What "on-site fuel delivery" actually means
On-site fuel delivery (sometimes called mobile fueling or wet hosing) is simple: a licensed fuel truck comes to your jobsite, yard, or facility and fills your equipment, storage tank, or generator where it sits. Nobody drives a pickup to a card-lock at 6 a.m., nobody logs receipts, and no machine burns billable hours idling in a fuel line. The fuel meets the work.
SolidSite runs this across Greater Houston and the Rio Grande Valley. We self-deliver diesel — clear (road) and off-road (dyed) — in non-bulk tank packaging within our service zone. Gasoline, bulk loads, and specialty fuels are arranged through licensed, HAZMAT-certified fuel partners on the same ticket and the same invoice.
Who needs it
- Equipment fleets — excavators, dozers, loaders, compactors, and pickups on an active dirt or build site.
- Standby & backup generators — hospitals, data rooms, class-A commercial, and critical facilities that run gensets on diesel.
- Yard and pad tanks — a 250- or 500-gallon on-site tank feeding a crew, which we can rent to you with the pump.
- Oil & gas operations — pad and support-equipment diesel in the RGV and around Houston.
- Events and temporary power — festivals, race days, and venues running on generator power.
If any of those describe you, an off-site fuel run is a hidden tax on your day — labor, mileage, spillage, and the risk of a machine going dry mid-shift.
One-time vs standing (keep-full) delivery
This is the decision most buyers get wrong, so here's the plain version.
One-time fill. Best when your fuel need is a spike, not a pattern — a weekend event, a two-week workover, a single generator top-off, or a stopgap while you sort out a supplier. You call, we schedule, we meter the fill, you sign the ticket. Simple, but the per-gallon spread is higher because the truck rolls just for you.
Standing (keep-full) route. Best when usage is predictable and continuous — an active site burning diesel every day, a genset that has to stay topped, a multi-machine fleet. You set a cadence (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly), we build you into a route, and the tank or fleet stays full without you thinking about it. Because the truck is already in the area, standing accounts get better routing and a tighter per-gallon number than one-offs.
Rule of thumb: if you'd have to think about fuel more than once, put it on a schedule.
What a delivery looks like
- Driver arrives in the scheduled window.
- Driver confirms the receiving tank or equipment tag before pumping — right fuel, right machine.
- Metered fill. You sign the pump-meter ticket showing gallons, fuel type, time, and equipment ID.
- You keep a copy in hand and get one by email — your job-costing record and our proof of delivery.
No "trust us" gallons, no GPS gimmicks — a signed, metered number you can reconcile. Every truck carries a spill kit and follows EPA spill procedures.
Setting up an account
First delivery needs a quick credit check and a signed fuel-supply agreement plus a fuel-type declaration (clear vs. off-road), which keeps your tickets and taxes clean. Fifteen minutes, once. After that you call or text dispatch and you're on the route. Qualified accounts bill net-30.
