You posted in Whippers thread about fuel surcharge. I'll answer here because I can't in his thread.

As long as Drivers keep saying or posting "yea it's bad but Atleast I can still" remarks anytime someone brings up a valid criticism of SNI and SNI reads or hears said statement and drivers are standing in line waiting to become a choice driver SNI will do as it pleases with rates, fsc or whatever.

I was in my ICA's cubicle last week and I asked his response is SNI has always been slower when rates recover.

He then goes on to tell me next month rates will go up 3 or 4 cents per mile. So I ask HOW does he or SNI know this unless SNI is keeping rates artificially low on purpose. His response "that he was told they would go up and that's all he knows"

So I say everyone stop giving SNI a pass just because "you're still making money"

I mean #### it already!!

Agree completely I actually stayed in a truck stop yesterday and asked 10 o/o what there FSC was for the day/ week/ etc 3 didnt know but did say they need to look at it as,the fuel getting high again...the other 7 were WAY WAY more the Schneider....fuel has to be a separate item...fuel changes almost every day and we get a few pennies every 2 weeks....BS...its real money going in that tank as you know...

They're supposed to provide a chart for what FSC will be depending on what the current national average is. It's not supposed to be a secret.

 

Its not a secret....its just very low with fuel going up a dime a day...or so it seems...

Is that cute little gordita still working in the shipping office?

 

Yea it does seem like it drops fast, but takes forever to go back up.

 

In Whippers thread they're talking fsc. I can there lol so I'll respond here.

Fuel surcharge is adjusted daily as explained to me years ago in gb.

Fuel discount is adjusted every other Wednesday.

I believe their maybe confusion.

Maybe not!!
