As winter storms approach, it’s crucial to prepare for extreme weather to ensure safe and uninterrupted propane deliveries. At Mid Atlantic Propane Exchange, we are committed to keeping your operations running smoothly, even in challenging conditions. Here are key steps to help us deliver your propane safely and efficiently during and after a storm.
1. Keep Parking & Receiving Areas Clear
To facilitate timely and secure propane deliveries, please ensure that your parking lots and receiving areas are plowed and free of snow accumulation. Our trucks require sufficient space to maneuver safely, and a clear path will prevent unnecessary delays.
2. Salt & De-Ice All Access Points
Ice can create hazardous conditions for our drivers and your staff. Apply salt or ice melt to walkways, driveways, and delivery areas to reduce the risk of slips and falls. This proactive measure will not only ensure our team’s safety but also expedite the delivery process.
3. Ensure Propane Tanks Are Accessible
Drifting snow can quickly cover access points to propane tanks. Please clear any snow or ice buildup around tanks, hatches, and fill points to prevent delays and make the refueling process efficient.
4. Plan Ahead & Monitor Propane Levels
Winter storms can disrupt regular delivery schedules, so it’s vital to monitor your propane levels and schedule deliveries in advance. If a storm is forecasted, consider placing an early order to avoid potential supply interruptions.
5. Stay Informed & Communicate with Us
Severe weather conditions can lead to road closures and schedule adjustments. Stay connected with Mid Atlantic Propane Exchange for updates on delivery schedules, service changes, or safety recommendations. If there are any changes in your operations, let us know so we can work together to meet your needs.
By taking these precautions, you can help us ensure timely propane deliveries, keeping your business operational and safe throughout the winter season. If you have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to contact our team.
