    Hey, Lucy!

    I've had the same thing happen, a few times, when I tried to fuel.

    Your first mistake was going inside to ask some flunky about it, instead of calling your DM.
    Your DM would have told you that it was a ComData mistake, and that is all. He could have cleared it up in short order.
    There is no reason to turn off your ComData card, even for fueling, if you have a scheduled fuel stop. They would want to make sure you go to where they wanted you.

    As for the Swiftie that passed you when you were tinkling... he probably got a good laugh, just like all of us here did at your post.

    If you are routed to the terminal it may just be for a random drug test, or they have too much freight and need drivers.
    Don't be so paranoid.

    And keep a bottle handy for times that you 'really, really have to go'.
     
    Lepton1 and Lucy in the Sky Thank this.

    OK at least I learned the Swift "golden" rule, the one all Swift drivers obey: ALWAYS urinate from the passenger door, NEVER out of the driver door!

    I would have fired him for no seat belt and being a moron.

    My company has a social media policy outlined a n company handbook. I'm not sure exactly what's a violation but I'm not interested in finding out. That's why I'm not making videos and talking about pissing out of the truck.

    I couldn't stand watching him for more than 30 seconds. Between the obvious bad mullet under his cap, his wad o' chew, and, well....him....he was making me want to perform a different bodily function....
