Running with JCT, Part Deux

Also they don't specifically tell us where to fuel the trailers. I can choose any Flying J or Pilot between here and wherever I'm going.

And in certain places where there's no Flying J's nearby like Los Angeles there's other truck stops that are authorized to fuel the reefers at.

They kind of want to make it where if I'm fueling the reefer here I might as well fueled the truck here as well. Generating more Pilot Flying J volume. I honestly just fueled the reefer and bought DeF at the pilot in Tolleson but bought my fuel across the street for the tractor. $0.05 more after pfj rebate but only 5% biofuel so I should come out ahead on fuel efficiency.

 

Is there a site or app you guys use for fuel prices? I used to use a site before called fuel finder or something like that but last I checked it wasn't being updated anymore

 

Fuelbook and Trucker Tools ...

 

I use EFS card control for fuel pricing now... The fuel map is pretty awesome and since the prices are coming from EFS they are probably just a little more accurate...

 

Thanks

 

One thing i noticed is that it between the EFS app and the EFS website, is that sometimes one will show a fuel stop and another won't.

But between those 2, you can find the cheapest fuel along your route. Just remember to subtract 15 cents from the listed PFJ prices.

 

I just want to say thanks to the driver that dropped trailer 5985 in the Houston Drop Yard. Thanks for dropping a trailer with a quarter tank of fuel and very dirty. Now I have to waste my time doing the job you were suppose to do before I can go get loaded.

 

... We have a Houston drop yard?

 

Yes. For empties only. But you can overnight park if need.

 

@Kamkor, from 610 east, exit 24 (exit for Loves, Blue Beacon, and Pilot) go straight through light. Turn left at next light (Wallisville Rd ). Turn right at the first stop light. Go to very end of the road. It's a container yard. Very rough and all dirt. Usually pretty full with mostly Stevens trucks.
