Will Work for Fuel

[BLewis]

You ever have one of those days where it seems you are busier than heck but when you roll back to the shop you just haven't made any money! Well, today was one of those days, run run run, and back to the shop with 4 or 5 hundred. Just to note I am thankful to have this much coming in.
I know I posted a few months ago complaining about the price shopper calling to try to talk me down to 3 rooms for $75. and I rejected it. Well, since then I told the wife if we get a small job to schedule it at the end of the day so that I can use this one as a cool down and have the money to fill the tank with diesel before heading to shop. So that's what I did today. Last job 2 rooms $85 then fill up $80.

Home for dinner and back out tonight so I can make my 700 or so off a couple of restaurant accounts.

For those of you that don't really know me this is my attempt at humor

My so called tech didn't show for the day jobs today, and probably that is why it seemed so hectic plus getting caught in the 2 Inch downpour early this morning.
And yes I am interviewing for his replacement but I am dotting the i's and crossing the t's so he can't draw ue.

How would you like to have Ken Snow's fuel bill at the end of the month?

 

[BLewis]

I would hate to see his at the end of a day!

 

[AshleyMckendree]

Is this the same tech that didnt show for that job we teamed up on?

tisk tisk

Harper & Company,

Fella's, I was not whining, I was trying to cut a damn joke! (You know the guy on the corner holding the sign "Will Work for Food". I wish I would spend $160 every day for fuel for one truck (as long as I'm not the only one on it!). Actually it pleases me when I have to fill it up every day, that means I've been busy and making lots of money. My fuel cost for that particular day way 6.67%

 

[Lee Stockwell]

When it shuts off at $100, rather than sliding the card again I tell my son I'll put another $100 in it tomorrow morning.

Gotta love the busy season!

I have two 500 gallon tanks. They must be refilled every two weeks. Every Monday I write a check for $3300+ and I think it is a good deal.

 

[Becker]

Gas will be dropping like a 90 years balls if the trend continues.

If so every time I fill up I'll be thinking I'm getting a rebate.

Lee. What are you driving that you can put 100.00 in?

6 weeks ago 100 did not fill it from a 1/3 of a tank. But now it easily does.

Washington's gas prices are normally higher than a lot of the country.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Extended Ford van. 33 gallons to empty. Almost $120 to fill if it were empty.

From our Mobil Oil payables account on our accounting system.

Ouch!

 

[bob vawter]

you paid it TWICE?

 

[Ken Snow]

LOL- it does look like that doesn't it- no I should have edited it. It is the invoice and the payment so they wash. I will remove the second one. If I had included the header lines above it would have made sense. Good observation though Bob!

:shock: and I was complaining because mine was $4,500.00.

 

[Ken Snow]

And that doesn't include the non-fleet & retail vehicles whose drivers have their own credit cards. Probably another 4-6k a month at least.
