Do people still sell company fuel?

I live in Oklahoma and run thru OKC from time to time, and you're right, I haven't heard anyone selling fuel in several years. I did hear some guy selling flatbed equipment several months ago, but I didn't talk to him. Don't know if it was his or his company's.

 

Some company drivers used to sell tires also. Owner-operators would swap out their worn out tires for good ones real cheap.

 

Was rolling through indiana and as I was getting near the truck stops near indy, I listened to a guy try and sell his tire chains for 20$ a chain lol

I can't sleep either..... I might go play more gta

 

The problem is that company drivers at megas would get caught fast. The companies all use software to in almost realtime graph fuel usage from fillup to fillup over months. It's good practice because they can have people crunch that data and eek out extra fuel economy that scales over a fleet of a thousand trucks.

Questions would be asked quick if suddenly there was a -50 gallons on a trip. fuel economy. Now...guys who stockpile fuel I have heard of. I had one guy who I watched personally who used a 55 gallon drum in his sleeper and would fill it with fuel over several fuel stops. Then once he got home he would dump it and his brother would sell it there. That sort of thing works, but the days of selling a tank are long gone now that EOBR has your mileage + fuel receipts and no human needed to graph that.

 

i would think it's a little more difficult to syphon these days but still possible at a time consuming trickle..

 

The best one I've seen is when a flatbed company I worked for, had a pretty decent truck, but the engine started to fail and wouldn't last much longer. So the owner bought a brand new truck from the dealer and financed it. He took the new truck to the shop and the mechanics swapped the engines, then let the bank reposses the new truck, which now had the failing engine. He got away with it.

 

There where mesh cones in my tanks on the prostars I was driving. they where just a little deeper then the nozzles. I'm assuming to prevent just that.

 

I can't tell if that's genius or stupid


Either way it's funnier then hell lol

 

About a year or a little longer, the flatbed company filed for bankruptsy and closed the doors.
