Cost vs Quality

No matter what business you’re in – construction, landscaping, delivery, refrigeration, or auto dealerships – keeping your fleet on the road and your equipment operating is the top priority.  While some companies still rely on retail fuel, there are some significant advantages of bulk fueling that are too important to your bottom line to ignore. Let’s discover what they are.

1. Save Time

According to the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics: Americans spend a staggering amount of time gassing up their vehicles.

Here are the statistics.

  • Driving to a gas station (15 minutes per trip)
  • Buying gas (10 minutes per fill-up)

Now take those 25 minutes per trip and multiply it times your workforce. Even if you only had a crew of five construction workers and they only got gas one time a week, you’re wasting money. That’s especially true if they carpool and drive from job to job together. You’re paying everyone in that truck to buy gas instead of paying them for profit-producing work like:

  • Pouring concrete
  • Painting the exterior of a building
  • Sheet rocking a new home
  • Delivering frozen food
  • Working on recurring landscaping jobs
  • Running the crew at the job site
2. Gain Focus & Efficiency

Have you ever felt that running crews is like herding cats? Big cats? Well, you’re not alone. A big key to efficiency is focusing, and that includes getting everyone to work on time and having a plan laid out for daily production. That alone can increase your production tenfold.

3. Avoid Inefficiency & Overtime

Two of the crew are late because they had to get gas or diesel fuel. That can snowball into

  • Your customer is calling because their delivery or scheduled service is late.
  • The rest of the day’s schedule is off.
  • You end up paying overtime to make sure all your customers are serviced.
4. Ensure Fuel Quality

According to AAA, poor fuel quality results in 19 times more engine deposits which can:

  1. Decrease performance
  2. Lower fuel economy
  3. Produce more emissions

For business owners, besides wasted time at the pump, it also means higher vehicle maintenance costs. When your employees gas up at the closest gas station available, instead of having a bulk fuel delivery service, you cannot monitor what’s going into your company fleet.

5. Gain Accounting Control

In business, we all know if you don’t control spending – it will go out-of-control. And we’re sure your accounting department will completely agree with that. And managing your fuel costs is a breeze when you have bulk fuel delivery.

6. Reliable Bulk Fuel Delivery

Setting up a  delivery schedule that works best with your company will increase your productivity. Instead of dealing with gas lines and over time, you’ll be concentrating on increasing your profits. And, by negotiating a bulk contract, you can protect yourself against rising fuel costs.
