Joey Mack Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 our local news is reporting a diesel fuel shortage here in N.C. Is this happening in youre state? I would think there would be a surplus. the price goes up .20c or more every few days. jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 i have been hearing about the great fuel shortage here in joisey for the past two weeks. but fuel went down 25 cents a gallon between friday and this afternoon. and our local fuel delivery trucks are running two shifts trying to keep up with the demand.

Joey Mack Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Christ almighty.. I think about all you guys that fill Big truck fuel tank's, everyday.. I can get away with squirting 5-10 gallons, due to my short range of operation, but It still adds up quickly. just last week, 3 days of my gross sales, paid for me to operate, the other 2 days paid me... I made just under $550.00.. for the week.. Oh well,, jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 we had to raise the hourly rate $25 to cover fuel costs. and that does not even pay for the fuel used. i am averaging $350 per day when out on rental. two years ago before bidet i was spending $150 per day on rental.

Joey Mack Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 My God !!! This is really bad... (stating the obvious) I know that if I didnt own all of my trucks, My house and all but my wife's Tri-Glide.. I would have already been wiped out... I am just afloat.. Hell I went to buy chlorine for my little 14' pool, and it was more than doubled in price. We can't even stay home and have an affordable good time... I say this as I watch the traffic in and out of 2 drug houses right across the street..( on my security camera's) They are the smart one's. no mercy, no responsibilities.. ok, back on topic.. God bless you for the ability to keep it going.. jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Too kind Mark T... That would be a cool deal.. I would enjoy it.. I'm slowly trying to get engines sent to me for rebuilds. I had 3, got 1 done and gone, 2 left. One is almost done, just waiting on parts, the other is an E-6 2v, for a '60 B Model.. its resto project. I already did the tranny, jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Joey, take the wife on vacation to mexico. while there, denounce your us citizenship and become a mexican citizen. then sneak back across the border. the government will give you everything you will ever need for the rest of your life. free housing, medical, car, phone, and weekly paycheck. 😁 1 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Joey Mack Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I sent you a P.M. Maybe 3 times.. not sure, something wasnt right, I drove Pumpkin trucks out of Mehoopany, from '98-early 2000.. I ran that area a bunch, because I was sent to New England on 95% of my loads... I used to drive by my (home) exit in Maine, when I delivered to Skowhegan, and such.. I pulled a lot of P&G loads from the mill, in the 'Endless mountains' well a year and a half's worth... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pulled out of p&g a lot. I live 40 minutes from there up on the NY line. Last exit on 81, exit 230. Nice light loads of paper towels and shit paper. My dad did too when he was with Kane outta Scranton. With my discount I'm paying 5.69 at the mom and pop I fuel at. Usually about 50c off a gallon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
