SCHNEIDER CHOICE PROGRAM - FREEDOM AWAITS " YOU " by JAR-HEAD

Fueling load to load or day to day seems like a headache to me and not a efficient way to run.
Like if you book a load that's 1,000 miles from Texas to where ever and your fuel mileage estimate is 7 mpg your gonna need 143 gallons. But your gonna be near empty when you finish said load and might not have enough to get to the next load. So your stopping In between loads to figure out how much more to put in to get you to that load and delivered.
Is that really the most efficient way to do it?

 

You can use the Qualcom to plan your fuel stops. Schneider has a system that will tell you where and how much to fuel along the route to get the best possible prices.

 

That's awesome they offer that for ic's. I knew they had it for company drivers.

 

JH, my apologies to you. Certainly not flaming anyone. Just a gentle push back to someone who referred to me as excrement. That would seem to be more 'flammable' than my remarks. I'll play nice henceforth.

JH, The fueling strategy is all new to me.

When and how do you 'true up' your fuel purchases versus miles driven in a state? Does the variability in MPG between loads have to be accounted for?

If a regional driver always fueled in one state but drove in two or three others would he have to apply for a rebate from the state in which the fuel was purchased and simultaneously make a payment to the states he didn't buy fuel in?

Thanks, Bootsie

 

A couple of things Bootsie. Your first post with all the 3rd person references was funny, however, the novelty wore off quickly.
But, more importantly, concerning your question about Schneider keeping premium loads for company drivers. What difference would it make? They aren't passing the profits from that to the company drivers so IC is still more profitable than company driver if done right.
