The fuel issue on the phone.

Stay behind it.
00:27
Buffalo 7488, that's received.
00:29
If he's at 49 at the end of the ramp there at the traffic lights, it's going to be one of our emergency heavies we're going to have to dispatch.

I believe it's going to dad as well if I'm not mistaken.

We got Resigniacs heavy en route.
01:01
Do we know what kind of cab that is and how much she weighs?

It's a two axle day cab.
01:12
I can get away down it if you need to.

Received. I have it up on the camera.
01:22
I gave for Xeniax a good description.
01:24
Should be all set.
01:34
Eight eight Buffalo, if you want to advise them by he was on the phone with merge and they're thinking it may be a fuel sensor issue.
01:43
He's claiming he's got a quarter tank but for some reason it's not delivering fuel.
01:50
I don't know if that might be a fix right here.
01:55
A little more quickly than actually hooking to him and get him out of here.
02:00
Okay, that's received.
02:01
Let me run it by this supervisor.
02:02
Stand by one.
02:09

I spoke with the supervisor.
02:32
If it's in the lane,

582 has got to figure it out.
02:34
Just got to get it out of there and then they can get service once they're off the E ramp there.
02:41
I just mentioned it only because the heavy is probably going to need to take two lanes southbound on State Route 78 to do it as well.
02:50
That's received.
02:51
I agree.
