Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

By the way for those that may not know.
With the FUEL BOOK app. You don't have to select three interstates or hyws you can just tap one then use your back button on your phone it will take you back so you can select your fuel providers .
It was a while before I accidentally figured this out lol.

 

So I picked up my first 9 series trailer last night...wow! I've been spoiled by 14 and 16 series trailers so far lol

 

I have a 93 seeies.

 

Bloomsbury NJ..fuel price at TA 2.10gal less IFTA 1.93
Harrisburg PA....fuel price at TA 2.53gal less IFTA 1.89

This is through NASTC.
I only use SNI's fuel card when the discount beats NASTC.

 

Well it does

Carlisle J/sourounding Pilots...$2.42 with SNI discount, less ifta $1.78

This is why I never got NASTC. I didn't do in depth research but what research I did, most of the time SNI fuel card beat NASTC and I couldn't justify the $250/yr fee. Plus a lot of the stops I had to compare pilot to were QT/speedway or places without showers. It just doesn't make sense for me.

 

Yeah sometimes SNI does beat NASTC..but I tend to save more with them.
Justifies the yearly membership costs..when I first went on NASTC it paid for itself in under 2 months.
Hell not long ago SNI bonus was .13 off..I mean really?
They state in the contract that their keeping part of ANY discount we may get.

As for their locations..most times TA/Petro is right around the corner.
It's all about trip planning not just blind driving and looking for a pilot/flying J.
But to each his own.

 

Depends on the state, but I use both too. NASTC fee is easily paid for by the savings. Not even a close call there. NASTC was 2.13 in Ohio this week while pilot was 2.27.

 

I had to pull a 95xxxx to shakey last week. Two weeks before I had to pull a 95xxxx to oregon and it didn't have any skirts. I didn't need them but I was told to go to an oc and have them installed. I get there and the service writer says that the trailer is on the disposal list and checks to make sure they're still supposed to install them. Comes back, yep it'll be 3-5 hours....

 

Yup! Lol. You weren't by any chance on PA 309 today where you Wipper?
