[QUOTE="Wood Doctor, post: 3033577, member: 20385"] [b]Some Customers Understand...[/b] The best customers I have usually offered an extra $10 last year when they found out how far I ship their firewood (usually 15 to 25 miles). IU thanked them and then explained to them that I also have to run a saw and a log splitter. Many forget this. Customers buy their gas at the pump also. In the long run, the best way to combat your equipment fuel price increases is to raise the price of your firewood gradually and forget a "surcharge". Chances are, fuel prices are not going back down in the near future. We all have to bite the bullet. We are getting nailed at least three times: truck, chainsaw, and usually a log splitter. If the customer fails to realize this, feel free to look for another customer. It gets cold in the winter. [/QUOTE]
