Terminal fuel...
I was chatting with a friend from the school who is running team L/O (though they will tell you they're O/O) that terminal fuel is leftover fuel from the Flyin' Js. (atleast in swift's case their fuel is purchased from Flyin J) Now i dont buy its 'leftover' fuel....but granted might not be as 'fresh' and the stuff they put in their tanks at the truck stop....anyone have an idea into this??

what does it matter? "leftover fuel"....are you crapping me? sounds like a r3tarded lease-operator if you ask me. he's straight up r3tarded for doing lease-purchase deal anyway. anyway, it's fuel. like i've already stated, what does it matter? be glad you don't have to fuel up at pilot most of the time.

The only left over fuel I have ever seen is what I bucket drain at the rack, imagine a minimum of 5 gallons per truck that goes back into the system and 500+ loads a day, hmmm thats a lot of left over fuel being transfered back into the tanks after it is cleaned and being resold after it has already been purchased not a bad business.
However the concept of left over fuel at your terminal, no chance. Kevin some one is fing with you're head, there is no way Flying J is having fuel pumped out of their tanks and then shipped to your terminal, that is a complete waste of time and money... The shelf life of diesel can vary but for the most part it is at least 6 months before any type of break down begins to happen, hopefully your turn around time is much faster then that as I know it is in our terminal and we are just a small trucking company.

this reminds me of something that happened yesterday on my way to jersey. i was runnin along the pa pike when i came up on this swift truck with his triangles out. i thought to myself...i wish things were like they used to be so i pulled in behind him and walked up to the truck to see if he needed any help. the driver gets out and said "no, i am good, they are bringing me another truck." i said what happened. he said "the sunvisor fell off". i said well why are the bringing you another truck? he says "well the shift pattern is on the sunvisor so i need a new truck"

This reminds me of what I once heard that used motor oil(well strained) could be added to your truck's fuel tanks and burned. It seems to me that this would work great for disposing of spent motor oil, provided that it was filtered of any particles and mixed well with diesel fuel(eg. 5 gals motor oil to 200 gals diesel).
Would it work or would it be a great way to destroy fuel injectors? |
