Running with JCT, Part Deux

The Mr. Fuel I topped off at in Missouri was straight No. 2 diesel. Now in at the TA just east of Greensboro, NC (845 miles) and only used half a tank. That's with all the hills along 40 and grossing 73,500lbs.

 

quick question-- if the oil change interval is 50,000 miles do you guys change your fuel filters sooner than that, say a couple of midtrip fuel filter changes?

 

Made it all the way to Greensboro, NC. Did my post trip only to find another tire starting to separate. At least I have time to get it fixed before delivery tomorrow morning. This will be the fourth tire replaced on this trailer.

 

I just assumed that was a given.....maybe not. LOL

 

Nope. The interval on less than it used to be. It was 60k for Davco filter ad's 120k for the engine mounted fuel filters. Now it's 50k for all of them.
Don't spend extra money and do pm stuff b4 it's due, unless your habe an obvious problem.

 

@MachoCyclone
Spoke to Daryl Christner yesterday. He told me that as of right now, we won't be getting the rebate from Mr Fuel.

PFJ bought them, started implementing PFJ stuff inside the store with the kiosk and what not, but the fuel deal won't kick in until around the beginning of November.
Apparently the owner of Mr Fuel chain wanted to sell and retire but he died during the transition phase so things got being a bit. That sux for him tho.....didn't Get a chance to enjoy his retirement.

This is one of the reasons their fuel pricing and DEF pricing is so out of whack from the PFJ in the area.

Regardless, I get paid on those trips I bought Mr Fuel fuel 2moro and we'll see for sure then.

Hope that answers your question

 

Thanks @Steel Tiger. I only mentioned the red dye Fuel because you know there would have some dummy that got caught with red dye fuel and and then try to blame you for it.

Getting the fuel from Mr. Fuel was still worth it in my book.

 

Will be doing a swap with another driver tomorrow. Hopefully the trailer is in good shape. Don't want to have to replace 4 more tires.

 

Wow this is the fastest ive been offloaded. From hitting the dock to empty maby 10 min full trailer. Stater bros. In san Bernardino. Granted still waiting on paperwork. Took longer to get in the gate than it did for them to unload. Last time i was here they took about 3 hours. Guess things have either changed or i got lucky

 

And done total time from when i got in line at gate to empty with paperwork 45 min.
