I do believe that if your a good performer and your in good standings with your dbl they can pull strings. I started off in an 06' Century, couple months later that was called in for trade and I got an 07' Century, couple months later that was called in for trade and I got an 09' Cascadia. A week after I got the 09' Cascadia my dbl called me up and said she just got the keys to a brand new 13' Cascadia and said it was mine if I wanted it.... and I did. 82,000 miles later, im still behind the wheel of it.

 

Well I just got my bonus score card down from 50 up to 82 just in several weeks?! Whats killing me.....fuel stops. grrrrrrrr. Only the last couple weeks I've been trying to stop at fuel stops just to say I stopped there. I fuel up usually after scales to keep my weight down but does that go against my fuel stop score?

 

Yes it does. Missing one of your planned stops along with fueling elsewhere are both points against you. They are really going too far with it. Sometimes you can't use their stops, other times they are on a different longer route than you are taking.

 

Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous. Smh, oh well, whatever lol I guess you can say I will "try" to fuel at the required stops. In all honesty I could care less. I'm just trying to get my score up, making bonus, I don't care. Lol same thing goes with the idle.....if I need to idle I will. No point of freezing to death if I can turn on the truck and it can stay on.

 

That's why I like the way they do it where I work now. I can fuel when ever and where ever I want. They would prefer if we use Pilots/Flying Js, but they have a list of other authorized stops as well.

We also can route ourselves however we want. They would like us to keep it within 10% OOR.

I can also idle all I want. I don't have to idle though because the trucks have inverters, and Aux A/C and Heat that runs off a second set of batteries.

 

I cant believe that they keep any of the Century class trucks out there. The headlight situation with them is dangerous. I believe I would have had better headlights if I had duct taped flashlights onto my grill.

 

And when it says only put 50 gallons do it. They ding you for that also

What headlight situation? They do what it was designed to do. Those trucks have been around since the ninetys.

Can someone help me understand my out of route score? I've followed every route yet my actual score is a 127? My attain % is -6158? What does this mean?

 

Nice!!!!! You beat me lol it's basically filling the route given by the GPS when you select each stop on dispatch page in the navigation tab. Follow that route, your good to go. But use common sense, if it's friggn snowing and you see that the GPS is leading you into the storm before you leave, be smart, plan a route around it lol it will put down your out of route score but safety over stats is my saying. I rather drive an extra 4 to 5 hours to make the delivery instead of being stuck for hours or days in a fudge up snow mess.
