Yes, I can understand that, but helping me does not necessarily need to include insulting me.
I have stated that the fuel price per gallon is something I did not have immediate access to.
I have stated that I will be checking today (Monday) to see if/how I can get access to that data. Crete certainly maintains it somewhere, or they would not be able to process IFTA.
Failing that, I can simply start keeping receipts for a week to compare receipts to settlement fuel charges.
I do know what my fuel costs are. I do not need to know the price per gallon of every purchase to know the cost of fuel per mile I drive, on average.
Would that information be useful? Yes, I agree it would. I should be questioning the fuel discount that I have been told about by Crete. I should be verifying it.
I will be doing so today, like I have said a couple times already.
Taking the plunge. My journey as an O/O.

A lot of folks who venture into the owner operator field don't think or run it like a business.
I put up a pretty detailed line item list to demonstrate a lot of the costs associated with running a business. One lease operator told me I was "fear mongering."
However, if you don't run your one man operation like a business, you're most often just buying yourself a job without the benefits, at best. At worst, by assuming 100% of the liability, it can be disastrous.Broke Down 69, Farmerbob1, Midwest Trucker and 1 other person Thank this. -
Iam new myself but one of the biggest red flags i see is the word GUARANTEE, i dont care what a company says but no one can guarantee 3000 miles a week. To many variables too base on that.
I know you are on a dedicated route, but how long till they rip it from you and put company trucks on it. I seen companies do that too lps especially when the contract rates go up. Why give you the money when thats more they can collectfordconvert Thanks this.
