Quick Fuel Fleet Services has opened its first automated commercial fleet fueling station in the state of Florida, located at 9699 Sidney Hayes Road, just west of the Orlando International Airport. The Orlando station is the first of several future Quick Fuel stations planned for central and southern Florida. Built in the middle of a growing industrial and commercial corridor, the new unattended facility enables fleets to fuel faster than they would at traditional retail stations, lowering fleet’s bottom-line fuel costs and increasing their efficiency. Quick Fuel stations speed up the fueling process because drivers activate dispensers with proprietary fuel cards and never have to wait in line and pay. In addition, Quick Fuel facilities are designed exclusively for large commercial vehicles with wide fueling lanes, high-speed dispensers, and easy access from major trucking routes. Drivers can fuel quickly and then promptly return to serving customers. Quick Fuel pioneered the concept of automated fleet fueling in Wisconsin during the mid-1980s. The demand for Quick Fuel’s services grew rapidly following the deregulation of trucking and the implementation of stringent EPA underground storage tank regulations in the 1980s and 1990s, which forced fleets to look for ways to become more competitive. Today, Quick Fuel offers fleets a rapidly expanding network of 45 fueling facilities in major cities throughout the Southeast and Midwest. The company recently formed a joint venture with Exxon Mobil Corp.
