Fleet Fueling Safety Tips for Drivers
Follow these guidelines to stay safe
Part of the job of an Eastern Pennsylvania business owner who uses fleet fueling for his or her company’s vehicles is to help keep drivers safe while they are both on and off the road. Doing so doesn’t have to be complicated, but it should be given the amount of attention it deserves. Oehlert Brothers is here to offer some fleet fueling safety tips!
Safety tips for fleet fueling
Following the below guidelines can help ensure you are going about fleet fueling in the safest way possible:
- Don’t let gas tanks get too low: No one wants to realize that they are low on fuel once they are already out on the road. So every driver should make sure they have enough diesel fuel or gasoline to get wherever he or she needs to go before departing. On top of that, every driver should know where and how he or she can fill up his or her gas tank when necessary.
- Count on trained professionals: Let a company (like Oehlert Brothers!) whose professionals are licensed to meet all state and federal safety regulations help with your fleet fueling needs.
- Don’t slack on vehicle maintenance: Regular and routine maintenance is extremely important when it comes to vehicles. This not only helps improve fuel efficiency, but it also helps keep all drivers and a vehicle’s passengers safe.
- Keep your employees in the know: Take the time to train your employees and drivers on proper fleet fueling procedures so that they know what to do when it is time to re-fuel. Also review how a driver can use your company’s vehicles in the most efficient ways possible.
- Know what to do in an emergency: There should be a carefully thought out emergency plan at any company who uses fleet fueling services. We also recommend always keeping a fire extinguisher on hand!
Fleet fueling with Oehlert Brothers
Here are Oehlert Brothers we like to make things as convenient as possible. That is why we offer two different options when it comes to fleet fueling:
- 24/7 off-site fueling: This is typically the preferred choice for companies with smaller fleets of on-road vehicles. With this option, you take your vehicles to an Oehlert Brothers station for a fuel refill. Customers get a card that provides 24/7 access to a network of more than 130 fueling sites called The Gascard Fuel Management system when they opt into off-site fueling.
- Bulk delivery: With this option companies that have a small fueling station right on their worksite can get large quantities of fuel including off-road diesel fuel, on-road diesel fuel, biodiesel, kerosene, gasoline and heating oil delivered directly to them. There is no more having to drive anywhere to fuel up with a bulk delivery service.
