Timely fleet bulk fuel delivery can help manage fleet fuel costs, fuel consumption and on-site fueling related safety and environmental concerns according to HiWay Fuel Services.
Operating out of Calgary, with locations in Edmonton, Winnipeg and Vancouver, Hiway Fuel Service’s operations manager Anthony Patraszewski says that managed fleet refueling can be boiled down to three fundamental operational decisions: Managing fuel costs and consumption more effectively, enhancing safety, and addressing environmental concerns.
Customized on-site fueling services built from the ground up and unique to every customer helps fleet managers eliminate the cumulative cost of self-fueling vehicles and equipment. Real fuel costs are impacted by travel and pump wait-times as employee’s downtime can run anywhere from 30-45 minutes per unit. These costs can be 7-9&% higher than card-lock or pump prices when labour, fuel consumption and wear and tear are included. Bulk delivery reduces or eliminates hidden costs as well as expensive down-time while ensuring real fuel costs are kept low as a result of increased volume.
Patraszewski says that safety and environmental issues can seriously hamper fleet operations. “All of our employees are highly trained professionals. We adhere to strict ISO standards and safe operating procedures, no matter the weather, time of day or difficulty of the operation. Safety has always be our first concern.”
According to Patrazweski “A fleet bulk refueling service does away with costly environmental clean-up associated with refueling accidents not to mention equipment repairs and increased insurance costs. Consider that productivity suffers as you find yourself short-staffed and falling behind. It begins to add up very, very fast.”?
“We have very high hiring standards, training and operate to very strict standards” says Patrazewski. “In this profession, there is very little room for error. We work hard to maintain consistent standards of service, workplace safety and environmental protection.”
Fleet refueling and fuel-related management costs, including hidden costs associated with safety and environmental issues, can be effectively managed and reduced using a customized bulk fuel delivery program.
