Have you ever considered On-Site Fueling?

How much time does it take your drivers to fuel their trucks? Would that time be better utilized making deliveries rather then fueling the trucks? How do I comply with the multitude of State and Federal regulations for fuel storage tanks? What do I do about my increased insurance premiums because we maintain fuel storage on-site? Who is going to keep up the maintenance on the fuel tanks? If you have ever asked yourself these types of questions, then we have something for you to consider.

Nelson Oil’s On-Site Fueling service could be your answer to new found efficiencies. During your downtime usually during the evening hours our fleet is fueling your trucks right on your site. When your drivers arrive to work your trucks are full of fuel and ready to go. You have no valuable delivery time used up by fueling.

Example:

ABC Company has 20 trucks that use approximately 35 gallons of fuel each day for a total of 700 gallons per day. ABC Company pays its drivers $15.00 per hour (benefits & over time included) and it takes each driver ½ hour to fuel the truck each day.

Let’s do the math:

20 trucks x ½ hour per truck to fuel = $150.00 to fuel the fleet each day.

$150.00 divided by 700 gallons to fuel the fleet = $.214 per gallon hidden cost to fuel.

So whatever ABC Company is paying for fuel add $.214 per gallon to that cost.
