Ffe lease purchase question.

I don't know, but maybe they treat their drivers like mature adults, able to make their own decisions? Or the company doesn't have any deal worked with the national truck stops that requires purchasing a certain amount per month? I worked for one of each of those. I liked making my own fueling decisions.

 

Request fuel stops with your dm.

 

Why would you want someone telling you which way to go and where to fuel? Those are all basic decisions the DRIVER should be perfectly capable of making

 

Fuel is your number one expense ... how you manage it can mean thousands, yes thousands of dollars to you. Why would want to put that in someone else's hands.

 

There's an app for that.

 

Lease operators are independent contractors. If the company dictates where to get the fuel, the lease operator is a company driver.

 

I believe what the OP was asking is do they suggest for their lease drivers to buy fuel at one truckstop chain versus another, because of getting a great discount at one chain versus the other... Example; I drive for Landstar and they suggest for us to fuel at Petro / TA because we receive our greatest discount from them. Does that make me a company driver because they suggest for me to fuel there? Think long and hard about that.....
