Greg:

Thanx, but I 'spect it would be a problem. FedEx Ground contractors procure all their fuel on the same acounting system that provides their compensation. They buy all their fuel at the $1.25 price and never worry about the FSC variables. There is very little, if any, personal use of the truck because the Ground contractors generally only drive from customer to terminal, thence to terminal to customer.

If you could buy fuel at the $1.25 price, you'd receive no FSC for that amount of fuel you buy. Would you want to buy all your fuel from a Ground facility, or just some of your fuel when it's convenient for you to do so? If you just bought some fuel from Ground, how then would Custom Critical prorate your FSC for revenue miles and personal miles. After buying the fuel, if you could, FedEx Ground would have to bill FedEx Custom Critical then Custom Critical would delete the monies owed from your settlement. Two different accounting systems, two different headaches and, of course, someone would have to pay for these money transfers; guess who that would be.

You just might not save enough to offset the cost and inconvenience of getting fuel from a different OPCO.
