People need to also keep in mind the quality of fuel they are getting at other places. I routinely get better mileage when buying at , walmart, Speedway or Kroger than at pfj. Also keep in mind on a sprinter you want to avoid bio diesel as much as possible which tends to be common at pfj.
Pilot/j hands down. Mainly shower credits and points for fuel. They are the only ones with any real van program. Petro might claim too but it's laughable.
Or you can buy fuel on your own, get better mileage, cheaper prices and avoid bio fuel crap. You can save enough to basically pay for a shower.
Not all loads travel only interstates. You drive two lane highways at 55, construction zones or traffic backs that can be 10 or 20 mph. Stop lights, school busses, rush hours. That's one thing some dispatchers seem to have trouble grasping.
When talking to carriers it's important to ask. Do they pay deadhead, how many miles do you drive free before dh pay kicks in if they do. This mostly applies to per mile carriers and can have a huge impact on your bottom line.
