No not my fault When the SUP saw me the next day he said he was sorry. It didn't have a full tank when he gave it to me and he sent me out to the middle of no where to help another driver.

Same thing happed two weeks ago to a driver on a heavy industrial area. Called me in to cover pick ups. UPS mechanics do not change tires on area.

Sometimes fuel drops don't make it to the building in a timely manner, and The fuelers don't fuel. It's still your responsibility as a driver to pre trip your fuel tank. It is sure easier to drop some coin at a fuel stop and limp back into the building, then request reimbursement. Not so easy to wait on the side of the road for 2 hours for the mechanic to bring you fuel.

I have bought fuel on many occasions, as well as headlights, turn signal bulbs, flasher units, wiper blades and repair links for tire chains. Never once had a problem getting reimbursed. I just make sure to use my credit card and hang on to the receipt. Usually I get my money back that night, or at the latest the next day. In the old days when we collected cash for COD's we bought whatever we needed with that cash and submitted the receipts with our turn-in. Old habits die hard I guess.

Our mall driver ran out of fuel on route. There are 3 gas stations within a mile of the mall. Don't be THAT guy.

I did that too. But didn't get towed, they brought out some fuel. Wasn't my fault, gauge was messed. Next time I had that truck the shop marked the dash, "Check fuel, gauge broken".
Back in the COD-cash days, all you had to do is submit the fuel voucher and subtract the amount from your cash total.

Why do all of our vehicles have gas cards and not in other Centers?

Gas cards are expensive apparently. My card expired and they didn't have the budget to replace it. I had to write down the number off another gas card and the gas station clerk has to put it in manually.
funny as hell
we have double that many just in our carwash.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Do you not have pumps in your center?
I have seen centers where almost everyone has a fuel card and I have seen centers where it's virtually impossible to get one.

Many places won't do this and I don't blame them. The night they had to bring me another truck 1 station wouldn't take a written down number and the other didn't take American Express. I had driven well over 300 miles on what was normally a 200 mile route because of a terrible dispatch. That's their problem. Not mine.

What does that do to a high performance diesel engine?
