Watch Those Fuel Hoses!

I'm currently sitting at the Gibson PA Flying J (Exit 219) I was waiting to fuel up and the driver infront of me was just about finished fueling. After he pulled up I pulled in and jumped out to start fueling. When I initially slid my card in the pump screen stayed blank and it didn't ask for my truck number. I tried my card again nothing so I hit the cancel button on the key pad and the screen indicated that the pump was still activated from the last driver. I looked at the fuel nozzle to see if was seated in the cradle and that's when I noticed that the hose was behind the lever / switch that hose had kept it up enough to keep the pump from shutting off. I moved the hose and the pump shut off proper and I was able to rack my fuel card and pump fuel. When the guy in the truck that used the pump before me I let him know to keep a eye out for next time so he doesn't make the same mistake. I've now added another check onto my continuous check list.

Most truck drivers need the receipt. Without closing that lever, no receipt. That will happen even with in-app receipts. It probably drove driver #1 crazy because he couldn't get a receipt to print out at the kiosk, either.
