    Call dispatch about the fuel usually takes five minutes for it to work.

    You can go 700 miles easy with half tanks, more than enough to get anywhere in GA. Go get loaded and worry about filling up after.

    If for some bizarre reason you can't get fuel, the company will repower the load but at least you will have put some paid miles under you.

    I have a KW and when it gets to half it drops like a rock. I fill up at half.

    Thought he had a Volvo with 150gal tanks?. Either way there is no way I am missing out on miles if I have half tanks to run with.

    Yeah, I am greedy like that.:biggrin_2553:

    Dropped my empty at the produce center in Colton then promptly got a load assignment. Bobtail 11 miles to San Bernrdino at 7pm for a two stopper Friday in Miami. I'll be home for the night Thursday night.

    I generally do not post on here as I am not an Abilene driver but I do read this thread everyday and I find it interesting and enjoyable. But you and someone else who is fairly new to the company whine about everything. If you are not happy then find another place or career to go to.

    It seems that you bring a lot of this on your self.

    Was replying to KD5AXG about quitting

    Well, shifting gears, I made it to Indiana today. I know, not that far but load delivers Thursday morning in Colorado. I have plenty of time. I hope all is well with everyone
