When the Government Shuts Down, DKB Stays On

The last week has given us about a $.15 pull back in pricing, putting us back into the middle of that summer range.    As we head into the fall, it has become increasingly more difficult to assess a market direction.  Most notably is the current government shutdown and what that means for not only the fuel industry, but the economy as a whole.   A variety of permits, authorizations, and leases are granted on a daily basis to the fuel industry and even the slightest of stoppage will cause a backlog.  Add into that the influence of the weekly inventory reports provided by the government agencies, one that this week again showed demand for finished products still soft, it makes you wonder what is at stake.  Also makes me wonder why we still pay taxes during a government shutdown?  One thing you don’t have to worry about is DKB ever shutting down.  With redundant supply points, overlapping trucking positions, and a 24x7 Operations Team, you can have peace of mind we will be there when you need us.  Take it a step further, with our tank monitoring system, your fuel deliveries can go virtually unnoticed.  It is time to start thinking about winter, always a good time to freshen up fill covers and tank access to make sure deliveries go smooth.
