Trucker dot com poll on fuel prices

[fortwayne]

From thetruckers.com website a recent poll had some interesting results:

Many owner-operators have been especially hard hit by fuel prices. As an owner-operator, how high would prices have to go before you 'park your truck?


$3.50 (34.65%)
$3.75 (11.55%)
$4.00 (32.34%)
$4.50 (6.93%)
$5.00 (14.52%)

Well, this could get interesting!

Interesting numbers but I wonder about their validity. Are they real or are they "gut reaction" and just picking a number without truly thinking it out?

Maybe there are some O/O who are 101% against high fuel prices.

Also depends on what everything else does. Will surcharge take the bite off the prices? If everything stays the same, but fuel still goes up, I don't know how long it'll be before I don't make a big enough profit that will justify me being out here.
