Commercial mobile and bulk fueling and out-sourced fuel management services

Traditionally, businesses and other entities that operate fleets of vehicles and equipment have met their fueling requirements by either maintaining their own supply of fuel in on-site storage tanks or fueling vehicles at retail stations and other third party facilities.

On-site storage tanks and fueling facilities are expensive to construct and maintain, and expose the property owner and operator to potential liability associated with fuel leaks or spills. In addition, increasingly stringent federal and state environmental regulation of underground storage tanks may require businesses that maintain their own fuel supplies to spend significant amounts to remove, retrofit and/or to maintain underground and aboveground storage tanks to meet regulatory standards.
Many fleet operators currently utilizing on-site storage tanks may choose to meet their fueling requirements by other means, including commercial mobile fueling, instead of investing in upgrading and/or maintaining existing facilities.

Fueling vehicles at retail stations and other facilities operated by third parties can result in a higher cost of operations due to inefficient use of employee time, the creation of significant unnecessary paperwork and employee fraud.
While large fuel users may be able to negotiate favorable pricing from retail stations or other fuel suppliers, the labor cost incurred in connection with employee fueling of vehicles, and the costs associated with management and administration of fuel purchases, can exceed the benefits associated with price discounts.
