Cummins South has a location just South of Atlanta. The number there is 404-763-0151 during regular business hours weekdays. They have a 24 hour number for emergency service but that's gonna be expensive. Probably cheaper to wait for Monday and stay in a 4 star hotel tonight.

Is the leak AT the pump, or just one of the fittings?

Lift pump that is on it hasn't got 5,000 miles on it and was installed at our local cummins repair center.
Whats the likleyhood that it will be just the lift pump and not the injector pump? he is at a TA center right now and they can install a lift pump tommorrow, but if that doesn't do it they can't do the injector pump.

Actually my son is doing this delivery so he is the one who is stranded. Yes i have gauges and fuel pressure was running 12-15 lbs. (just had a lift pump put on in Oct.)
Talked to Bob Wagner and he steered me to Jeff Garmon Diesel in Ga.
No luck getting hold of him yet but will keep trying.

You would get mine probably sooner than later, I just replaced my 4 Lift Pump this weekend. It had been fluctuating for about 2 months now and finally died Friday.
