Carwash? Fueling the trucks? In my building we are lucky if they even wash the trucks.

I believe you also had to report the mileage also. Been a long time since I used a fuel card.

I fuel and wash the cars I drive.

Which was obviously full. This guy must have pissed someone off somewhere, hope he buries them in paper.
Last winter they brought me out a car not filled up and sent me out in the sticks. I ran out of gas on the Mass pike 6 miles from the building at 8:00 at night they had to send the mechanic out with a couple of cans of gas. Nothing like free money.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Depends on the card. They change it from time to time.

Sounds like a manager that is a few warning letters short of meeting his quota for the week.

Our cards have the car number embossed on them so we enter the odometer and driver ID.

The company must have had ups environmental audit folks there that day.
There's been three times (two this year) that management has knowingly sent Drivers out to deliver in trucks that were leaking fuel.

Had a replacement truck for me while mine was getting serviced. It was a newer p1000. Gas gauge read full when I looked at it b4 leaving. Was satisfied it was full. Did not do a proper pre-trip by physically checking. MY stupidity.....towards end of day truck started sputtering... made it to a gas station in the nick of time.....put 10 dollars in and was releaved......lessen well learned!

The gas gauges in old trucks were notoriously unreliable. Many didn't work at all, so visually checking the fuel level was important. The gauges in the newer trucks mostly work so drivers get in the habit of not stopping to check. Especially if someone else drove that truck the day before you should never trust them to have refueled. I never had a bad gas cap but I did get seam leaks on my gas tank a couple of times. I noticed it in the morning when I saw the puddle next to my truck. I wouldn't notice it driving down the road.

When I had my country run the fuel gauge in the pkg car was less than reliable so I would refuel every day and write down the ending mileage on the DVIR. If I noticed that someone had used the car that night I would top off the tank in the morning before starting my route just to make sure I would have enough fuel to last the day. I have a city run with a brand new pkg car but I still write down the ending odometer just to make sure.

Thank you for all that you do. The company won't be the same when you retire in 2019 with your condo paid off and contemplate paying some student loans and the possibility of being a helper. Really- who would ever consider filling up with fuel each day? We will miss you.

Frequently the cap simply isn't torqued on tight enough. Whenever the gauge reaches 1/4, go fuel up.

We have 3 or 4 "fueler/washers" who fuel the package cars on night shift and run then through the wash tunnel before parking them inside..... Everyday
