to make me feel good about their decision.
Beer is is still cheap!! Or at least it was last night
Money laundering, one of the subjects they teach us in high school in Miami as everyone does it. Get your budy to put up a crapcan on BAT, get your friends to help you drive the bid up to $100K, you pay each of them $2K, you clear $96K of that dirty cash you found in the apartment next door.
Thanks for those thoughts @JohnVee . Fuel cost jumped about 40% running a bunch of those ISUZU NPR W-3500. $155.00 a day each

Blech. I should have also stated that I have no current dog in this show since I'm not working anymore but I now have a $300 round trip between home and my most frequent, and necessary, spot. 80 or 100...doesn't matter but a couple bucks.
I have 20 cents per gallon on my fleet gas card. Still hard to believe that last year was half that.

Funny how it only took a generation or so for hedging your bets against hard times to go from normal to “crazy”.
