Dense, heavy, and often regulated, packaged fuel, oil, and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) don’t ship like ordinary freight.
FLI moves palletized lubricants, drummed oil, totes, and cased DEF through a vetted national network matched to the weight, handling, and compliance your product demands, so deliveries arrive full, sealed, and on schedule, load after load.
Recurring replenishment to auto parts retailers, truck stops, fleet yards, quick-lube shops, and industrial accounts leaves no room for damaged drums or missed delivery windows.
FLI’s Less-Than-Truckload and Truckload services keep your packaged fuel, oil, and diesel exhaust fluid moving efficiently, compliantly, and on time, with a dedicated account team that knows what it takes to move heavy, liquid, and regulated freight.
Liquid products in drums, totes, and cases carry complications ordinary freight doesn’t:
Oil, lubricants, and diesel exhaust fluids are dense. Palletized drums and totes often hit weight limits fast, and pricing is driven by weight and freight class. Correct classification keeps costs predictable.
A breached drum or shifted tote isn't just a claim, it's a cleanup. Proper palletization, securement, and handling protect the product and the trailer.
Certain fuels, additives, and flammable lubricants are DOT-regulated, requiring hazmat-endorsed carriers, correct labeling, placarding, and shipping papers. Errors mean fines and rejected freight.
Diesel exhaust fluid degrades with contamination and temperature extremes. It needs clean handling and carriers who understand the product.
Multi-stop, recurring delivery programs demand consistent capacity and carriers who show up on schedule.
Liftgate, inside delivery, and limited-access sites, like truck stops and fleet yards, are routine cost and coordination points.
FLI matches every shipment to the right mode and the right carrier from a network of 7,000+ trusted carriers, including hazmat-endorsed carriers where your product requires them, so regulated, heavy freight moves through qualified hands, not whoever’s cheapest that day.
