Program-level surge triggers, mutual-aid partner contracts, triage centers, temporary pricing, and parts-kitting rules—activation-ready playbook rather than one-off checklists.
Action-oriented playbook tying recent EIA and industry reporting on tight refining capacity and higher pump prices to concrete operational moves: immediate routing tweaks, a temporary increase in truck PARs and kitting to reduce return trips, sample fuel-surcharge and price‑rule templates, short-term scheduling rules to lower deadhead, and quick cashflow/hedge recommendations to manage volatility.
Concise, tech-facing SOP covering vehicle storage layout, segregation, MSDS handling, spill-containment steps, incident-reporting templates and customer communication scripts to reduce liability and ensure compliance.
Dispatcher-focused triage: intake question templates, safety/equipment/cosmetic risk tiers, temporary mitigation steps techs can perform, and routing/parts bundling rules for storm waves.
Kitting playbook defined by repair type with packaging/labeling rules, audit cadence, replenishment workflow from warehouse to truck and tracking rules—focus on kitting lifecycle to raise first-time-fix rates.
