LOL! Then, the dirty harmonics from the diesel generators powering the chargers fries the electronics on the big rigs, and we're now running a shortage of Macks. Of course, Mack trucks are actually owned by Volvo, and we've made the Swedes angry somehow, so they'll be upping the prices. We could hire more truckers to help offset some cost. But, they can't speak or read English. Reagan 1 Quote

OlDawg Posted yesterday at 07:43 PM Report Posted yesterday at 07:43 PM 35 minutes ago, Boyz N Da Hood said: Our rates are definitely bout to go up! 🇺🇲 Better marketing to add a surcharge clause. Grab a blank contract template from one of the big boys. I’m sure they have the clause in their contracts. Just copy it, and add it to your contracts. Then, you can tell your customers you’re holding prices, but you have to add the surcharge because of current fuel costs. Easier on you and contract negotiations, and makes you seem like you’re willing to be helpful when most are in a bind. But, you still maintain your profit margin, and may even come out ahead without ‘raising prices’ if you set the surcharge with enough of a margin. Again…just me. thetragichippy 1 Quote
