9+ MPG Class 8 5 Axel Trucks with Trailers

It's not based on a set discount or percentage from pump price. We have a deal with Pilot/Flying J. They are setup on a cost plus basis. Fleets pay their "cost" plus a specified cent/gal rate.

 

I am driving a twin screw scania r620 currently, the company also operates r620 tag axles and the fuel difference averages over 1mpg in the tags favour, both tag axles have supersingle tyres on the rear , traction is excellent too, better than the twin screws on ice but not as good on soft ground

 

My father-in-law used to add ATF to his fuel and swore it kept the injectors and pump more efficient.

 

Still remember a few years back a carrier was being interviewed on one of the radio trucking shows. He flat out stated that they buy fuel from who plays ball with them & then directs the owner/lease operators to only their stations/chains.

The best offer I get with one truck is a whole $10 back on my rewards card with 500 gallon monthly purchase. Yeah, I am "winning" on that one.

 

Do your companies not allow you to purchase through their programs with the truck stops? All of our owner operators have the choice to take part in our program w/ pilot/ fj to get our fleet pricing.

 

I am on my own in that regard with my own authority. Thanks Dice1, was always curious if NASTC was worth the $250 & if the fuel discounts actually benefited a single truck operation.
