No gas

[opey]

we were only told not to fuel up unless absolutely needed, and if you do, not to record it in the diad. pumps were not locked or anything. guessing its some sort of accounting bs

I don’t think I would even do this job if I had to fill up myself. Screw all that noise.

I would have used my fuel perk points to help the company out....

Oh, that's not dishonest...

Just like they told us we could use closed holiday between 12 and 1 this past week.....

Seriously tho, I got the message last night too. I imagine we'll all be fueling before we hit the road Wednesday.

Are they trying to kick these delayed fuel costs off the 4th quarter books and into the first quarter of next year?

Absolutely

Absolutely

For the same reason the mechanics couldn't order any parts. Must have been something really bad to delay all that spending until next quarter.

Gypsies. Paying Gypsies to pull loads, and at the same time paying us to sit there or pull empties...both ways.

Came in yesterday and the gas pumps were padlocked. Was told no filling up unless it was less than half a tank. Heard this is nationwide.

We work for idiots.

If you have no gas, just eat 3 cans of the worst baked beans you can find.
Might have more gas than you could ever wish for!

Would love it if they did that here. We have many routes that use more than half a tank. What's procedure if I run out of diesel? And I told them I needed fuel?

 

[3 done 3 to go]

Yeah got that message yesterday afternoon. I fill my truck on route on my way out to my area. Already was full. Will fill again on Wednesday morning. Also no full time are allowed to work on new years eve this yr. YAY!!! 4 day weekend

Somebody in management has an integrity issue. Perhaps more than one person.

No gas, no problem.
When the low fuel light comes on, pull over and make OT waiting for them to figure out what to do.

 

[BigUnionGuy]

Isn't part of the pre-trip.... involve assuring the vehicle is completely fueled ?

It is if you run out of fuel...

The fuel gauges don't work on a lot of cars at our center. Either you fill up before leaving the hub, or you risk running out. You will never get a low fuel notice.

Running out, has always been a warning letter.
