    Long as you get 85% compliance on directed fuel stops you're good. My biggest complaint is often times I get fuel stops when I don't need them and never get them when I actually need fuel/DEF... Fortunately I pass by my OC everyday so it's not as much of a hassle as it could be.

    Think about a few things. How much is the fuel bonus? For me I was running about 1800 miles in a good week. So with max bonus of about 72$....I slept very comfortable for about $10 a day. Then also if you plan on staying or leaving. If you plan on leaving after your year youre not gonna see that fuel bonus anyway as it kicks in the next quarter anyway. So if your scorecard isn’t where it needs to be for this September one I wouldn’t even bother.

    I do not see a option to request a new fuel stop.

    Also, does 50 gallons keep my percentage from going down and OC from bugging me?

    Nope it’s their job to bug you as the dbls get kickbacks for you getting the bonus.
    I was doing 50 gallons cause of the pilot point promotion.
    If you haven’t already download the pilot flying j app and put your fuel card on there, you get more points for fueling by starting it in the app. 50 gallons pushes the point multiplier by .25 all the way to 4 gallons... I just checked and I still have 60$ in pilot points from over a year ago...
    Also go onto compass and link your pilot account, you get free points on your bday- anniversary.
    Did you get your free gear from the Schneider store for making it 6 months?

    In workflow, next to the update nat button.

    The reason I said to just splash the tanks when you fuel non compliant is to play games with averages.

    If you have 10 fuelings you get 1 non compliant before losing the bonus. If you have 12, you can have two non compliant and still make bonus.

    On load 1 I fuel where I'm supposed to, I'm 1/1.

    On load 2 I don't, I'm 1/2.

    On load 3 I don't have a fuel stop, so I'm still 1/2.

    On load 4 I'm compliant, 2/3.

    On load 5 I'm compliant, 3/4 for the week.

    If on load 2 I only put in 50 gallons instead of filling up I would likely have gotten a fuel stop on load three, where I would also only put in 50 gallons. By the end if the week I woild be 4/5 - or 5% points higher.

    Over time you can figure out where it's likely to tell you to fuel and can adjust how much fuel you put in so you can get "good" fuel stops.

    Also, if the routing is bad, or you need fuel for whatever reason and can't get to the designated spot, just send a quick freeform of "fuel solution on load st142 was whack, fueled at ts xyz to avoid runjing out of fuel/weight issues/hos compliance issues/whatever ". Also make a note to yourself. At the end of the quarter your dbl can roll sime of those non compliants back as long as they have documentation. Its in their interest to do so if they at all can.

    I see. Yes I got the reward.

    What about changing fuel stop. How do I do that?

    So the "Update fuel level" is how to request a new fuel stop on whichever route I change to?

    Yes, once you are on your route or past the bad fuel stop, just request another.

    They should count but you can check on compas if they did or not.
