Where, OH, Where........

This is true. I am so glad Im not on the East Coast. Buddy of mine is in PA and said 81 is off limits right now.

 

I timed that right. I am.in.waco now. Came.out of topton, pa of 78.

Waiting to see what they want to do about my preplan. I cant pick up load until after 2200. My 14 runs out at 2245. No.sleeping at budweiser in waco. So i can.go.in around 0230 to pick up. Delivers in littlerock by 1400. I told the dm that I can make it if I can get out of budweiser by 0500-0530 at latest. No guarantee ill get out that fast. Ill let them decide. Looks like little to no sleep again. This run sux.

 

Out of hours and Chillin at the Milan, NM Petro until midnight. It looks like the paid miles to my first stop in Vancouver will be grossly off the charts wrong but I've followed the route solution without deviation and will be disputing it once I hit the dock. I wonder how much longer it'll be before FE admits that we are getting burned on this crap. Loves obviously paid someone for ranking when you are constantly getting sent out of route for fuel.

Why would you waste your drive hours and lose money by going out of route for fuel? It only takes a simple phone call to have fuel economy change your fuel stop to one that makes more sense.
The fuel solutions progam isn't any more dependable than a cheap GPS. Use your brain and figure out the best way to go.

 

Making simple phone calls defeats the purpose. If the fuel stops they give us don't make sense then why do they give them to us in the first place? If they want to micro manage they should at least know how to manage. I propose that we just submit a route of our choosing and let the company pick fuel stops based on that.

 

Take a look at how many paid miles is shown vs the actual miles. The actual route solution miles add up 2486.7 vs the 2132 paid miles that's shown. They can obviously see the red flags without being told so why do I need to make simple phone calls?

 

They are trying to tell me that it's 1936 miles from Laredo to Vancouver, WA. Can anybody tell me how that's in any way possible? How about you Frogg?

 

BTW, I got the miles adjusted to 2394. Still short but more consistent with what I'm actually seeing. The company quotes a customer shorted miles to get the business and then attempts to short the driver as a result.

 

Well, you can take the time to whine about it here. I just think it would make more sense to talk to the folks that can make the adjustments. You know as well as I do that USA pays household movers miles, basically zip to zip in a straight line. But whenever their is a big difference they usually adjust it. Since you asked I plotted it roughly as 2177 mls going town center to town center. About a 10% difference which is typical, but worth asking for an adjustment.

 

Yeah, but this wasn't even household movers miles; it was cut through Mexico miles.
