If an extra $50 to $100 a month in fuel bills is going to lead to you having to eat your dog, maybe you shouldn't have bought that monster truck...
When’s that last time?

130mg potassium iodide
but for most of the old fookers here it would be pointless
in the case of weapons probably pointless anyway

Since I’ve been around longer than the dirt most you clean out of your waste tank, I can share something I’ve seen repeatedly:
1. Guy gets too tired to keep cleaning at whatever age it hits him that he has never made much money and has just bought a crappy job.
2. Business hasn’t any real value, so no buyers.
3. Wifey watched the money well enough that he can shut down with it being no big loss.
4. Instead of just hanging up his wand, he decides he will just raise his prices substantially, so he can still make some fun money and work a day or two a week to stay out of wifey’s hair.
5. Surprise! He loses few or no customers, as they gladly will pay substantially more to not have to find a new cleaner and they actually like his dumb jokes.
6. He remains nearly as busy, and only wished he had raised his prices years before.
Moral of the story: Raise your prices to whatever price you deserve. People hate change, and will pay more than you expect not to have to start a new business relationship. You might have a lower percentage of new business, and you could lose some commercial accounts that don’t appreciate you, but you’ll more than make it up in the money you will make on your other jobs.

"I was going to replace this year, but due to the uncertainty, lets have you clean it one more time, give it your best shot"
Heard it over and over in 2008

you should be advertising that you are NOT raising prices due to fuel.

It's time to build a true electric truck mount.
Some one will make huge profits in these times...

You don't run your truckmount much from the hours you have posted.
For some running their truckmounts every day all day long is more like a extra $50 every other day.
Still it is easy to offset fuel increases with a penny or two increase in the s.f. price.

got a request a quote via email today.
Referred by my pickiest customer who has me out twice a year to clean clean carpet. The only one who sends me a xmas card.
We play phone tag for a while. He needs a MBR, 1 guest br, a 3 seat loose cushion sofa that's always been covered and two small cheap rugs.
I quoted him around $300, which he didn't hear, and says so under $500? great, see you next Friday.
People are expecting to pay more.

And I hate deliberate misspelling, so you lose a turn. Go to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
