    You can ask all the questions you want here.

    It is sort of ironic though that Joker is the only one who still works at May that posts here consistently :)

    99.9% of the time it will stop at the limit, I found out the hard way at the pfj in Ontario, Or just down from Payette one night. Put in half the limit in one tank, then started on the other tank and went to finish finish cleaning my windshield thinking it would stop and it didn't, that was a fun call to night dispatch and having to deal with Sharla the next day lol.

    Haha night dispatch was fairly understanding, I preferred dealing with then more than my dm.

    I was talking to a guy from May the other day. He kept asking for fuel and they wanted him to wait until he got to some place in Nevada. He ran out. They had to send a tow with fuel, $375 for fifteen gallons!

    Happened to my buddie too, (he's at Material transport now). He kept fighting over fuel, finally said, heck with it after they said he could get to Corning from Eureka on 1/4 of a tank with a 45000 lb load. I told him to call night dispatch for fuel before he got to Weed, but his blood was up and he said, I'm gonna make a point. Ran outta fuel below Red Bluff, cost over 800 bucks to come out at night with 20 gallons. Best part was, when they primed his Pete, they lost the seal for the filter and he ran out of fuel again at the stoplight before the Loves at Corning. Cost another 575 bucks. But he thought it was great that he'd made his point. Never ran him outta fuel again. He was outta Layton.
