Swift fuel network? Which truck stops do they use?

What chains of truck stops does swift use?

 

Whatever chain you're told to use by your driver leader, or whatever they're called now. When I was with Swift it was Love's and TA/Petro.

 

Loves, petro, and t/a are most common.
We do pilot/flying j accassionally.

 

Is there like a network book, or all petros etc?

 

Don't understand?
Swift sends the fuel route when you get dispatched.
As a company driver, we don't choose what fuel stop to go
Sometimes, swift sends you to a fuel stop that's pretty close to your final. In that case I would skip the fuel stop and wait till I got loaded. Just make sure you don't run out of fuel

 

I usually skip the fuel stops at terminals if I have enough to get somewhere down the road. No shower credit or points. Swift frowns on that but...

But last time it bit me. (Last night)
I was supposed to fuel at the Denver terminal but I didn't want to take the time to make my way in and out. There is often a train or two that delays things. So I headed to the TA in Limon.
But as it was a weekend, response was a bit slow. I sat for nearly an hour just waiting to get through on the phone to my terminal. Never happened. I had even tried a couple other terminals, but no one answered the phone. So I shut down there for the night, about 120 miles shy of where I had planned to shut down.
I am still able to make my delivery window though, so no worries for me.

 

What do you mean you have to call to fuel ?

 

Wait a sec.. Dispatch not only tells you where load and unload but exactly where to fuel??? Yeah forget that BS... I am ok with "We fuel at XXXX chain"... But not being told exactly which location to fuel at... I plan my fueling around my day... Not plan my day around my fueling.

 

So they tell the drivers where to fuel, big deal.
They have a good fuel program that finds the cheapest price and it saves them millions each year.
.
A lot of owner ops on here use a fuel program to save money

 

So you get an assigned fuel stop in your trip plan? If I understood correctly
