Default Own your own fuel truck?

Here's a related question. I own a piece of a private airstrip. We've
got perhaps 50 lots in the development. There's no fuel. It would
seem to be the easiest way to have fuel would be to buy a small fuel
truck and just drive it over to the terminal. There wouldn't be any
public sales, just to the coowners.

Now what would be involved. CDL's and some kind of permits for
hazmat?


If you drive it on the road, yes, a CDL and Hazardous material, and also,
there is a tank truck endorsement.

It really might be easier to get a tank installed, and cheaper. They will
bring the gas to you, and not mess with the truck.

You could then get a truck to drive on the property.

The question if you own your own truck, is whether the local distributors
will sell bulk to you, from their terminal. That is a question you would
have to call around and get answered.
