CRETES LOG BOOK RULES

At Swift we have to have an accurate log within 15 minutes of a fuel stop. I get dinged for fuel violations at least once a month, most get corrected, two have not, and both times the computer said I fueled over two hrs after I said I did. Both times I was at a terminal, and both time I was logged in at the terminal, at the time I said I fueled. One time I spend the night there I dropped my trailer then stood around for 2 hrs then fueled. And the other I had came and went according to the terminal log then snuck back in to fuel.
We "should" fuel where the computer tells us to, however I have been routed 100 miles out of route to save 5 cents a gallon. Not sure how that works. Needless to say I just asked for emergency fuel where I needed it. Computers are so naughty and so complex...

When I drove for Barr Nunn, they have a network of fuel stops. As long as you use one of those fuel stops you are ok. If some thing happened to where you needed a emergency stop you just sent in a macro and asking for an emergency fuel stop. They would ask for how many gallons you can get etc.. That worked out pretty good.

It helps when the person the driver talks too understands the problem, but sadly, not all do.

I drove for Crete for 6 years. I didn't have many complaints about them. I just talked with a driver that is still there and yes, the fuel needs to be logged when it happens. Used to have 1 hr leeway or could log at beginning or end of 10 hr break. He says that it can't be done any longer.

Keep it as close to your actual time spent fueling and you'll never have a problem :wink:...
