You hanging in there with all the bad weather and confusion at the office.
Rumor is, we get a 50cent discount off fuel at pilot. Loves took away the discount. So it will be much cheaper to fuel at pilot if this is the case.

But as far as Loves goes one must pay their bill to keep using their station. I speculated on this before when I heard of the switched. Someone confirmed it for us.
On home front no rain for two days. Our kidding season done now. Last was a black polled did. Will have to see her go in the summer. Sky in heat so as soon as she is bred Knight will be on the road with hubby again.
Hubby got caught in some nasty weather and pulled brake. Which made him late for delivery. But all good and done now. We're in the 70s here it switched fast. I am sure we will see a day here and there of cold weather yet. Usually do when it's this warm in February. I just hope drought I sense coming this year is not too bad.
We're hanging in there. Still have to do taxes later this month. Yes I know it almost over but got doc appointments for mother in law. Since I am only one in house with DL I get to drive in-laws everywhere. That will change this year.
Truck is running OK but needs to be put back on computer as fuel mileage slipping again. It's always something. -
OMG hubby just got fuel numbers in. First off Pilot is 7 cents more a gallon but what's worse fuel milage. He was getting 5.7 to 6 mpg with Loves fuel. Now he is getting 4.6 with Pilot. How the heck is that a savings. Don't believe me Wicked do the math too or have you been using it too long?

I have a new motor, but I only just switched to Pilot exclusively. I’ll have better numbers next week

Gads of all the stupid stuff. Hubby with Eric who is over seeing shop had truck in this morning to put it on the computer. Now with no shop manager per we the so called mechanics are acting Stupid and saying "I didn't know it was to go on computer" Seriously your gonna use that excuse. Hubby is so mad it's not funny.
But on good note nice long run Southwest. Maybe that will help out some with everything on truck. He is now looking at a nother fuel card that takes the mom and pop shops. Not a bad deal lots of good reviews too. He has to send application in and we have figured how to make it work for us. So something is going right now that way. -
Cybercat Thanks this.

Hubby ran out to AZ and is now heading east to GA then home. Another in the negative red check. This is All do to the shop not doing it's work. We had to also pay for permits out west for no one would get them for hubby. That makes Zero sense. All warehouse trucks run that state at least once a year more than that too. Why are the drivers having to buy permits out of their pockets???.
Now we get news no fuel ups in GA allowed either. Come on Equity get your ducks in a row. If you don't want the GA warehouse sell it. Drivers will be forced to come north or leave. But don't penalize rest of the northern drivers.
Ten more months of this will see us bankrupt. But we have a lawyer now so getting stuff together for that. Wickedfire watch those fuel receipts. Keep track and make it count.Wickedfire77 Thanks this. -
HalpinUout Thanks this.

I was talking to her hubby about that very thing last year. The signs of being sold or going bankrupt.
1) cleaner equipment
2) replaces management positions.
3) company wide policy and paperwork changes.
We’ve seen all these happen over the last 18 months.
I’m afraid it’s going to hit us blind (but expect it)
Hopefully you keep the truck if it happens. -
Wickedfire hubby just called Pilot office. Here's the Real news. The contract is not approved with Equity for any special discount. Absolutely nothing has been approved. It is still pending so all everyone is getting is still the normal .28 cents a gallon off. Which is less than what we got a Loves. Pass it on Wickedfire.
