Tell me how… How am I supposed to run an affordable service when the cost of diesel is so high?
My business has always been 2 things… reliable, and affordable. My reliability isn’t going anywhere. But my affordability is being sentenced to death by these ridiculous prices. I don’t want to have to close my doors and hope that in a month or two they’ll come back down to a more reasonable price. But I can also understand that the average person who wants a small parcel taken from Sydney to Brisbane can’t fathom paying $180-$200 when literally 4 weeks ago I would’ve only charged $100.
I’m going to keep trying and doing my best at keeping myself on the road. But I cannot allow myself personally to fall under. We are all out here to make a buck at the end of the day, we all have bills to pay. This is hard, and disheartening. I worry for the future, but I’ll do my best 🤍
