If your company has a fleet of vehicles, then keeping them fueled is an essential part of your business. It’s important for those vehicles to stay running, after all. It may seem like the best option is to send each vehicle to a retail location to fill up, but fleet fueling might actually be the solution you need.
What is Fleet Fueling?
Fleet fueling is where instead of sending your drivers to go fill up with fuel, the fuel comes to you. A bulk fuel company will send a truck filled with the exact amount of fuel you need for easy on-site fueling.
Why Fleet Fueling?
There are lots of great reasons why fleet fueling might be the right solution for your fleet. Here are just a few:
Save driver time
Your driver will no longer have to spend time out of their day to refuel their vehicle, which means you’re not paying them to stand at the pump.
Reduce fraud and mistakes
It’s not hard to lump purchases of food and drink into fueling at a gas station and report the expense as entirely fuel. It’s also possible for drivers to forget to turn in receipts or miscalculate the miles per gallon of their vehicle. Fleet fueling eliminates the driver element altogether to eliminate fraud and reduce chances of human error.
Save mileage
It costs, on average, $1.38 per mile to operate a fleet vehicle. If you have ten vehicles and they each have to go 3 miles out of their way to find a fueling station, that’s $82.20 you’re spending to refuel your fleet – every time they need fuel! Onsite delivery removes those costs.
No need for on-site storage
You don’t have to take on any of the risks or liability of on-site fuel storage. That’s one less thing for you to worry about!
Better pricing
A good fleet fueler will have wholesale pricing and bulk fuel discounts, meaning you can save money on the fuel you need to run your fleet. Because you’re ordering fuel and not just filling up, you’ll also know exactly how much you’re going to be paying in advance. You’ll also have a detailed invoice instead of just gas station receipts.
