Fueling the Food

The trucks at the loading docks of 70 South Bay are kept fueled up and ready to go thanks to Diesel Direct.

In the over 40 years that The Greater Boston Food Bank has served our Eastern Massachusetts community with fresh, nutritious food—not once have our trucks ever run out of gas. That’s because of Diesel Direct.

Transportation Supervisor Matt Maguire confirms, “We pay fair market value for fuel, and the service they provide is outstanding. Every Tuesday and Thursday, Diesel Direct team members are on site at the crack of dawn fueling our trucks. It’s just one less thing our drivers have to worry about.”

Whether drivers are responsible for a reload, or making two deliveries in one trip, or backloading, picking up product on their way back to the warehouse, they only have to worry about one thing: getting fresh food to their destinations.

“Over 600 agencies rely on our fleet of tractor-trailers, it’s critical for us to always be prepared.” Matt smiles, “And thanks to Diesel Direct—we always are.”
