Service and Installation Trucks....Contractors, alot more than just jacked up 4x4's that are 100K show trucks for mag's....try running 4 Installation vehicles full bore, see what fuel prices do to you, hell my fuel cost have been a bigger part of my overhead.....past insurance, and that's never happened. EPA is out of control and causing the fuel prices to get redicilous, that and no energy plan from the ***** House I mean White House.

Nice to see someone that thinks like me. My wife tolerates me and my horses, but I think she likes them more than she lets on. The higher fuel does limit how much I will be hauling this summer for trail rides and junior rodeos.

And then there are those of us that had a gun held to our heads and were forced to get that humongous diesel pushing class A RV bus or that big trailer that needs at least an F350 or better . I mean can we share some love here ?!

I tell you what, I hate to be starting out with my boarding/training/breeding business right now. It took me 5 yrs to get my books into the black, I can't imagine what it would be like for a business like mine now.
