    Owner operators pay for their own fuel. Company drivers do not.

    I would say no, no one puts gas into their trucks, diesel engine would not work well with gas .

    Dont call it gas , you will be labeled a moron instantly. We use Fuel , we fuel our trucks. We are amazed at the high Fuel prices.


    The employer usually pays for fuel , unless you fail the stupid test and sign a lease, then you pay the fuel and everything else too.
    Our opinions do not really blossom into fruition until we have expressed them to someone else.

    Don't mind him. The day he was born he was in the truck and driving. He's never had to ask anyone a single thing because he already knows everything there is to know. Just ask him. He'll tell you.

    We are also shocked at the high gas prices!

    (we were amazed back when gas was $1.59/gal. -- now we are shocked when gas is at $4.00+/gal.) :shock: :sad:

    but you can still call it the gas pedal. they'll let that slide.
    the common thing is for a company to issue the driver a comdata card to use at the pump for fueling.
    there was one day where my com card didn't work so i had to use my discover card. but they reimbursed me fast.

    Lighten up, BD!!

    The guy says he's unlearned about the industry; he's just trying to learn..... and after all, this IS the Noob/Wannabee/Plan2B forum!!

    Look at it this way, BD!!

    At least we aren't being bothered by Chad/LewisFriend/Col. Toon or Radio Ray!!
