What Sets Us Apart
- Advanced Technology
- Commitment to Safety
Now in its third generation of family ownership, McAlister has been providing fuel services to customers since the 1930s. Our longevity speaks to the priority we place on customer satisfaction, the latest industry technology and a commitment to safety.
Advanced Technology
With our advanced fueling event technology, we are able to track everything about a fueling event in real-time right from our headquarters, which provides ultimate accountability to our customers.
All McAlister trucks are equipped with onboard computers that are associated with the identity of the truck and driver. The computer data provides a GPS location of the truck, the time and date of delivery and the amount of fuel that was delivered as well as other critical information. Our customers are able to access and utilize the data to improve their processes and increase efficiency.
Safety
Because of our commitment to safety, McAlister has one of the best safety audit averages in the country. In fact, our on-highway safety scores have allowed us to become certified as a Department of Defense qualified carrier. Not only do all McAlister drivers undergo a stringent background screening process, they receive ongoing training and testing to ensure they continue to meet standards and are well-prepared for challenges.
Our Services
We have been working with the railroad industry for more than 25 years and we know what it takes to make refueling your locomotives a seamless process, reducing dwell times and increasing overall velocity. Managing train schedules and ensuring we are there when you need us has been a mainstay of the McAlister standard of service.
Locomotive and Commercial Fueling
McAlister provides Direct-to-Locomotive (DTL) and commercial fueling. We have specialized trucks and experienced drivers who know how to complete each job safely and efficiently. McAlister also offers fueling for specialized commercial equipment such as generators, refrigerated units and small tanks.
