It’s a shame that neither adult aged drivers nor their supervisors can be trusted with fuel cards. HA!

I love my job. Don't you?
As long as your red tag puts $$$$ back in the investors pockets then red tag all you can my friend. That's what matters

We have our own pumps and the RPCDs do their own fueling. Car wash does the tractors.

It's a shame there are still drivers that can't be trusted to put the right fuel in. Another 200 gallons and a tow Monday because of this. And my time.

We have another building that's the same way. Drivers fuel and park the cars. In my building we pull in, pull our crap out and car wash takes over.
I'll slip the car wash a 6 pack or a burrito every so often to spray down the cab with the power washer.

He who laughs last didn't get it.

I like that setup. We return to the building and some drivers fuel on the road, others use our pumps. Then we run through the car wash on site and park.
Our car wash guys just tell newbies where to go, get bulk vans parked after the unload is done with them and replace vehicles getting fixed. Basically, they just make sure the lineup is set for the next day. And we have 4 of them, one for each boxline.
I'm sure they do more that I don't see, but none of it has to do with fueling or washing the vehicles. Go figure

I paid for 1 gallon of gas once to make the 15 mile drive back.

Why would anyone leave the building without checking if ya have gas? Or taking a gas card? It’s literally the methods

Way back when, before all the computer tech we have today, the customer counter and center used labels that were charged out to the center.
I was put in a p500 with two tanks of which only one worked, not told this info either went to switch over and truck died switched back and made it to a dragline construction site and asked for a tank of gas they obliged.
next time I delivered there I gave her 10 next day air labels with the centers acct number and said have at it and thanks for the gas. They got the cost of that fuel back but good. They used most of them for heavy parts.
I told my boss what I was doing and he said that was just fine and sorry we didn’t tell you about the fuel tank. (He was my best manager ever)

Isn’t making sure you have enough fuel part of the pre-trip?
Ignore my ignorance I do 30 miles tops a day.

It absolutely is.
But you said literally the methods. Making sure you have a gas card or take a gas card with you is not literally one of the methods.

Should have asked for him to hand you his personal cash or card, and you would hring the receipt.
Let HIM put in for reimbursement!

Neither the drivers nor the car washers wash anything at my building. The car washers just do the lineup which is more than enough work for them with how the building is set up.
The feeder tractors are shiny clean but the brownies that the customers actually see look light tan from all the dirt.

Yes, I know I'm working late.
Must have been a long time ago. I haven't had a best manager since 1995. Lots of turd rejects since then.

Some guys don't wash the truck unless it rains, but I can’t do that. I go through at least twice a week and it's mainly because my windshield is a bug graveyard. After a few days you can’t see out of the damn thing.
