Transport & Logistics
We coordinate connections between fuel buyers and verified transport providers to ensure reliable delivery from terminal to destination.
Transport Modes
Understanding your transport options is key to efficient fuel logistics. Here is a plain-English overview of each mode.
Truck / Tanker
Over-the-road fuel delivery using tanker trucks. Best for terminal-to-destination deliveries, smaller volumes, and locations without rail or pipeline access. Typical loads range from 7,500 to 9,000 gallons.
Common Use Cases:
- Rack lifts to end-user locations
- Last-mile delivery from terminals
- Flexible scheduling and routes
Rail
Bulk fuel transport via tank cars. Efficient for large volumes over long distances. Requires rail-served terminal or transload facility at origin and destination.
Common Use Cases:
- High-volume, scheduled shipments
- Long-distance transport
- Cost-effective for bulk quantities
Pipeline
Direct pipeline transport between connected terminals and refineries. Most cost-effective for large volumes but limited to pipeline-connected locations.
Common Use Cases:
- Refinery to terminal movements
- High-volume continuous supply
- Terminal-to-terminal transfers
Marine / Barge
Waterborne transport via barge or vessel. Ideal for coastal and inland waterway movements, particularly along the Gulf Coast and major rivers.
Common Use Cases:
- Gulf Coast port-to-port deliveries
- Large volume coastal movements
- Import/export operations
