IN the nomenclature of the fuel-hauling industry, a "cross-drop" is an event that occurs when a transport-truck driver accidentally unloads the wrong fuel product into the wrong underground storage tank (UST) during a delivery to a retailor commercial-fueling location. The ultimate effect of a cross-drop is the shutdown of the fueling site for several hours as the now unsalable fuel is removed and the tanks are cleaned, which will lead to lost revenue and significant maintenance and disposal costs. Not to mention the damage to the retailer's reputation. |
