Over Memorial Day weekend, one San Francisco grocery store had more on its plate than just stocking shelves. With higher foot traffic and increased demand for fresh items, they turned to a temporary refrigerated trailer (or reefer trailer) for overflow storage, and they turned to Hart to keep it powered.
Reefer trailers are a go-to solution for grocery stores during peak shopping holidays like Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the Fourth of July, when demand spikes and cooler space runs out. But these trailers typically hold just 50 gallons of fuel, which means they need frequent refueling, sometimes daily, to keep running.
That’s where Hart stepped in.
Daily Reefer Fueling to Keep Food Fresh
Throughout the holiday weekend, Hart provided daily fuel deliveries to keep the store’s reefer trailer running without interruption. By staying on top of the trailer’s needs, we helped ensure that temperature-sensitive items like produce, meat, and dairy stayed cold and safe for customers, all without the store having to worry about fuel logistics.
Though 50 gallons may not seem like much, keeping small fuel tanks topped off, especially in busy urban areas like San Francisco, takes coordination, timeliness, and a willingness to show up. Many of Hart’s competitors won’t take on small-volume jobs like these, but to Hart, no job is too big or too small.
