There is a Loves near my house, so I stop in there frequently on the way home to top off, transflo the week's bills, etc. I chat with the tanker drivers occasionally and they seem to like pulling for Gemini. They have a pretty low turnover, that's for sure.
All Diesel that comes out of Kinder Morgan in Central Florida is blended automatic at the farm. It is a 4% blend and therefor they are not required to advertise such, any blend of 5% or more must be advertised as such in Florida. Loves is starting a pilot program and only in a few areas are they testing the 80/20 bio blend Ft Pierce, florida being one of those areas, they have four tanks one of which is holding strictly Bio the blend is sutomatic when you fuel up, just like a mid grade blend at most gas stations. By law they have to inform the consumer prior to fueling. As far as the Gemini Drivers here in Orlando area they too are happy and have little turnover as well. I tried to get on with them before Mansfield came to town two years ago but was not hired, everything for a reason as I could'nt be more happier then I am with Mansfield and have no plans of leaving..
Bio is the wave of the future and Mansfield is the heavy hitter in Central Florida we hold and sell our own inventory, couple that with our fuel and DEF inventory and there is plenty of work to go around PLUS...
