Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

It's not the fuel solution for the truck I have issues with. It's the locking us out of any fuel stop to top off the reefer I am concerned with. I am 100% on my fuel compliance since I came back last Oct. But, with the amount of drop/hook loads we do here, I am just concerned that if High Command locks out our fuel cards for all fueling outside our designated fuel solution stops, even for reefer fuel...how many drivers are gonna go thru the hassle of calling in just to fuel the reefer before dropping. I am not saying that's what they are doing when they switch, they haven't said yet... currently we can buy reefer or DEF any time, without asking, at any of the 3 franchise fuel chains...but if they change that it's just gonna cause more problems than it solves. And the message from Deland about this came a day or two after we got a message about some new way of being dispatched starting Monday. I wish they'd leave things alone with this technology...the last Peoplenet update slowed my unit down dramatically. Now, since they got the Drivewyze app data collection working on my unit, my box freezes intermittently, completely locks, completely loses cell service at random or just plain goes even slower than before.

 

So, when it was time to go home, you parked your truck and drove 900 miles, then when it was time to go back on the road you drove 900 miles back. There isn't a job in the world worth that.

 

I wouldn't walk across the street to work for Fud-wrecks...besides, I'm not qualified to work there...I haven't jack-knifed a truck, rear-ended a line of stopped traffic, ran anyone off the road or ignored chain laws then spun out on a hill, blocking both lanes...If I wanted to work there I guess I would have to train with a 10-Roads mail contractor for a while to get the handle on this whole wreckless driver ability.
