But how much might it cost the trucker to get to the starting point?????

And then how many miles must he drive to get to his next load? Hey, getting
stuff hauled these days don't come cheap with the way everything has just
gone up. I bought a quart of oil in Wal-mart last week that cost me nine
dollars and change.
