The first fuel order at a new jobsite
A new site often has no tank, no gate routine, and a ZIP the office has never ordered for. The first quote should admit that.
Start with the truck that fits week one
If there is no tank yet, ask for a tank wagon and wet hose, and give a unit count and a gallon estimate. If the tank is set and the pad can take a transport, say that and give the tank size. Switching the story after the truck is loaded is how minimums and compartments get wasted.
Pick dyed diesel or ULSD for the iron and trucks you will actually run that week. Add gasoline only if a gasoline tank exists. Add DEF if the highway trucks will live on that site.
Cover the ZIP before you promise the superintendent
Search the site ZIP. If the rank is empty, no published distributor covers it for that fuel yet. A company in the nearest big city is not a match unless their radius or a listed place reaches you. Read the state page for the corridor, then quote a company that is actually on the list.
Save the quote on one profile. When they answer, you will know whether week two can move from hose jobs to a standing tank drop.
Questions
What if the address is so new it has a weak ZIP match?
Use the five-digit ZIP the site will actually use. Bulk Fueling looks up that ZIP’s centroid. If the ZIP is missing from the table, the search will say so.
Can I schedule a month of drops in one note?
You can say the job length. The distributor still confirms each load. The form is one request, not a blanket purchase order.
