Natural disasters don’t wait until you're ready—so why should your disaster plan? Whether it's the unpredictable storms of hurricane season or the cold grip of winter, your fleet must be prepared for any scenario. At Diesel Direct, we understand the challenges fleets face during extreme weather, which is why we’ve developed comprehensive Emergency Fuel Management Programs to ensure your business stays operational when disaster strikes.
Severe weather events are becoming more frequent and their impacts more severe. The devastation left by hurricanes like Milton demonstrates how quickly things can escalate. Damaged roads, power outages, and fuel shortages can halt operations, leaving fleets unable to perform critical tasks. That’s why it’s essential to take action before the storm hits.
Here’s how to proactively protect your fleet and keep your business moving:
- Fuel Up in Advance: Fuel availability often becomes scarce during disasters. Don’t wait until the last minute—make sure all vehicles are fully fueled ahead of a forecasted storm to avoid disruption. With Diesel Direct’s Business Continuity Programs, we ensure your fleet has access to fuel no matter the conditions, so you're always ready.
- Relocate Assets if Possible: If your fleet is in the path of a severe storm, have a plan to move equipment to safer locations. By relocating trucks and equipment, you reduce the risk of damage and downtime. Diesel Direct offers assistance in developing fleet relocation strategies to help safeguard your assets.
- Stay Informed and Prioritize Safety: Keeping your team safe is the top priority. Stay up-to-date with local weather alerts, and don’t hesitate to suspend deliveries or routes if conditions become unsafe. Diesel Direct also helps you navigate fuel shortages, with 24/7 Priority Fueling and on-site services to ensure your fleet remains fueled when local infrastructure is impacted.
Though hurricanes are top of mind now, winter storms are just around the corner. High winds, ice, and snow can be just as disruptive to your fleet, so make sure your plan includes preparedness for all seasons. From backup generator fueling to fleet-specific fuel delivery, Diesel Direct’s business continuity programs are designed to minimize downtime and ensure your fleet stays operational year-round.
Our Key Solutions:
- Guaranteed Fuel Supply during emergencies, ensuring your vehicles have the fuel needed to keep moving.
- 24/7 Fueling Support to respond to critical situations at any time.
- On-Site Fueling Services for vehicles, equipment, and generators when accessing traditional fueling infrastructure is impossible.
