    My business depends on my techs and sales people ( and myself ) being mobile. We operate as far as 70 miles in three directions. It is the the #1 Achilles Heel to our continued existence.

    Just yesterday I passed on a large opportunity because of the distances involved to multiple locations.

    Tanker truck just pumped out 7,500 gallons of off road diesel in our fuel tanks. Remember this is off road high sulfur fuel with no road tax included and we paid $3.61 per gallon for a grand total of $27,075.00. Depending on how hot and dry it will be the next month or so this could last us up to seven weeks or as little as 13 days.

    Another pleasure of doing business.....
