Gentelmen:


be carefull going up on prices due to fuel cost....

Charge a percentage. and KNOW your numbers.

if your fuel prices increase by 10% and you increase your sir charge by 5% you still lost 5%....

know your numbers.

This why I do a surcharge for gas. But I also raise my prices every yr too. If gas goes to a certain price then it will kick in. But from when I first started it ,the charge started at 3.25 ,now it will start at 4.50

My fuel cost for the equipment is somewhere around that percentage. But vehicle fuel is a different story.
