    Was wondering is jet fuel busy all year or is there a slow season. I’ve heard on here that gas slows down during winter months and picks up in spring. One company in my neck of the woods hauls both gas and jet fuel, others just gas. Looking to get into fuel hauling.

    Depends where you are. I can imagine in New York you do have seasons where it does get slow. But out here in Las Vegas it really doesn't slow down. Not enough where you could notice. Jet-A is a different story. The airport has it's own pipeline so no one hauls jet fuel to the airport. Once in awhile a driver might get a load going north to a base that does not exist. Oh wait, now the government has said it does exist. A load going to Area 51 at the Nellis AFB. It all depends on the area. I know San Diego gets loads by truck. I know one driver that's all he does, run loads of Jet-A to the airport. You'll have to ask the driver in your area how many loads per day.

    We stay steady year round. AvGas slows some during the winter, but jet is always busy.
