Re: Fuel Surcharges?

I agee with Charles. In my line of work I just raised my prices to keep my profit levels the same in order to compinsate for increased gasoline costs. Furthermore I wouldnt add it gas a line item I think to HO would not like to see that, instead just build it in to the price structure some place else.

I have raised my prices to cover the increase in fuel now and what I perceive it to be in the coming months. It is only a miniscule amount per job but adds up over a months time to pay for my increased fuel and overhead cost. The customer doesn't even notice. If I do 85,000 per month and up my price per job by only
.75- 1%, that more than covers my increased cost of fuel. The customer doesn't notice an extra piddly 1% and my competitors are the ones adding the extra fuel surcharge on their tickets.
