[QUOTE="Frankie's Friend, post: 3881812"] Few (if any) of our routes burn more than a tank of fuel. Pretrip always called for us to visually check the fuel level by taking off the cap and seeing the fuel in the fill tube. This daily required procedure may have been due to fuel gauge failure in those old trucks. The message on friday came from way above the center manager's head. It's probably about making the bottom line look better for the quarter. We still log the fuel as '99' for fueling off area and if we fuel at the building we put it in our boards under pump 1 or 2 and list the gal dispensed. The bid fuel n park employee writes in on a piece of paper. If you have 120,000 vehicles on the road I'm sure logging the fuel for the week is a substantial cost if shown. Without averaging the feeder fuel and diesel cost accurately but figuring 120M vehicles fueling 30 gal each at $3/gal it shows an expenditure of $10,800,000.00 for ONE day. Figure two days (with airs on Saturday and Monday being partial days for most) and that's a lot of cost on the books. If you run out of fuel the cost just doubles (at a minimum) but it will affect 2019 not 2018. [/QUOTE]
