Fuel ??

WOW! That would be a tough one! I hope they get you an answer! WOW That is not good. I'll be watching this thread.

 

I would think we will because it's based on network pricing and we're the biggest in the network now!!

 

A better thing to do would be find another company to lease to....

 

Projekt. That's a lot like finding a better truck than a f350 . At swift we get cash price swift takes the discount for the greater good of their "business partners" seriously. I am researching a few different fuel cards I want to get on my own. They seem to favor TA and ssmall mom and pops for a discount but anywhere is better than peelot

 

We get the cash price that is on the pump, but we can also fuel any where that we want, unlike the company trucks. What I am watching is what is going to happen with the pay. Keep ours or go to yours, if your web site is correct as to what you get per mile. Heard about the new FSC for you, and it does not sound good, if I understand it correct.

 

Yeah Diesel!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The real question isn't how much of a discount you get ... but how much are you actually paying for fuel?

People say they get 10, 20, 30 or more cents off of pump price. But that has absolutely no relevancy. What good is 30 cents off the pump price at the TA, when you can get it across the street for 40 cents less.

But to answer your question Swift gives no discount. But you can buy anywhere that accepts Comdata and the surcharge is only $.34 per transaction. Which begs the question. Does/did Central R have a transaction fee and how much is it? Is there a surcharge if you go off network or worse, were you limited to on network purchases only?

Average national price for #2 diesel last year was $3.92. My average price for the year was $3.72. Get the Fuel Book and Truckers Tools app for your phone.

 

Good to know there's concern on your side. Means you like what you have, I hope. Our fuel was pretty close to the same cost. The FSC was paid around $.21 for the year, all miles. But if you don't deadhead much then it doesn't really work out to benefit the driver... IMO. Our base is a little higher than yours from what I've heard tho, so they capped our pay!! Ugh, 2 years with no raise is gonna be a trial in itself.
