Tanker

Fuel price is not the only factor in deciding whether to tanker or not. Don't forget to factor in the increased brake and tire wear landing with the increased weight. On our type, one brake costs $60,000 x 4 = $240,000. The more mass they have to stop the faster they wear out. We do tanker sometimes but we look at more than the fuel price.
