Why Florida fleets are moving off retail pumps
For decades, sending drivers to public truck stops was simply how fleets fueled. It worked, but it quietly cost operators money every shift — in payroll, in miles, in mispriced gallons, and in lost visibility. On-site fleet fueling (sometimes called wet hosing or mobile fueling) flips the model: instead of driving equipment to fuel, our tanker meets the equipment at your yard, jobsite, or terminal on a schedule you set.
Across Florida, G. W. Hunter delivers diesel, gasoline, and DEF directly into trucks, generators, refrigerated trailers, and heavy equipment — nights, weekends, or whatever window keeps your operation running. Below are the practical benefits our customers see in the first few months.
Six benefits that show up on the P&L
Zero downtime for fueling
Trucks and equipment are refueled overnight or during shift changes — no driver detours, no waiting at retail pumps, no idle payroll hours spent standing next to a nozzle.
Lower total fuel cost
Bulk wholesale pricing beats retail street prices, and eliminating out-of-route miles to public stations saves both fuel and time on every shift.
Accurate reporting per vehicle
Every gallon is delivered against a specific unit number and driver, so IFTA reporting, per-truck efficiency tracking, and fuel budgeting all get cleaner data.
Reduced theft and misfueling
Fuel is dispensed by a trained G. W. Hunter driver into approved equipment — no lost fuel cards, skimmed pumps, or fuel purchased for personal vehicles.
Cleaner yard operations
Professional wet hosing means fewer spills, proper spill-response equipment on every truck, and full documentation for EPA and Florida DEP compliance.
One vendor, one invoice
Diesel, DEF, and lubricants delivered on the same schedule from one team you already know — simpler AP, one point of contact for issues.
What "on-site fueling" actually looks like day-to-day
A typical customer sends us their fleet list, average weekly gallons, and preferred fueling window. We build a route around that. A G. W. Hunter driver arrives after your last shift, fuels each unit by number, records gallons and odometer, and leaves a per-truck delivery ticket. Your team walks into a yard where every truck is fueled, DEF is topped off, and paperwork is already in your inbox.
Is on-site fueling right for your operation?
The programs pay back fastest for operations that share a few traits:
- 10+ trucks or pieces of diesel equipment returning to a yard
- Fuel spend where driver time at retail pumps is noticeable
- Need for per-unit gallon tracking or IFTA support
- Job sites, construction, agriculture, or transit operations across North & Central Florida
- Backup generators, refrigerated storage, or emergency response equipment
If any of that sounds familiar, give us a call. We'll walk through your current fueling workflow, benchmark it against an on-site program, and be honest about whether the switch will save you money — no pressure, no long-form paperwork to get a straight answer.
