Makes sense about the fuel cards being rejected, but you’d think the drivers would rather leave the truck at the last truck stop where they couldn’t buy fuel rather than out on the Interstate somewhere.
Or maybe they headed for home and went as far as the remaining fuel would carry them. Then it would cost them less to get home.
When one of those big companies went out of business a while back, they had to go out and recover trailers from remote areas where the drivers had taken them in an attempt to hold the cargo “hostage” until they got their final paychecks. LOL.
