⛽ Fuel prices are on the rise… so, freelance grooms, is it time to look at your rates?

If you’re driving between yards every day, those extra pounds at the pump can quickly add up. What might have been a workable freelance rate a few months ago could look very different when your fuel bill suddenly jumps.

So we want to know… are you looking at increasing your freelance rates to cover the difference?

💷 Have you already adjusted your prices?
⛽ Are you charging separately for mileage?
📍 Or are you absorbing the extra cost for now?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but it’s a good reminder to keep an eye on what your work is actually costing you - not just your hourly rate.
