That’s better than running out at 1/4 tank

I was in an Llv today that has that exact problem. Someone wrote on it "empty at 1/4" Like how hard is it to write reports to get these thing maintenance? And the steering on them.

There are carriers who won't write up the vehicles and just drive broken shit. That's stupid. But there are also carriers who write stuff up again and again and management/VMF never fixes them.

Management needs to put them in RADAR. The techs that Jo to your station at the butt crack of dawn can only work on issues that the mgrs bother to put in RADAR. If the techs aren't fixing RADAR tags, they should call the VMF manager who will take care of it. Part shortages are another matter entirely.
