    Lol I guess they'll have to route us out and back or make some reefer fuel revisions...

    And when they have to start paying all those extra miles to put on reefer fuel because they only want pilot Flying J maybe they'll start to look at it and that it wasn't such a great idea after all... Lol

    I know that I will now avoid all pfj for my tractor and only full reefer there. So even if I have to run 10 miles out if route to get to a loves or a independent to avoid a pfj I will. As much as I enjoy working with jct this sours my taste greatly.
     
    TAfool, drvrtech77 and CannonballAA Thank this.

    I'd say twelve cents off over priced fuel isn't that great...

    I think it is a horrible idea. It makes jct more money and at the expense of the driver. It seems like something swift would do. Hell I don't even think swift does anything like that. I will now only fill reefer there and drive my tractor to anywhere else.

    Makes me think JCT must be in bed with Loves. What better way to ensure drivers will never fuel trucks at pfj. lol
    In the end everybody's like a kid. Reverse psychology works.

    Was just informed that the reason this program is in place is because supposedly Loves wouldn't come up with a deal. Now I find that hard to believe since they are GIVING away 10 points now. It sounds more like Loves wouldn't give what JCT was asking for to keep their same cut and be able to pass on a decent rebate to the drivers.
    In other words, JCT wasn't willing to give up a few pennies of their own rebate.
