4 key steps to ensure your fuel delivery in an emergency
To ensure fuel and product delivery in an emergency, it is important to follow these steps (more information on our emergency management page):
1. Know your account representative
It is crucial that you know your Account Representative, who handles your requests. During an emergency, the volume of requests can be high, so having an established relationship with your representative will expedite the delivery process.
2. Make sure your account is active
We understand an “active” account to be an account that has received at least one delivery in the last 12 months to ensure that details of fuel delivery in an emergency are up to date and our drivers and field personnel are familiar with your facilities.
3. Make sure you have the necessary information when requesting a delivery
It is important to provide accurate information including gallonage and product needed, sleeve feet for delivery, exact location and address, payment/price confirmation and contact details.
4. Allow for delivery time in case of emergencies
In regular situations, a delivery can be requested 24 hours in advance, but in case of fuel delivery in an emergency, a minimum of 36 hours in advance is required to ensure timely delivery due to the high volume of calls and deliveries.
