Was thinking about that, but it's so high I don't think it will do much to keep fuelers dry if there's any wind.
Probably has something to do with the overhead fire extinguishers ... which I'm assuming it has ... and being far enough away from a fire.

So how long is it gonna take to get gas with the mechanics area being way out of the area unless the gas guy is getting his own area to stay at lol. We all know how long it takes and we are two feet from them

They really should build a little heated booth like they have at gas stations but I don't think it's in the plans here.

All done! (Visible in a previous pic, someone asked if there were cameras on the poles. Yes ... they go to monitors in Steve's office.) Thanks again to my part-time friend for the pic.

Until they remove the old tanks I believe you line up and make the left just like you used to but about 50 feet further down, then exit to the right after fueling.

Un-fucking real.
What could possibly be the reason?

The reason could possibly be that with the new location of the pumps that fueling in the AM would interfere with buses leaving the yard.

How so? The line would form just as it had before. It amounts to making the left to get fuel 50 feet further down.
Anything to make it more difficult to get fuel. Like in the afternoon when the fucking fuel truck is there ...

Lmaooo just wait to see how long it takes for the gas guy to even get to us and know we are there waiting. So if I leave the yard at 7:20 for an 8am pick up and nobody is online I can't get gas when it benefits me....annoying

First of all it may not even be true but that's what I heard. Secondly, the question was asked why and I gave a POSSIBLY answer. And BTW it's not just a matter of 50' down more. The vans that park overnight outside the driver's room and down the alleyway would be in the way with the new pumps whereas they are not in the way with the old pumps. Bottom line ask Steve if it's true and if so, why?

Well why can't the vans that park down the alley way park UP the alley way?
Rhetorical ... I know you don't know the answer.

Talked to Steve. He says the reason is that oil, DEF, etc. will have to dragged out there every morning.
I still don't understand why it can't be dragged out sooner rather than later but that's the answer I got.
Also told me vans will not be parking down the fuel alley so we'll be able to make the right (so that's not the reason for no a.m. fueling), and as long as the old pumps have been removed we'll be able to make the left also.
