    Ta's and petro is usually only a few cents more and much much faster to get in and out. Plus bigger better designed parking lots and not on the approved fueling locations of the big box training companies so a lot less chance of having your good ripped off. Keeping my hood on my trick is definately with 2 or 3 cents per gallon. And then add in that loves has a high bio content so you get less mpgs on their fuel. Bio free fuel might actually be at the top of my list when choosing where to fuel. The difference between straight diesel and 20%bio has got to be worth 10 cpg. The only one bio fuel benefits is the subsidized soybean commercial farms. That stuff is just no where near as good as straight diesel. Especially in the colder months.

    What a frustrating day. Mercer agent had my load down as 1 pick 1 drop. Get to the drop which is a job site they tell me only 1 piece gets taken off here the rest goes to a jobsite 1 hour away which is the opposite direction of my reload which is 70 miles away... According to them they told Mercer this when the load was booked, the guy even told me the Agents name which is who I called to see what the neck was going on??? She claims she wasn't told this?.... I don't know who to believe... I had 2 reloads planned thus week and had to give up the best one because of this making me unable to pick up my 1st reload today, which got rescheduled 4 tomorrow... Ended up getting $180 for the second stop but certainly didn't compensate me in any form considering the revenue I was making on the load I lost.... Guess you can't win them All.... This was the Tulsa Agent for inquiring minds... Believe this was my first load with them.

    Stuff happens. I wouldn't hold it against the agent unless it repeats.

    I usually do my most of my repairs , but in this case it was the original bottom fan and it was working but had resistance as it would blow a fuse often.

    The dead short was kicking the HVAC breaker and plugging shorepower would kick the power source breaker.

    I was in okie city and just let them do the fan while I was there.

    Vanguard in Atlanta prices are better than most.
