    My current trip might be 100% out of route.

    I contacted my DM for permission to take the alternate route, which he gave.
    But I never received a new fuel route via QC, he just said to use my route.

    Still, I have not had out of route miles mentioned for at least 6 months. And I have sometimes been out a lot.

    I didn't even know they keep track by percentage. I never see any of these reports or statistics of any type. I"m guessing I can get them from my DM. I"ll have to ask.

    I went 2 miles, each way, out of route the other day near Phoenix because I was bored sitting at Walmart. Bobtailed to get a tattoo.

    4 miles they wont even say anything, yeah you can ask your DM for your scorecard which will tell you your mpg avg, load acceptance rate, out of route, csa points, idle percentage etc. Would be nice if they would allow us to see our own cards on the portal.
