    It would definitely shorten my time here. I have a non summer idle rate of 6% and mostly follow some ridiculous fuel solutions. I wasn’t here when they first turned down to 62 but I expect people left over it. Passing the rise in fuel costs onto the driver in this market would not be a smart move.

    But the propaganda message would be, "we're doing it to stay profitable so you get a bigger contribution to your retirement"

    Don't know what update they pushed but my speed still 68 and no nav software. Most of been some other type of update that couldn't be done over the air.

    Tried to idle it yet? Maybe they are pushing the ECO mode even further into the drag-arse zone.

    Drop to 65 foot /66 cruise and give us a .02 bump across the board (2 cents over 2mph) and fix the otr national company ad stating crete side basically pays the exact same as wet... .64 to .70 range with same top annual pay that's bs... so if you get in with 1 year with crete or puffin it's. 64? How's that's work somethings not right here you don't start at .67 or do you? I started at .64 and am at .67 with the surge will be .68 in October if they don't fully replace the surge in june... Shaffer should be a nickle over the dry side for all the extra work, reefer responsibility and washouts...

    Any having long delays to get fuel solutions?

    Since update every load plan that came in would not include routing or fuel msg and usually a few hours later they will randomly come in.

    Wonder if it is just me or others having similar issues.

    Same here as well…i do know that the fuel routing system wasn’t turned back on for several hours after they put system back online..so im guessing that could be the issue at least on the surface maybe something else we don’t know…it even changed my fuel solution when i was parked as well .

    Deadheaded 225 miles to Stuarts Draft to pick up a 715 mile Edwardsville load. But, the stupid fuel solution has me doing the 60 gal hop until the final stop which is a fill, but instead of Pontoon Beach like normal, it has me filling at E. St. Louis...that's OOR!!!!! Hey Commadore-64... we're suppose to be reducing out of route miles, not increasing them. Any time I deliver to Edwardsville, it has me fill at the J in Pontoon Beach.

    I need someone to show me where the rocket booster button and the time machine activation switch is on these Junk-liners. Sent in my load call with the PTA of 2/23 0600. 20 min later I get a preplan that picks up out of the same warehouse, tomorrow (2/22/22) that has to deliver 390 miles away, by 0900 on 2/23...390 miles in 3 hours..."hello, is this Space-X?, could you make a delivery for me?"

    You know what makes me laugh reading this is that you work for one of America’s biggest trucking firms, surely they can hire some externs or capitalize a project to improve their route planning - obviously it needs some attention lol.
