It tells you where to fuel, name of place, where it's etc... And if to fill or get X amount of gallons. It's really not that bad. On occasion if time is short for whatever reason, I've skipped a fuel stop, usually let fm know what plans are. For the most part it's ok. Big reason for fuel stops etc, most of it has to do with taxes.
Any Questions about Roehl??

The places they want you to fuel are in the fuel/routing plan. The only fuel stops in the plan are the ones they want you to fuel at; i.e. you stop at each fuel stop in the plan and either fill up if specified, or take on the number of gallons specified. Sometimes they have you put in just 51 gallons or so, just to get you to the next stop that has a better price for example. So yes it is all decided by dispatch (actually the computer software that generates the fuel/routing plan). They have it all optimized very well, and if you find yourself running low on fuel due to strong headwinds, etc. you can always request an updated fuel/routing plan by sending in a macro on the QC.

As far as the actual time behind the wheel with a trainer, are these trainers assigned to the fleet you are destined for? My plans are in the inter-modal fleet, so will my trainer be from this fleet and will we be in and out of the rail yards during the training? Any and all information you experienced drivers can contribute is greatly appreciated! Curious minds need to know

Back in 2009 I trained with a flatbed but was going into the reefer division. I'm not sure how much different it is currently, but you start learning the nuances of your particular division pretty fast once you are cut loose and sent out on your own.
My first solo load had to be relayed in Gary because I didn't calculate the time change from central to eastern. Then I sat for a while waiting for a load. I started figuring things out the hard way pretty fast when there was no longer a trainer to remind me.
