O h don't ya love how we the drivers DID NOTGET any bouns back in May for buying so many millons of gallon at aPilot, Yet guees who got a $30.000 rebate from Pilot.
Ya i don't like the idea we lost 90% of the TA ns Petro's. Loves? We have lost alot of themas well
I guess once our more of our trucks are involed in parking lot acciedents At Pilot's maybe they will take notice ,,,,,, Problay not.
And making the Pilot in Madre,CA our nearest Primiry fuel stop to Stockton.
Oh sure we still can do Vanco, but only 50 gal, to get us to our next promary stop. This according to that new fancy fuel list.

 

50 gallon limit at the "limited" fuel stops. Primary and secondary I guess how ever many gallons you want. 8)

 

This is so true. When I was up in Mondovi a couple weeks ago I was flipping though the handy dandy accident report binder and there had to been at least half a dozen reports of our trucks getting their front end ripped off by another truck pulling out of a spot. 8)

 

hmmm,
In the last 3 months, I have picked up 3 different loads from the Stockton drop yard, that came out from West Branch, IA , Proctor and Gamble. The loads( brought west by teams) had arrived 3 days early Wal Mar would not take them early so they were dropped in Stockton. YES it does happen.
At the same time as I was in Stockton dropping my trailers, to go on days off I was given these Wal Mart loads. Drop the trailers at Walmart, then go home. (At the end of days off, go back to wal mart pick up the unloaded trailer, and head for a relaod.) On the del info it said drop and hook. I asked Mondovi if this was the truth, and they said yes, because these PG loads had so many different products, Wal mart would rather have us drop the loaded trailer , than to pay detention.
I have also brought PG loads out from West Branch, to the Wal Mart in Grantsville, UT and dropped the trailer, as well as Casa Grande, AZ.

 

Ya that fuel book idea was brought over from Knight when they hired the new presiedent. Word has it, if you don't follow the new fuel book, you can get fired.
You can fill at the primary and secondary, it's the limted fuel stops your only allowed 50 gal. Just so you can make it to a regualr fuel stop.
Makes me wonder if Randy and Timn are both sleeping witht the Pilots'
owners family.

 

yes,casa grande was purely drop and hook for me usually.However my point was,was was why would a driver have to deadhead from the sparks area back to the yard or stockton?Theres plently of freight before stockton on the way down to the ontario.But yea,I never knew of one regional driver take there truck home,they forbid it for security reasons.However,that should change given that theyre going to widen the radius on regional.

 

HAHA I wouldnt doubt it skier!

 

skier last time i was in the indy term i heard randy was seeing some chick whose family had something to do with the pilots and thats why they put out that new fuel stop sheet

 

MartenDrvrCA,
Maybe you can answer this. At the Ross Plant the older one, there in Casa Grande, why is it that when i go in for driop and hooks, they claim they have no mtys, yet sitting on in the drop lot there 5,6,7,8, mtys sitting there. And when i ask the bi-otch at the desk why my load had turned into live, when my dispatch says spot. This has happend 7 out the last 10 times in there.

 

You know what skier I asked myself this a trillion times.Along with other marten drivers who I ran into there.Usually it comes up on the qCOMM as spot,then when you get there you have to get liveloaded.And you're correct,there are PLENTY of mt's there.You get there at your APPT time and they say they really dont go by appt times.Load of BS.Usually its the older woman with all the make up on and the big hair that gives all these problems.One time I waited 9 hours to get loaded out of there,towards the end I just went there,checked in,dropped the trailer in a door then bobtailed up to exit 200? or is that 202 where the petro is?But yea,id just bob tail there and tell them to call me on my cell when they were done.Personally I preferred going to the new one over there by the PETRO.That lady is a piece of work.One time I was waiting in the dirt lot area where the trailers are,and she called my release number and she was asking for CR ENGLAND.I told her "NO THIS ISNT CR ENGLAND,THIS IS MARTEN,THAT IS MY RELEASE NUMBER FOR THIS LOAD".So she says go into door "so- and so",I do,so after about 5 hours I notice the trailer stop rocking,I go in to get the bills and so she can come out and seal me.Low and behold I look at the paper work and these MORONS STILL loaded me with the CR ENGLAND load after I told her I was marten and she had the NUMBERS mixed up.She made some bs excuses and tryed to cut me off when I reminded her about what I had told her earlier.And come to find out my trailer had already been loaded 4 hours earlier 2 doors down from me!
