With swift we used to be able to just send a freeform message thru the quallcomm , with city and state that ur in and they would reroute u to the nearest fuel stop... nowadays i find myself filling up tanks in the morning or night rather than in middle of the day . Much more efficient and can plan ur day better

Call your dispatcher and ask him to put some "fuel" on your card? Just let them know the low fuel light is on and ask for 50 gallons. You will probably use the last trip number.
Each company has its own quirks on this, good luck.farmerjohn64 Thanks this. -
I confused is there rule against using wrong trip number to fuel?
farmerjohn64 Thanks this. -
Thanks for the advice, I got it taken care of and ended up putting in 50 gallons like you just saidskellr Thanks this.

Yes if you don’t have a current load (load number is your trip number) and you don’t have a fuel solution or you didn’t send one over the Qualcomm, then you can’t fuel. In order to fuel with this company you need a fuel solution, need to be at the exact truck stop it tells you to go to and finally you need your trip number. Apparently in my situation where you’re just idling for the weekend with no load all you gotta do is call the fuel department and they’ll get you a trip number to use/get you 50 gallons of diesel
