Designated Fuel Stops

I hear that.But unfortunately the starter drivers have to go with starter companies.

 

There should be an article about this somewhere on the forums home page.Alot of companies are sueing them.Finally found it.It has to do with unpaid fuel rebates.

 

Obviously you have missed all of the FBI investigations and the many Pilot employees that are in jail or are facing prosecution. Some trucking companies are owed millions in rebates. The owner of Pilot claims he knew nothing even though he is at every meeting and he is heard on audio tapes directing employees on how to scam trucking companies out of their rebates.

 

Fuel when I want company only asks that it be at a j or a pilot and look for the cheapest fuel

 

Fueling before I pickup is all I really care about anymore and that usually happens.

 

Anywhere I want anytime I want.

 

Is this a typo? If not, can you please explain why? Thanks.

 

No it isn't a typo. If you fuel in states where the tax on fuel is higher, you put more money into your IFTA. Which means less money that you have to pay at the end of the quarter. Or, sometimes they end up sending YOU a check.

Formula: Posted price - any fuel discount - state fuel tax = raw fuel price. Use raw fuel price to determine what you are actually paying for the fuel.

Example: Bloomington, IL Pilot: Posted price = 3.959/gal, fuel discount = .225/gal, state tax for IL = .41/gal (or there abouts)

Raw price = 3.95-.225-.41
= 3.324/gallon

If you put 100 gallons into your tanks, you put $41.00 into your IFTA "account". There's a whole bunch of other math, and if you want to see it, you'll have to wait until I'm a little bit more awake for me to do it. I'll pull our IFTA statement for last quarter and walk thru it.

 

i know many o/os that do this only fuel in high tax states unless fuel is ungodly low like in sc,ms or parts of AL
