If the gauge reads between 3/4ths and 1/2 and my trucks just sitting here running? Missed my dropoff. Was late for my appointment, should have called n let them known. They told me they were gonna be open till one am to tho. It was 9:15pm when I got here. Its'both of our faults I guess but mainly mine. Gonna sit here till the morning till my boss finally calls, just hope I have enough fuel. I think there 2 two hundred gallon tanks, its gotta be in the manual some where but haven't found out yet. Everything just feels hopeless. On the plus side tho I've managed to keep all my bills of ladings. There in one of those container clip boards like that one dude suggested and placed up top in the cabinet above the drivers seat. They ain't goin nowere. Just started driving n was focused on that, had em folded up so they looked like a bunch of other trash I had on the floor n thought I put em in the droor earlier but no. Still have to drive sixty miles in the morning to refuel and don't know were to refuel in the cities.
How long will my fuel last...

Should run 2 hours and 16 minutes.
Good luck
####, that's just mean, rule of thumb is 1 gallon per hour at an idle. You'll be fine. -
nah, 'bout 2 hours 13 minutes.......
-
You'll be fine. You burn about a gallon an hour idling.
Look on your tanks and there's a certification plate mounted on it with the gallon size. It might be stamped by the filler hole. You probably have between 120-160 gallons on board depending on the tank size. You could idle for 5 days at least.
What town are you sitting in? -
If I was you I would open the caps and visually eyeball the amount of fuel you have in your tanks.
-
or find a CLEAN stick, or something to dip it. Like the fifth wheel puller

Lol. That's reassuring anyways. Just lost the boss who knows how many dollars. Ever miss dropping off a load before?
-
I'm in Savage, Mn condo cruiser. Spose to get some rain n snow here in a few. Goody.

We've never been late delivering but we have been late picking up. Just last week we got delayed in Cheyenne due to the weather. It caused us to be 12 hours late picking up a load in Boise.
Here's the thing: it matters why you were late and that you didn't call the customer. -
Next door to my old family neighborhood; hope you're havin' fun!
