Routing help

Man those roads are all driven all the time with heavy loads. It's just mountain driving. You'll have grades almost anywhere you go out west here. I-17 is "interesting." Haven't been over it several years, but it is ALWAYS under construction somewhere between Flagstaff and Phoenix.

 

MMM, I stick my tongue on the valve stems. Put the caps back on. Look at the brakes, lines, lights, and thank God I don't work inside a building/

 

It still is now they are doing or re doing some of the bridges up North of Phoenix.

 

I never said I-40! 80 meets US 40 in Park City Utah. Guess what It doesn't have to make sense. That's the way I'd go.

 

Someone must get paid hub miles.lol

 

Ok....Why?

 

QUALCOMM, the early days. Sure I will follow that route. Oh wait a minute, you owe me 4,000 for the stacks I just tore off. Sorry about your trailer, the bridge was only 11'2". Nice road tho. Thanks to me I knew about the bridge. I saved you 10,000.00. I'll take 5000.00. When a machine is better than a driver, you let me know.

 

Thats the main reason I havent gone with another company, I HATE forced routing. What a stupid concept. They say it saves fuel just like fuel stops do... but both cost more. I explained to my FM once that it takes $20 less fuel to do a 10% longer route on the interstate, and that taking that route allowed me to buy fuel in a rural area and save an additional $20 a day in fuel. He didnt respond, just kept giving me the same route haha.

 

And of course you were taking the fleet's fuel discount into consideration when you made these calculations.
Fleets have forced routing and designated fuel stops because they typically hire from the bottom of the gene pool! Window licking, short bus riding, steering wheel holders that need their collective hands held. Don't like it>don't work for big fleets that have all those rules and control.
