So as the world spins faster and faster out of control. Is there a way to project pricing for the upcoming heating season.
I would assume at the very least trucking will go up. ???

So what are the "guarantee'ds"? Higher fuel prices in general, more Government regulation, vilification in the press... I don't have a good record of prognostication... :annoyed:

With inflation coming back I don't think you have to be a brain surgeon to predict coal prices going up because the cost of production is probably going up, thanks big guy.

To be clear, thanks for the inflation or thanks for the whole green deal? :annoyed:

Doing the math, trucking was $800 more for a 20 ton load 1000 miles (give or take 50 miles) to my location than it was 2 years ago. Lack of drivers is part of that increase. Your results may vary. But I figure other fuel sources will also go up so its a wash.

Got a load from Lehigh last week
We were up 10$ a ton and a 22% fuel surcharge for trucking.
Also trucking was a day late.

$170 per ton at the local breaker a few days ago. That's what it has been for a few years. Boss at the breaker was complaining of rising costs and being unable to hire help. He didn't hint of a price increase but I think it is inevitable that it will go up soon, just my opinion.

The way things have been going I'd say you did well. Now you are locked in for a few years.

I got my 3 tons of bagged Lehigh about a month ago from a local guy. $280 a ton and $40 delivery charge so about $900 for my years supply. For a 71 yr old I'll pay the price. A lot better then dropping trees in the woods, dragging the logs out with the tractor, cutting, splitting, and stacking. That was a young mans sport.
