    When I was in Hawaii he was getting fuel delivered to the bulk tank for 3.20 or so. If we had to go to a cardlock it was around 3.80. And the poor guys without a bulk tank or access to a cardlock were paying about 4.70 at the pump.

    A guy I used to drive for (small company) buys bulk fuel, and He would sell me fuel on the honor system, along with a couple of his brothers and a few other oo's. We would just fuel and write down our gallons and saved 30 cents or so over pump price, but like always truckers can screw up a wet dream, it wasn't long before fuel started coming up short and some forgot they were suppose to pay for it.
    It sucked, because I could fuel 24/7 there.

    Yea, that place is closed down,which kind of sucks, even though I have no need to buy fuel there.
    I never cared for fast freddies, but a lot of alcan drivers liked it, so I ate there now and then. There used to be a place at the cutoff called grumpys, it was Drakes the head honcho dot at the scale, wife owned it, she put out some good eats. Plus Bill hung out there when he wasn't on duty and we could give him hell.

    Her health went south and she passed, he retired and drives a truck, last I knew. Gave truckers hell for years, now he is one. lol

    So sign up for your own fuel card and pay it out of your checking account weekly. It’s not rocket science.
