If my company ever tells me what route to take to get where I'm going, or what specific station to fill how much that'll be the micromanagement. They may suggest a route in the local area due to experience, but it's no demand.
Please Define "Micromanage" in trucking.

People stress way too much over a few seconds or minutes lost in a day. If you can not plan your time to account for those tiny delays then you are not planning very well.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
Swift no longer sends an actual route, only fuel stops.
If there is not an assigned fuel stop on the best route I can find, I call in when I am ready to fuel and tell them that the fuel stop was not actually on my route.
Sometimes I will use my RM to route me to the fuel stop and then figure out how far it is to my destination. Sometimes it is basically the same in distance and time so I will use it, and if not I will go the better route.
All this fuss about assigned fuel stops, when it really isn't that bad. -
To be fair I save $1.10 / gallon so am I in the wrong for wanting to save that ?D.Tibbitt and Moosetek13 Thank this. -

Whats the average time it takes to get thru a pilot or loves these days? (I am assuming these huge companies are sending you here for fuel - correct me if I am wrong).
-
And since I prefer Love's showers I usually fuel there.
If the line is too long and I have enough fuel to make it farther, I'll head up the road and call in for another fuel stop. -
