Yeah, I have to add a fuel surcharge this year. Fish prices were calculated on $3.899/gal for diesel.

When I pick up fish in Arkansas, it takes around 150-180 gallons of diesel to get them back here to Northern Indiana. Every day of fish deliveries takes roughly 30 gallons of diesel, sometimes more. You can do the math..............two weeks ago the local Loves Truckstop had diesel for $7.049/gallon...
