Nobody calls a fuel delivery company for the first time during a hurricane. By that point, delivery windows are stretched, drivers are limited, and regional fuel supplies are constrained by the same disaster that created your need. The businesses and facilities that get fuel during emergencies are almost always those that established a relationship with a provider before the crisis hit.
One of the most common failure points in emergency fuel planning is operating without a defined minimum fuel level. Set a hard policy: every generator tank, bulk storage tank, and fleet vehicle on your fuel-critical asset list must be maintained at or above a minimum fill level at all times. For most operations, a 50% minimum is a reasonable baseline. For life-safety facilities, 65–75% is more appropriate.
This is the step most businesses skip — and it's the most important one. Tankr's emergency delivery program requires a prior account relationship. Businesses that call during a declared emergency without an existing account are deprioritized behind existing customers, simply due to logistics and resource constraints. Setting up an account with Tankr takes about 15 minutes and costs nothing upfront.

Generator failures during hurricanes have shut down hospitals. Fleet operators have lost perishable cargo because reefer units ran dry. In almost every case, the root cause traces back to reactive fuel management. A 30-minute planning conversation with Tankr today eliminates that risk entirely.
