We are well into the first quarter of the year. By now you have analyzed your company operations and started a strategic plan for optimizing your labor, fuel, operational and administrative costs. You have set production and revenue goals for the year. Now let’s see how we can ensure you reach those goals.
Fuel costs can be a huge drain for your company. Fueling heavy equipment as well as fueling those vehicles your sales and operations personnel use is an ongoing need. The time needed to fill those tanks can add up due to traffic conditions and the number of vehicles and equipment in the fleet. Have you considered jobsite fueling?
There are a number of benefits for having fuel and products delivered to your headquarters or jobsites. The key results will be increased cost effectiveness; a reduction in downtime; maintenance and control over the supply; fuel tracking to avoid shortages in emergencies; consistency and convenience; and most importantly, safety. In today’s competitive marketplace of any industry, customer demands and customer satisfaction is paramount in operating a successful business. Not only does bulk fuel delivery assist with onsite productivity, it increases your own company’s operational efficiency, ensuring you meet customer deadlines and expectations.
Bulk purchasing can lead to significant cost savings over time. Purchasing fuel in larger quantities at discounted rates can ensure your fleet and equipment always have the fuels and lubricants on hand for daily use. Fuel levels in bulk tanks can be monitored to ensure timely deliveries to refill the tanks. Bulk deliveries can reduce the travel time for personnel, thus improving overall productivity. Fueling can be scheduled at regular intervals and can occur during off-hours. As a project manager responsible for costs and delivering on a customer’s schedule, bulk jobsite delivery will make your job easier. It would not be a good if your tractor or forklift runs out of fuel. Jobsite fuel delivery can eliminate that problem.
Having all vehicles and equipment fueled up from a jobsite or company location can also help eliminate the numerous receipts from individual fuel purchases. What a time-consuming process that can be for your accounting department! Bulk delivery and monitoring results can make tracking fuel expenses much easier. Tracking and monitoring fuel usage through onsite deliveries can reduce the risk of fuel theft or loss. Knowing the fuel is stored in a controlled fueling environment with security measures in place can offer management piece of mind. And what about the downtime spent traveling to gas stations? It does not help customer satisfaction if a sales person is stuck in traffic, needs to stop by a service station or convenience store to refuel, and is late for an appointment to meet the customer. Bulk fuel options can alleviate this problem.
Real-time tracking using fuel management systems offer the means for management to track fuel usage, help identify inefficiencies, plan for better routes, and maintain their vehicles and equipment for optimum performance and productivity. Integrating onsite fueling systems with fleet management software can streamline record-keeping for fuel expenses and can create accurate reports. Overall productivity and efficiency are a result of utilizing these tools. With bulk tanks on the jobsite or company locations, management is better able to ensure fuel quality so that the fleet is operational and running efficiently. Your jobsite managers should be trained to know and maintain control over what type of fuel or lubricant should fill each vehicle and type of equipment. Since diesel fuel is used in most heavy equipment, you’ll want to consider the quality and type over the cost. Utilizing the proper type of fuel will ensure higher productivity and reduced downtime due to mechanical issues caused by the inferior quality of the fuel.
In today’s environment of supply chain issues, an interruption in service of any kind can spell disaster for some companies. And in our area of Texas we sometimes have weather systems like freezing cold and heavy rain that can interfere with daily work. What if you have an extremely critical project with a lot of heavy equipment needing fuel to complete each day’s work? Bulk delivery of fuels and lubricants will alleviate one of those jobsite issues.
Proper onsite storage systems can help minimize spills, leaks, and other environmental risks associated with improper fueling practices. The bulk storage tanks should be inspected for cracks and leaks between refueling. Moisture and other contamination can ruin the quality of the fuel and cause major malfunctioning of the components in the equipment and vehicles. Your onsite fuel provider is able to ensure that proper storage is maintained.
