Why fueling yourself costs more than the fuel
The gallons are only part of the bill. Every time a machine leaves the dig to top off — or a laborer spends an hour a day dragging a slip tank to the nearest cardlock — you're paying loaded labor and giving up production time. On a busy site those minutes add up fast: a crew of 8 machines refueling three times a week at 30 minutes a trip is 12 hours a week of paid time spent not building. At $65 loaded, that's over $40,000 a year — before you count the fuel itself, spillage, or a machine that sat idle waiting on fuel.
On-site delivery removes that entirely: the fuel comes to the equipment, on a schedule, metered and logged. Your crew stays on task and you get one clean invoice instead of a stack of pump receipts.
