Brain wave: Imagine if mega-carriers put as much planning into overnight parking as they do into fuel stops. Truck parking would be COMPLETELY transformed. šŸ§µbelow... #trucking @FW_Truck @TimothyDooner @puddleofyuck @BrokenSword25 @FWwhatthetruck @TruckingDepot @truckingshow
Big companies typically plan out their fuel stops using routing software that considers fuel cost, taxes, driving efficiency, and more. Its common for their drivers to get 50 gallons here, fill up there, and another 100 gallons down the road. This is actually smart.
