    if me or 5 other drivers find fuel cheaper then 6 cents off the cash price at the pilot or flying j then we can fuel up there but were in a pilot program they want to see how much they can save first before they let the rest of the company do it because some drivers will be like ehhhh i like petros better so i will always buy there instead or mr. fuel even though its more expenisve i dont get really get the whole point of it especially with those problems but all i know is i can fuel up anywhere i want as long as it is cheaper

    As I am dedicated. I do fill out my logs & every transaction with honesty & accuracy. no reason not too. I was not only referring to my co. but co's in general. use a card & co's track & sell that info to to others. SOLICITING. they e-mail, call you, any way they can. once they learn what you buy, what you need ,you get all kind of offers. telemarketers get info from any transaction you make, if they can.

    Not yet. I have two options

    Option 1- buy a sleeper truck and lease onto the independent I befriended an hour from my house

    Option 2- ill stay at my current job, buy a day cab, and make the day cab my daily driver.


    I'm leaning toward option 2 since my new job isn't so bad. Ill just buy a day cab and register it as an RV

    Youve got to be careful running out of your way to get cheap fuel it may not always pay when you figure extra fuel getting there and coming back.

    not to mention and now this isnt always the case but lower quality fuel meaning lower mpgs or fuel filters that need to be changed more often it all adds up
