If you’re a contractor, completing a project on time and on budget is challenging enough without the complications of fuel management. If someone forgot to refuel a generator after yesterday’s shift, your project is delayed. And if you have an on-site fuel tank but no way of knowing who is using it, accurate billing is a nightmare.
EquipmentShare’s on-site fuel services use AI-backed data and predictive intelligence to anticipate your fuel needs before problems arise. It’s a reliable way to guard against unplanned downtime and lets you deal with just one vendor for both equipment and fuel.
“We can make sure fuel is one less thing you have to worry about,” said Nate Brown, the general manager of EquipmentShare’s Advanced Solutions branch in San Diego.
EquipmentShare offers diesel, dyed diesel, renewable diesel, DEF, gasoline and propane for projects of all sizes. And the T3® platform, which comes standard on EquipmentShare rentals and can be purchased for your owned fleet, is a valuable tool for fuel management. T3 provides 24/7 fuel-level monitoring and machine run-time tracking. It allows you to remotely monitor your equipment’s fuel levels — as well as oil, coolant and DEF — and set alerts for low levels. With AI-driven analytics, T3 predicts refueling needs based on equipment behavior and site conditions.
You can use T3’s Fuel Consumption Report to dig even deeper into the fuel use of your fleet over time to help you see trends and predict future needs and cost. The report tells you the percentage of your fuel being used by idling equipment, giving you the info you need to address that issue with your team — or with individual operators — and then measure the results.
A recent example of how EquipmentShare’s on-site fuel services can eliminate costly delays was a summer project in Arizona that required an HVAC setup powered by a generator that ran 24/7. The contractor initially planned for his team to keep the generator fueled.
“The first time it ran out of fuel and it killed the AC system, he changed his mind,” Brown said. “From that point on, we were doing fuel drops every three days.”
Brown’s team calculated the customer’s fuel burn rate based on the generator’s load, which was monitored remotely with T3. Using predictive data from T3, the team could anticipate exactly when refueling was needed, preventing costly power interruptions.
When EquipmentShare establishes an on-site branch to service the biggest jobsites, it can provide mobile wet nozzle service. In that scenario, an EquipmentShare employee drives around the site and fills machines before their tanks run low using a mobile fuel trailer. Through site-wide connectivity, EquipmentShare ensures that communication between teams, machines and fueling services remains constant — even across the largest projects. Custom-built communications towers, Starlink and 5G coverage keep every site connected and operational.
EquipmentShare also offers on-site fuel service to contractors on smaller jobs by arranging delivery of fuel to the jobsite, either on a set schedule or as it’s requested. Nancy Chance, a territory account manager for EquipmentShare’s Core Solutions branch in Houston, said EquipmentShare’s on-site fuel service is popular on new construction sites in her area.
Even on smaller projects, predictive refueling powered by T3, ensures the right amount of fuel reaches the right place at the right time.
“If I know a place is going up that doesn’t have power around it, that’s when I start talking to the superintendent from the very beginning to let them know I can take care of fuel before their permanent power is set up,” Chance said. “It’s a headache dealing with fuel. You can pay a person to manage it, or you can have me do it.”
From massive megasites to single-job setups, EquipmentShare’s predictive on-site fueling and AI-driven monitoring eliminate guesswork, giving you one less thing to worry about.
