How busy are you this year compared to other years?

Hardly any industry up here. Majority is retired and fixed income. So when things get tight.......
08 and Covid, hardly felt a thing. CA has killed business with taxes and regulation.
Fuel should go up another .65 per gallon next month.
Everybody is feeling the crunch

I've been paying much higher prices than normal too, since our fleet station closed for upgrade. They are spending millions on new tanks and equip to comply with regs. But it forces me out 1/2 hour - 1hr to get proper fuel at up to 6.00 per for clear diesel. Dollar more a gallon than where I would fill up not going out of my way. So I have to plan fill ups careful to keep some cost down. Like today, I'll top off the Dodge down in the valley after PT. I had to run next town over Wed. but took fuel cans with me. The fleet station over there is the better price and good fuel. Wasted trip for the trailer coupler I went for. Could have saved myself 1/4 tank of fuel and done it today at just .10 more per gallon.
They have the coupler down there in stock with my name on it.

Is a bulk tank on your property an option for your business? Maybe delivery is a no go?

I couldnt afford to fill it, let alone purchase one. And some regulation/permitting involved.
