How do you keep your fleet fueled? Do you drive your vehicles to the local gas stations and fill up as needed or do you have fuel delivered when you call and order it? If you have never considered on-site fuel management, this option allows you to concentrate one of the most time-consuming activities \u2013 refueling \u2013 into one place. This post will go over the benefits of on-site fuel management and delivery.<\/p>\n

You will save time<\/h2>\n

Imagine that you come into your office to find that your entire fleet has fuel before your drivers or operators get to work. They don\u2019t need to spend time fueling up their vehicles at gas stations; they can go straight to work. The job gets done faster, for less money, and your workers get to spend more time working than refueling.<\/p>\n

You can save money<\/h2>\n

Think about the cost of driving a vehicle to a gas station and filling up. You need to pay your driver for the time to get to the station, pay for the fuel, and pay for their normal drive time. You also need to pay for any extra miles on the vehicle. These costs can sometimes be minimal. But, spread across your entire fleet over the course of a year, they can magnify into thousands of dollars. On-site fuel management and delivery allow you to purchase fuel in bulk from a supplier. This shields your company from uncertainties in day-to-day operations and in the market.<\/p>\n

You can reduce maintenance<\/h2>\n

On-site refueling and delivery can help you save on maintenance costs for your fleet because it acquires fewer miles. This means less wear and tear on your vehicles and reduced maintenance costs.<\/p>\n

Theft will be reduced<\/h2>\n

No one ever thinks their employees are stealing from them. However, crime is a combination of motive and opportunity. If one or the other is present, it can be enough for a crime to be committed. Most of your people would never dream about stealing fuel from your company if it is on-site. But, if they have a company card and are out in the field, the temptation is greater because there is less oversight and the opportunity is much easier.<\/p>\n

To prevent theft from happening, it can be helpful to eliminate free-fueling and provide on-site fuel instead. You can control when your team refuels and how much they use. You can also track your fuel usage with on-site management and see if you have leaks.<\/p>\n
