Fuel prices have dropped, a bit. But I still pay a fuel surcharge when I go to the dump. Scrap prices are also high now, but thats only compared to what I was before. I get a premium rate, when I drop a load of scrap steel, and I PROMISE you guys, that I DONT get anywhere near the price that you think I get. Its NOWHERE near, the $200.00 per ton, that everybody thinks I get, unless I'm buying it. Costs, all the way across the board, have gone up. Yes, I make a good living, but I also have high costs. Those tubs are about $4000.00 each.
The sad fact is, it does get passed on to the customer. But I cant afford to run a business, without making a profit. Neither can anybody else. I just have to bite the bullet, when it comes to a purchase. I wish, that I made as much money as everbody thinks I do, and I wish that I could buy stuff at the price that I want..... O.k. guys.... I'll be good now. Thanks for letting me share.
