Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

I have, but like some have posted over on their thread, the math doesn't add up...at the rate per mile they pay, you'd have to run 15,000 miles a month to make acceptable money. I like running hard, but I want it to be for a better paycheck, not just for the fun of it.

 

The fuel solution system is totally insane. My AM changed this load in the system from a T-call in Phoenix back to a delivery in Romeoville. But that change only took place in the system, the co-pilot on my truck tablet still showed it as part of my route. I even had to request a fuel solution when I picked the load up so I could see where it wanted me to fuel. However, it added all my fuel stops to the list before the t-call back in Phoenix, and my final fuel stop was Higginsville, MO. Normally this wouldn't be a problem except, it wanted me to go 35 out of Wichita up to KC then across 70 all the way to St. Louis, then up 55. Running the numbers, that added a lot of unpaid miles. I routed myself up 35, around KC to Cameron, MO, then across US 36/I-72 to Springfield IL then up 55. My route was 30+ miles shorter than the load info's miles, and way shorter than the route I would have had to take following the co-pilot, even with me going back to the terminal after unloading in Goodyear(because it took until 21:00, and there wasn't a snowballs chance there would be any parking around Phoenix. ) It was way shorter my way, plus way less traffic. The problem came when I went to get a new solution. Since it thought I still needed to t-call in Phoenix, all my new fuel stops were west of me by a lot. I finally just sent in the t-call and cleared it out, then said I stopped at Higginsville. Now I am in Jacksonville IL, headed east and my new solution wants me to go to Kingdom City, put in 60 gal, then go all the way back to Higginsville to fill up, then head back thru St. Louis up to Romeoville. I know fuel is high and going up, but ####...

 

When I was at SPD we could use the WEX app, the discounts varied from location to location, even within the same state. Some of the fuel solutions here at Creaffer will occasionally send us to underperforming locations, usually those teenie tiny Pilots.

 

And for those who come on here just to rag on me and critique my every post (some graphic lyrics, possibly offensive to some)...this not aimed at those who offer genuine info in an attempt to help, it's for those who only say something when I am on one of my rant-fest posts and say nothing when I have something positive to post.
