3 Ways To Determine Your Company Needs for Emergency Fueling
Emergency fueling is needed when you least expect it and when disaster comes. Instead of scrambling around to solve a crisis or to figure out your fueling needs, you can set up a contract for emergency fueling ahead of time. With emergency fuel services, you have the opportunity to set up services ahead of time.
When a disaster does strike, you will have services set in place, which can make the process go much smoother. As you set up an initial contract, learn what needs to consider and include with your agreement. Having everything ahead of time will ensure you don't shorthand yourself in the future.
1. Fleet Fueling Needs
If you have company vehicles, then you can ensure they remain fully fueled during a disaster with fleet fueling services. A fuel truck can park right at your business and provide gas for all of your company vehicles. Consider the number of company vehicles you have and how many you will need in operation for your service.
Based on the number of vehicles, an emergency service can determine how much fuel you will need. The length of the disaster will also make a difference as well, so you may want to consider a little extra fuel to help support vehicles that may need more than one tank of gas.
If fuel lines get shut down or are non-operational, then your fleet could become crucial. You do not want all of your workers stranded or without the proper vehicles to complete operations.
2. Fueling Trucks for Generators
Whether you have company vehicles or not, you may need to keep business running as your local area goes through a natural disaster. One way to help with this is through generators. You may have whole-building generators or generators that you connect to supply power. The access to power can connect you to the internet and supply other power needs.
You can set up a plan that provides fueling trucks to supply enough fuel for your generators. You will not need to fill up small gas cans or visit overcrowded gas stations if fuel line access is still available. The fueling trucks will supply you with all the fuel you need and come directly to the generator so you do not need to travel anywhere else.
Through an agreement, you can arrange to have fueling trucks stay on your premises throughout the disaster and continue to supply fuel to the generators. The amount of fuel needed will depend on the generators you need for your business and how much fuel each one takes. An oil company can help you calculate these costs.
3. Personal Employee Services
When a natural disaster strikes, you may want to provide aid to your employees as well. The aid can come as personal generator fuel for their homes or fueling trucks to create makeshift filling stations for their vehicles. The services you supply will determine how much fuel you need along with the number of employees you have.
The service can help your employees thrive and allow them to return back to the office as needed. A fuel company will base the fuel needed based on your employee pool and the number of vehicles driven to work each day.
You may also consider different fuel station areas if you have different company locations or want to supply an area that is closer to specific neighborhoods. When you figure this all out ahead of time, you will not need to worry about specific logistics or other issues with the emergency fueling.
