That's really a good explanation! So for something that won't happen again in a hundred years the fuelers have to be scared to break the "rule."

And I could never understand why the fuel truck can't come between 1 and 2 or after 5. Pioneer is the customer. It should be at their convenience.

Easy my friend your little fingers will get tired  ! To answer your question, they doubled up the lines like they do on inspection day so they could open up the front of the yard, but I did hear guys were  there for a very long time🚌

Also, if it's a holiday Monday, when can those buses fuel? Have to wait for Wednesday? With, say 1/4 tank???

Curious, LMAO. How did they break up the log jam? Just send odd buses off the line?

And by the way, this could have totally been avoided that Monday if there was fueling on Friday. (God forbid!!)

Well thanks for your insight, LMAO, and certainly the yard can't be jammed up like that. (And who the fuck would wait on a line that long?!!)  But that was unusual and this has been a "rule" long before the incident you mentioned.

I was denied the other day when there was only one bus behind me because the fueler was afraid of getting yelled at. Of course I don't blame him and didn't want the kid to get in trouble but there should be some room for common sense.

I'll give you a little insight of why this came about,This past Monday (even day) I was the first bus hanging back just past the  shop waiting for the bus  ahead to turn into the pumps so I can move up . for some reason everyone decided to come back that  morning and proceeded to make a complete circle around the whole yard and down the driveway, blocking the shop bays and blocking the pumps so the first bus couldn't turn into the pumps  I couldn't move up because I couldn't get past. The buses lined up in front of the shop bays and busses just trying to enter or exit the yard had no where to go causing a traffic jam in the yard which did not go over to well with The powers that be !
(We are our own worst enemy and this is the outcome) 🚌

PS you're right about the trip runs being able to get fuel whenever .. the rules change Like the wind in this place!

You're so right about the extra mileage and the consumption of gas buses. How any money was saved by buying gas vehicles is beyond me. 

I mean it just doesn't make sense to make it more difficult to be able to do your job.
