Shortage Sweeping the Southeast (Photo: WEX)
The broken pipeline runs from Houston to New York and carries
gas to much of the Southeast and East Coast. After a 330,000 gallon
spill caused the pipeline to rupture, the Southeast region is
experiencing a severe gas shortage and rising fuel prices. Alabama,
Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia
have all declared a current state of emergency.
WEX Connect assists drivers and fleet managers in the Southeast
region in finding fuel and service stations in operation in their
area through a convenient mobile app available on Android, iPhone
and iPad devices. With WEX Connect, drivers and mangers can find
the most cost effective type of fuel they need, and search for
service stations based on brand, distance and service type.
“The current predicament in the Southeast region requires
further planning for fleet managers and added preparedness from
drivers in the area. As the situation continues to unfold, we want
to remind all that WEX Connect is here as a resource during this
trying time when finding accessible fuel stations is of the upmost
importance,” said Bernie Kavanagh, senior vice president and
general manager for North American fleet for WEX.
WEX Connect obtains its data from WEX’s proprietary fuel
management network, which connects thousands of fuel and service
stations across the United States and delivers up-to-date station
information. Leveraging the pricing date from the fuel purchases
made by WEX fleet card users, the app is able to calculate the most
fiscally efficient fuel station factoring in both price and
distance.
