Son just bought another sheet of steel for ribs on his snow plow mgf. It use to be around $450 - then went to $750 a couple month back , now $1300 for a sheet .
He has them laser cut by a specialty shop and price has stayed the same for that but wanted to have a 3/8 plate cut for Heavy Duty plow ribs - $1,700 for the sheet .
2 x 2 square tube has tripled in price also but now a waiting time of 3 weeks for delivery and 1/2 down on order balance on delivery - Oh and delivery charge doubled also .

Son has a tri axle dump truck and is debating what to do about his hauling prices the way the fuel prices are going up.

tadems, he has to raise rates to survive. He just needs to stay within the price for hauling is going.

No news here, it's been on a continuous rise for the last four years, the tariff plan was a disaster, and lots of smoke and mirrors from domestic steel producers who received a huge gift from it.
