Prices - USA - Fed up with fuel
Gas prices likely to affect drivers' habits, wallets
FONTANA,San Bernardino,CA,USA -San Bernardino Sun, by Joe Florkowski -August 12, 2005: -- For some truck companies, such as Chino-based, Jack Jones Trucking, the rising fuel prices are passed along to customers through surcharges, said president Valerie Liese.
"I have to," Liese said. "Everyone is in the same boat."... For many in the trucking industry, like Liese, they can pass their costs along by adopting surcharges...

By hiring those independent owners and operators, those trucking companies cut down on workers' compensation and fuel costs for their business, Liese said...
