A couple basic questions

I think by distribution point he means the place where trucks load and go make their deliveries to stations around an area.

 

Each place was a small tank farm providing storage and TRUCK loading for a brand or two or three.

 

Pretty much local, the exception being ethanol and in some cases jet fuel

 

Ok , I guess. I have seen sleeper trucks out west where there is long distance between towns. But yes they are very few of them.

 

I saw a few sleeper fuel trucks before, I see this one decked out Pete once a month or so pulling diesel fuel on i95 and he has a sleeper, but he looks like an owner, I doubt a company would pay for all that chrome or the ridiculous shifter that is way high and bends down that he has.

I do have to wonder, with all the distribution points on the east coast why anyone would bother with a sleeper unless it was a just in case of traffic thing.

 

It's rare for an O/O because of the bond they must post before they even load. Last time I heard it was around 2 million. But they do exist.

 

Does he have a 1993 placard on it? Could he be hauling bulk bio blend instead?

 

There are several chemical tank farms in the Curtis Bay area, I think there is fuel storage there too, a refinery in Delaware City, DE and a bunch in the Phila, PA area for alternates.

One though would be AV gas going to a remote airport for a longer haul. We used to load in the NE PA area but we drove to Phila for Av Gas.

With the introductions of bio fuels and ethanol blends; the Avation fuels may only be available at a few locations requiring some longer hauls.
