Why Florida fleets are moving off retail pumps
Sending drivers to retail pumps takes time and adds out-of-route miles. With an on-site fuel tank, your fleet fuels from its own tank at the yard instead of making a separate trip to a public station.
G. W. Hunter installs a tank sized to your operation, adds a fuel monitoring device so you always know the fuel level, and keeps the tank filled with scheduled bulk deliveries of diesel or gasoline. We also run a 24/7 cardlock fueling network in Lake City, FL. Here are six benefits of having fuel available at your own site.
Six benefits that show up on the P&L
Less downtime for fueling
Your drivers fuel at the yard from your own on-site tank, without detours to retail pumps. Fueling fits into your operation instead of taking drivers out of their way.
Lower total fuel cost
Bulk delivered pricing replaces retail street prices. Fewer out-of-route miles to public stations also help reduce the fuel and time spent getting fuel.
Always know your fuel level
A fuel monitoring device shows your tank level so you always know how much fuel is available. Scheduled bulk deliveries keep it filled and help prevent running out.
More control over your fuel
Your fuel stays on your property in your own tank instead of being bought on cards at public stations. Your team fuels at the yard when it needs to.
A tank sized to your operation
G. W. Hunter recommends and installs a tank sized to your fuel usage and site. The setup reflects your operation's needs, with a fuel monitoring device to keep the level visible.
One supplier, one invoice
Get your diesel or gasoline deliveries, and DEF or lubricants if needed, from one team you already know. One supplier keeps ordering and invoicing simpler.
What "on-site fueling" actually looks like day-to-day
You tell us your average monthly gallons and site details. We recommend and install a tank sized to your needs, with a fuel monitoring device so you can see the level. We schedule bulk diesel or gasoline deliveries to keep the tank filled. Your drivers fuel at the yard from your own tank whenever they need to.
Is on-site fueling right for your operation?
An on-site tank may be a good fit for operations that share a few traits:
- Trucks or equipment returning to a yard with space for a fuel tank
- Fuel spend where driver time at retail pumps is noticeable
- Job sites, construction, agriculture, or transit operations across North & Central Florida
- Trucking, logging, construction, distribution centers, or convenience stores with steady fuel use
If any of that sounds familiar, give us a call. We'll walk through your monthly fuel use and site details, discuss tank sizing and monitoring, and prepare a bulk fuel delivery quote for your operation.
