Stop in for a cup of coffee
Paving job superintendent calls me at my asphalt plant one day. "Alex, I'm only getting 125 tons/hour out here. Your sales department promised me 150." "Well according to my calculations here, I'm sending you 225 tph. I can slow down if you want me to. What YOUR trucks do after they leave here is not my problem. Talk to your truck boss." A little while later I'm out of trucks to load and I call him. "Problems on the job? I'm out of trucks." He didn't mess with me again, on any of the jobs following either.
