Two new trucks being delivered early next week.
Landed a major new north east client with 12 locations earlier this week.
2024 is off to a hot start aside from the few delinquent dump truck clients
Do you have go-to fueling spots in the winter months?
We notice some fleets only show up in the winter at our exxon mobil branded locations.
One of the most important parts of selling to fleets is managing everyones expectations.
Clients usually call an order in last minute.
Its easy to yes them and get them off the phone but its better to tell them when the order will actually show up, even if it isn't what they want to hear.
Why you should not send your trucks to a truck stop and get direct fueling.
Quick math
30 trucks Half hour per day per truck to fuel at a truck stop
$40/ hour labor/worker comp/insurance
290 days a year
$174k in labor saved
$50k for a delivery service you’ll save $124k plus opportunity cost
Keeping our drivers in tonight due to icy conditions.
Snow stopped a few hours ago, turned to rain and now the temps are dropping into the 20’s.
Got some grief from clients but safety is always our priority.
There is always tomorrow.
Stay safe out there.
The fact that oil is not surging in price right now is somewhat confusing.
Traditionally we've seen 10 cent per gallon swings where there is a hint of a disruption overseas.
At this time we can only speculate as to why the price has stability.

Curious - at what low/cold temp do you idle your truck to protect batteries and/or keep the oil/fuel/def warm (with or without an apu/bunk heater and using anti-gel)
