Lonestar Transportation drivers.. Check in!

Thank you sir.

Just to tag onto DieselDog's post. They want us to mainly use the large 5; Petro, T/A, Flying J, Pilot and Love's, but if we're in an area where none of those are available, our cards won't typically get denied. The company has specifically forbid us from getting fuel at the Denton T/A. Not sure why. I've heard stories, but nothing that made sense.

 

I was told the Denton TA doesn't give us discounts or something of that nature. Or it's privately owned and the system doesn't accept our cards unless we call and get authorization. Doesn't make much sense to me either

 

It's $10 for three chicken soft tacos at the taco bell in that TA. That place is a scam.

 

Does lonestar utilize ezpass for tolls?

 

Nope, no ez pass or pre pass.

Tolls are paid out of pocket then reimbursed. I have begun avoiding toll roads when I can. Went from Kansas City, MO to Topeka, KS last night on us24. I don't have but $40 to last me until next paycheck. So I'm saving what I can and avoiding taking any cash advances.

 

Also when going to the north east, especially New Jersey I advise you take at least $100 in cash for the tolls, as they are expensive for big trucks.

 

They still keeping you busy?

 

Yeah, I've had nothing but 1200-1800 mile runs since i came out of the house. I'll be heading back home later this month. I wanna be home for the beginning of november

 

What kind of miles are you avg right now per week being this is typically slow season for flat?
