This was about the time Don Hinson 'vansihed' ie: qiut in Novemeber.

 

Why even bother TK? Its not like that a$$ greg van pelt in fuel doesnt change the fuel list every other week. :lol:

 

damn it feels good being right. :lol:

 

Yep,from 27% of all loads,to 20% of loads under 100 miles and anything above you get CPM.such a shame..really was....

 

Ain't that the truth! :roll: Slowly taking off all fuel stops, but the Pilot and Love's. :evil:

 

Yea,,makes things so hard to keep up with it when he is taking off like 30 fuel stops at a time.And its not like they display your fuel stops on the qualcomm,gotta sift through the packet and make the updates to it almost every week.Im glad I made the transition out of the company when I did,marten afforded me to buy alot of things,but I outgrew the company and its direction,I wish you the best in your move wildK9 and I can almost assure you that you wont regret it.

 

I don't know how long you've been gone but apparently they did away with the regular fuel list and we know have a little book or something with primary, secondary and limited fuel stops. It sounds like they are going to be real stiff if you keep fueling at limited fuel stops. They said if they could get the fleet to average .10 cents less per gallon by fueling smart they could save something like 5-6 million dollars per year. 8) 8)

 

It could be worse I suppose. Some companies make you absolutely fuel at terminals, certain stops and only put on certain gallons and you must follow it to a T. For the most part we can do whatever we want as long as it's on the fuel list. 8) 8)

 

wow,primary and secondary fuel stops?? those are the same fuel books knight has.But yea,I left around the beginning of june.Let me guess,the secondary fuel stops youre only allowed to put in 50 gallons correct? and the primary you can fill up at?But I do hope marten does well and shapes things up,there are alot of drivers with this company whose family depends on them.
