No thanks. I'll stick with CF 8)
That's fine - If you're happy with another company, more power to you.

EDIT: As far as contracts go, as soon as we get 25 drivers we can start bidding on them. Right now we have 7 drivers with the company.

Well, I just ran out of hours.
The last 3 legs, fuel was $2.95-$3.00 a gallon. I got down so low, it told me that I needed fuel ASAP on the screen. Well, I did fuel up, and I hit the next leg. $1.40 some-odd a gallon. :shock: :?

Jackrabbit, if you need just a little fuel, go to edit driver and you can set it as low as 10 or 20% refuel, then when hit a cheap price reset it for 100%.

Doesn't that still burn up a fatigue point ? 8)

It does still use a fatigue point, but it prevents you from filling up your tanks with 200+ gallons at $2.50 or more per gallon when you may only need 30 gallons to get to your destination / terminal location and can buy fuel cheaper. Can easily save you a couple hundred dollars.

Default Our first terminal!!!

CTI just purchased our first terminal. It's located in Trenton. Now would be the time to jump on the bandwagon - we're looking to expand some more ASAP!!!

I am under a short load with my 3rd truck. I did get a ticket for 10 k over to the tune of -$300 and exceeding hos for -$50 a while back. I noticed that when you have exceeded 11 driving hours, in my case it has allowed the additional fatigue point - 12 FP without any fines to refuel. What's "Fateegyou" said my 11 yr old co driver ? And always calls me on a cellphone to complete the next legs since my job has games blocked on our work computers. We have around 23k miles logged in 22 days. Not bad for a rookie team plus it's something to do together...

Also thought ahead and borrowed 3 days in a row prior to arrival at a terminal and then made my purchase with only 4% fuel left... Banking/loans counted as being logged in btw against my hos. Bought my first Pete 379 with 90% and 850k from a terminal at 25% discount. I purchase fuel filter and injectors asap for better economy and less breakdowns at a terminal also. The toolbox knocks off a little as well.

Thanks for the fuel% tips on refuel. I noticed the fuel prices are always changing.

Contracts make a big difference and the forums have people complaining about how hard they are to get at 12 midnight... So unless someone knows the ins and out's don't count on them initially until you work out the bugs....
