Its all in the price of diesel .At $4 a gallon in a truck getting 7 mpg its going to be passed on to someone.Its the same reason everything else is so high right now.More than likely the reason it went so far out of the way is due to the fact that most carriers use hubs an every thing goes there first,it doesn't seem right but thats how they make their schedule.I work for Fedex and I know to get from Jacksonville to Pensacola it would go to Atlanta to Birmingham to Mobile to Pensacola.It seems strange but they make money doing it that way.
