Hi can someone help me understand fuel route

My advice would be to look at an atlas and map it yourself to see what is along your route

 

Do you have full tanks of fuel?

I-75 and GA 20 West. Link shows GA 20 in red going southeast to north and around atlanta to the west up 75 to get there.

Georgia State Route 20 - Wikipedia

GA 20 west turns into People's valley road NW which serves a large Railhead Trinity Industrial Park which ALSO has a Americold Facility there is also a Ameristeel mill up there against 75 more or less.

Basically Cartersville. There are 4 to 5 truckstops in the area.

TA comes to mind as does a pilot up there on 75 in Cartersville.

As far as I am concerned.. you carry 300 gallons of fuel and you can run about Georgia all week doing these 5 stops locally.

Just remember to fuel up either Petro bankhead west of Atlanta on 285, avoid downtown atlanta at all costs and there is a bad fallen bridge in the area as well.

When you finish bouncing around that part of Georgia and get dispatched to Phoenix or something, fuel her up but good before you leave town.

 

Well, there is a Petro at the bankhead on west side of 285 beltway in atlanta. That one is a little bit predators and parasites, do not allow anyone to spin a sob story taking up your time at the fuel line how they got ripped off trying to lump some freight or other. Their problems and schemes for scamming is literally not your problem in life, Don't allow it to be.

Cartersville is rather plentiful in fuel. Loves, TA, pilot etc. It would make a good base until you get to the south west of Atlanta for your last stop or two. So I don't see fuel as a problem. You can probably buy a stack of subway subs a foot long and eat on that a couple of days. that takes care of your food problem while you run around making stops.

Im betting you are either flat or reefer most likely.

I hope things work out for you. write back any time with any more questions. We are here to help.

 

Fill your reefer where possible. Especially if Americold gets you stuck there a couple of days waiting.

Don't forget to have some means of getting some of your tractor fuel tank into feeding that reefer tank. It's a little bit less of dam if you do and dam if you don't versus running out of reefer fuel.

 

There are no fuel stops specified on that route. If your company normally tells you where you have to fuel then this fuel route is probably assuming you already have enough fuel on board to run the route.

 

Certainly.

However I paid for not having enough fuel a time or two in blood, tears and losses.

Because of that I fuel daily. Sometimes twice a day. Fuel = Life. Your next load will require you to have fuel pretty quick. It will be good to have almost full tanks when dispatch tires of playing with you around Atlanta.
