My greyhound can run faster than your honor student.

The three supervisors in charge of our road crews, mechanics, etc. each have a heavy-duty truck issued to them. Each truck has a 100-gallon tank and an electric pump mounted on the back. During big snow events they each top off their tanks with diesel and go out and dole 25 gallons at a time to the plow trucks as needed while the drivers take a break. That way the plows avoid the need to come all the way back to the campus just for fuel, which could take an hour or more for some routes. I thought that was a pretty good idea.
