Moving answwers?

Okay for the people moving from coast to coast wondering why your move is much more expensive than your friend's 100 mile relocation.... Im a trucker I work for a Van Line... yes that means a moving company... your move is less because of distance... Please tell me you realize that trucks dont run on air and that the cost of diesel is going up fast... Trucks average 5.5 mph and cost about .80 cents a mile to operate.. .then there is the insurance for your goods... and lets not remember ... we get what we pay for...
