You guys already have opti idle's starting and stopping all night long instead of APU's. You guys already have forced fuel solutions instead of being able to fuel anywhere within network.

I would say you company drivers already do more than enough to save Crete Carrier Corp money but hey, if you don't think you're doing enough as a company driver who is paid by the mile and away from home for weeks to months at a time while pulling 70 hour work weeks, feel free to go above and beyond to work for free by comparing fuel prices in your spare time to save Crete some money so the CEO's and upper management can get some bigger bonuses. I know on your death bed you'll thank yourself for using your time on this planet to do so.

It's hotter here in Ontario than it was coming thru Baker, CA today. (It was raining in Baker). And this customer's lot is T-I-G-H-T. I am in dock 3 and there is a ramp past dock 1, then a wall with a dumpster View attachment 567846
And this is how close we are to the fence when backed in at the dock

And this is the view from the fence

It looks further away than it really is. I had to use backing skills I haven't used since my Silver Eagle days...and I was in a cabover back then

I get flashbacks of Ralph’s in Compton looking at this.

The pickup and delivery both went way better than the average reviews. I was empty 20 min before my appointment. The next load was preloaded and ready when I got there, which put me right in afternoon rush hour. Got to Barstow (where my assigned high dollar fuel stop was). Put 64 gal in, parked and ate my meatloaf and mashed potatoes and called it a night.

I have a question....what year trailer does California require the Carb certification sticker? Neither the trailer I dropped or the one I picked up had the new little sticker on them (both are 839### trailers).

I can't speak for the other guy. But if I'm needing fuel, one stop is $4.49, and across the street it's $3.99, guess where I'm going. And if that one second it took me to decide that, and the extra minute it took to get there is counted against me somehow on my deathbed, so be it.

I’m pretty certain that the fuel price is that these big carriers are getting are nowhere near was posted on the side… Probably close to a dollar a gallon off depending on how many gallons they negotiate to purchase a month what not…

I just go to whatever is most convenient for me. This company has plenty of money. If I dropped dead tomorrow they would put another body in this seat as soon as possible, so why should I do them any favors?
