Steel mills, a rail hub and the 2011 tornado in Birmingham
Serving Jefferson County
Birmingham was built on steel, and the metro still makes it. U.S. Steel’s Fairfield Works, southwest of the city, runs an electric arc furnace rated at 1.6 million tons a year. It feeds the seamless pipe mill next door. Scrap handlers, loaders and haul trucks at a mill like that run on off-road diesel.
Rail freight moves through Jefferson County too. Norfolk Southern opened its Birmingham Regional Intermodal Facility in McCalla in 2012, on a 316-acre site. Containers come off the train there and onto drayage trucks for the run into the metro.
UAB Hospital has 1,400 beds and ranked as the fifth-largest hospital in the nation in 2026. A hospital that size depends on standby generators and full tanks.
Tornado country
On April 27, 2011, an EF4 tornado with winds up to 190 mph tracked more than 80 miles from Tuscaloosa into Birmingham’s western suburbs, through Pleasant Grove and Concord. It killed 65 people. When a storm like that drops the lines, generator fuel is what keeps hospitals, plants and pump stations running until the grid comes back.
Fill generator tanks and test stored fuel before storm season, not after the sirens.

How Fuel Gets to You
Mobile fueling or bulk delivery: which fits your Birmingham site?
Three delivery formats. We’ll quote whichever fits your volume, site access and cost target.
Wet-Hose Fueling
Mobile fleet fueling
Overnight or day shift, fuel direct to each tank
A driver pulls into your yard after hours, fuels every truck or piece of equipment directly, logs each fill, and clears out before your crews arrive. No staff required on site.
Best for: Trucking fleets, delivery yards, rental fleets and service vehicles.
Tank Wagon Delivery
On-site tank fills
20 – 4,400 gallons per drop · same-day or scheduled
A smaller delivery truck fills your day tank, jobsite bulk tank or generator. The flexible option when volume varies or site access is tight.
Best for: Construction sites, generator refills, day tanks and smaller bulk storage.
Transport Load
Bulk transport delivery
Full transport loads to 7,500+ gallons · scheduled
Tractor-trailer delivery straight into large bulk storage. The lowest cost per gallon for high-volume buyers.
Best for: Data centers, large industrial sites, agriculture and rail yards.
