    The system acts like I haven't done my load call, but I have. I am now at the Pilot on 95 just south of 26. I re-requested a fuel solution and it has me partial fueling at the 190 in SC, then partial filling at Jessup then filling at the Love's at the 190 again...and the routing has me going back to Mechanicsburg, then down the same route back to where I am at....this is truely the most screwed up the system has ever been.

    I messaged dispatch to make sure the system got my loaded message. They say it did, they even tried to give me a new solution with a specific city. It gave me a partial in Brunswick, then back up to SC, then MD and back to SC. And one is a fill which we aren't supposed to bypass. I'll put the recommended amout in GA, then talk to Deland on Monday and let them know that there was an issue so I don't get dinged on my compliance...like I care...the way it's going I won't be here at the end of the next quarter...so who cares about the bonus.

    Id fill up at the 1st fuel "solution", then send a fuel "request" at 1/2 a tank. I worked for Roehl in the past and told them when I started I would not do multi fuel stops. Worked there over 7 years, if I heard from my dispatcher about fuel purchases I told him/her that was an agreement on my hiring. I delivered on time, presented myself in a posivitive manner to the customer. Always got my bonuses. If they paid stop pay and hourly pay to fuel Id fuel 20 times a day.

    At Roehl, would fueling off solution cost you $12-1500 per quarter? Part of our quarterly safety and performance bonus is fuel solution compliance. Over the amount by a certain percentage on partial fills, or skipping full fills gets you a non-compliance ding. If, for some stupid reason, I stay thru June, being out of compliance might cost me $.04/mi for the entire quarter. And there is only one fuel stop on the solution that is on the route between me and the delivery. The rest are on the route the computer is thinking I have to go to get back to the start of the trip for some reason.

    Has anyone else been getting fuel solutions that avoid Flying Pilot? I have been getting Love's and T/A-Petro fuel stops all week. Not sure what the company's discount off the pump price is, but in Hebron OH the other day, they had me fuel at the T/A where the pump price was $0.10/gal higher than the Pilot across the interstate...they must be getting a huge discount at T/A right now.
     
    Bumper Thanks this.

    Last month, I was at 4 points per gallon by mid month at the Flying Peelot. The last time I was at one was April 1st and it was an f'g fill at the F'g J in Effingham, F'g IL.

    I didn't even know that this was a thing. When I drove local I refueled at the yard and now that I'm otr I refuel wherever I feel like. Working extra unpaid hours just to save the company money would be a deal breaker for me.
