Used to you could put on 50 gallons with fuel card to get you to the nearest authorized fuel stop. I’m not running out in middle if nowhere cause they won’t allow me fuel it goes to truck stop. Not sure if road knowing it’s not gonna make it.
I got close to running out twice in my career. Increase with truck with 2 70 gallon tanks and i got held at receiver for days.
Next was in my kw, going to hoods, some idiot crashed and the road was shut down. I sat there for a lot longer than intended.
Now i fuel when I got 1/4 tank. Sometimes more than if I’m not familiar with the area.
HELP!! SWIFT RUINED MY DAC & Hire right report!

Going out on the highway low on fuel in winter is not smart. Great way to freeze to death, especially up here where 35 below happens regularly.
Albertaflatbed and Voodoo Pyg Thank this.
