My hubby drives a diesel mechanics truck to and from work,60 miles round trip. It is a company truck. He says that it costs the company between $200 and $250 a week just to go to and from work. He said last night that they are cutting back on some of their locations and people to save money. He is so worried that they are going to make him park the truck and get to work on his own due to the diesel prices.

We have been blessed for so long as to how he has been able to save money using the company truck to and from his work. But having to pay $200-$250 just for an emplyee to get to work is going to come to an end soon.I just pray that we can get the old vehicle back in shape.

You never really never know what you have until it's gone or almost gone.

Blessings,
