I was kind of curious when I was filling up at the local Shell station and noticed an unfamiliar tanker truck off loading. So I sent the following email:
Hi Mark,
I am a customer of the Truenorth chain of Shell fuel stations. I've noticed that Shell fuel is listed as a Toptiergas.com retailer. I like the Truenorth chain because the stations appear to be newer and cleaner than some other Shell stations. Over the years I've noticed the nice, clean and shiny fuel trucks that had Shell written on the tanker trucks.
Recently, I've noticed non-Shell trucks filling the tanks at the Westlake location. Not sure I'm too fond of this. Especially, since it's the same company that fills the tanks up at Costco in Avon. Just wondering what happened? Thank you,
Dave
Dave, Thanks for your observation. We have a lot of our trucks now have a True North wrap instead of the Shell wrap on them and there are time where the demand might be too great for our own fleet, that we do use outside common carriers. No matter what the circumstances are, it is Shell Gasoline.
Thank you,
Mark
***This company owns 110 Shell stations. After I sent the email I noticed the location in question is NOT on their list of stations anymore. So they may have sold it recently. All circumstantial I know.
