1. I can live with driving 65 mph. What are the HP ratings of the engines?
2. What is the point system I see mentioned?

I don't know the horsepower of the truck....and honestly never mattered to me....if I'm heavy its 35 miles per hour going up steep hills....once in awhile it gets down to 25 miles an hour but they have to be pretty steep.
I have heard some noises about a point system. I have heard there are good points and bad points. I never ask anybody to tell me what it is or how it works.
I deliver loads, when I don't have a load I asked for one...when I quit they asked me to come back...guess I had enough good pointsDominick253 Thanks this. -
The autos are horrid. You'll be going 25 on those baby hills west of st Louis...its sad.
I've seen the points on the driver profile screen.
I never bothered to ask the rating system.

Drop your points.
I think its if you go -15 they fire you.
Go negative they call you in for threats and training. -
I love my automatic T680. I have never had any difficulty getting up hills. I have never had any difficulty getting up pills. I don't mind at all driving 65 mph, but then I'm from Pennsylvania not Texas. Instead, however, I drive 62 or 63 mph and get points. The points are FuelOpps points. As with truckstop rewards, you can spend your FuelOpps points on merchandise or even buy a loaded credit card with it.

Mr double yellow gave a good review of fuelopps.
He was the #1 ranked driver at one point. Look it up in the forum (sorry about have to weed thru my complaining lol)
Just remember that is earned income and "supposed" to be reported on your taxes. (Though noone does it)
Fuelopps wins with a scam
Company wins with write offs
Driver gets a blender and thinks they win.
If you ever had a chance to drive one of the red 600's with a cat 13 you'd know what you are missing out on pulling hills. Those trucks were beast mode I tell ya.paul_4lp Thanks this. -
Hmm. Thought the fuel ops point system was dropped when xpo took over, when I drove for conway truckload t680 with 13 speed. Did ok on hills but don't like the single drive axel's.
paul_4lp Thanks this. -
yes those fuel opps points will put you ina higher income tax bracket..lol
CargoWahgo Thanks this. -
But in reality if the IRS really wanted to they could audit all the drivers and check what Conway paid fuelopps for.
Get em a nice small chunk in fines.
Those paid for company meals are supposed to be claimed. They ain't doing that just cause they are nice. XDfree spirited1 and paul_4lp Thank this. -
Have you heard anything about TL being sold off to another company? I worked for Menlo Logistics before and I liked the company. But if it's sold to another company, the changes may make it unattractive. -
