To be or not to be

So to compare to other companies...you need to figgure out how much per mile the free fuel is. So, assume fuel cost 3.75. Then subtract the fuel tax since I assume you still need to pay that on your free fuel. Assuming you average .25 fuel tax then your savings are $3.50*250gallons=$875/trip. Now we need to know how long the average trip is. Take 875/average round trip to get approx pay per mile in fuel. So you get .84/mile, + Free fuel bonus + FSC. For us to tell you if this is a good deal, we need the 2 missing pieces..but it does sound pretty good.

 

I can't imagine a company giving away free fuel like that. I have a feeling what they mean when they say free fueling is that the owner does not charge you a fee for using his fuel and facilities, (no fuel markup/no flat user fee), for the use of his storage tank and fuel pump, meaning that he is charging the drivers the same price that he is paying for the fuel.

 

Please put down the crackpipe!!! You saying your employer paying 2.05 a gallon. You better dream on if you think ANYONE getting fuel for that price and selling it for 3.80. If you believe that it's obvious choice to open a fuel station instead of driving truck. LMFAO

 

The guy didn't say his employer was buying fuel for $2.05 a gallon and selling it for $3.80 He said the price AROUND there is $3.80 and his employer is selling his fuel to the O/O's for $2.05 a gal. I would think he could do that, if his brother owns the oil company..

Usually when reading these type of deals, at $.84 per mile, the company is paying for a lot of things, like plates, Ins, ifta + filing and so on.

 

My average operating FUEL cost is 0.59 cpm ytd. My average fuel cost per gal is 3.92 ytd. My ytd MPG average is 6.67 mpg. 0.84 cpm-0.59 cpm=0.25 cpm. That is ONLY fuel cost, no tires, maintenance, or repairs. I know the "discounted" fuel will raise the net in your favor, but it's way too early in the morning(04:00 here) for me to figure out how much, maybe after my next pot of coffee I'll be more help.

 

OK I'm awake now... using 6.5 for an average MPG if you paid $2.05 for ALL gallons, your FUEL costs would go down to about $0.32 cpm.
