Exigo Fuels vs Diesel Direct: Florida Fuel Delivery Compared
Both Exigo Fuels and Diesel Direct operate the on-site mobile fueling model — tanker trucks that deliver diesel and gasoline directly to customer equipment, generators, marine vessels, and yard tanks. The honest comparison is not about category but about footprint, dispatch base, and operational density. This page lays out the differences so a Florida procurement lead, fleet manager, or facility director can decide which model fits the operation.
TL;DR — Quick Verdict
Choose Exigo Fuels if:
- Your operation is in Miami-Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach County
- You want local dispatch from Hialeah, not routed in from out of state
- You want contracted hurricane-season priority for Florida named-storm events
- You need tiered emergency response — 1-hour, 2-hour, or 4-hour windows for contracted accounts
- You prefer a regional specialist where the dispatcher knows your route and equipment
Choose Diesel Direct if:
- You operate in multiple states and want a single national fuel partner
- You want consolidated invoicing across multi-region accounts
- You prefer the operational scale of a company that describes itself as "the nation's largest mobile on-site fueling company" (per Diesel Direct's LinkedIn profile)
- You have facilities in markets where Diesel Direct already runs daily routes
For Florida-only operations, a regional specialist is typically the right fit. For multi-state operations with Florida as one node, a national operator can simplify procurement. Both are legitimate models — the choice depends on your footprint, not on which company is "better."
1. Service Area Comparison
Service area is the comparison point most worth getting right before any other evaluation, because it determines dispatch density, response time, and how local your fuel partner actually is to the equipment that needs fuel.
Exigo Fuels serves the Southeast Florida tri-county corridor — Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties — across 18 cities from Homestead in the south to Wellington and Boynton Beach to the north. Dispatch operates 24/7 from Hialeah, with normal-traffic response windows of roughly 30 to 60 minutes into Miami-Dade, 60 to 90 minutes into Broward, and 60 to 120 minutes into Palm Beach. Coverage is on-site mobile delivery — DOT tankers loaded at Port Everglades and Port Miami racks and dispatched directly to customer equipment, tanks, and vessels. The entire fleet, dispatch, and management team is based in Florida and operates only in Florida.
Diesel Direct, per the company's LinkedIn profile, was founded in 1998 and is headquartered at "74 Maple Street, Stoughton, MA 02072, US" with a secondary location in Sacramento, California. The company describes itself on LinkedIn as "the nation's largest mobile on-site fueling company." Diesel Direct operates as a multi-state mobile fueling network. We have not verified the company's specific Florida terminal location or dispatch base on Diesel Direct's public materials at the time of writing, so a Florida buyer evaluating Diesel Direct should ask Diesel Direct sales which terminal would dispatch trucks for their account and what response windows the local dispatch supports.

2. Service Offerings
Because both companies operate the on-site mobile fueling model, the service catalogs are highly overlapping — which is honest. The differentiator is not which categories are offered, but how local dispatch is to the assets that need fuel.
Exigo Fuels offers: on-site fuel delivery to equipment, day tanks, and yard tanks; bulk fuel delivery from 250 gallons up through multi-tanker projects of 50,000+ gallons; generator refueling for hospitals, data centers, telecom, and other NFPA 110 critical infrastructure; fleet fueling at customer yards (wet-hosing); marine and dockside fueling at Port Everglades, Port Miami, and regional commercial marinas; reefer fueling for refrigerated transport; fuel polishing for tanks with water, sediment, or microbial contamination; equipment rental (loan tanks and pumps) on supply contracts; and a hurricane-prep program with priority contracted dispatch during named-storm events. Diesel grades supplied include ASTM D975 ULSD on-road, IRS §4082 red dyed off-road, and B5 biodiesel blend.
Diesel Direct offers, per its LinkedIn page: "generators, bulk deliveries, on-site fueling, diesel fuel, def, emergency response, storm coverage, marine fueling, construction, tank fueling, data center, and Renewable Diesel." The industries Diesel Direct lists serving are "Food & Beverage Transportation Construction Marine Services Energy & Utilities Entertainment Locamotives Airports Agriculture." This lines up with the on-site mobile fueling category and overlaps strongly with Exigo Fuels' service catalog.

3. Response Time and Emergency Dispatch
In on-site mobile fueling, response time is mostly a function of dispatch base distance and route density on a given day — not a function of company size. A national operator with a terminal close to the customer can respond just as quickly as a regional specialist; a national operator routing in from a distant terminal cannot. The honest framing for any Florida buyer is: ask each company where the truck physically dispatches from for your address, and what the realistic response window looks like at 2 a.m. during a hurricane watch.
Exigo Fuels runs 24/7 dispatch from Hialeah and operates a tiered emergency response framework — 1-hour, 2-hour, and 4-hour response windows — exclusively for active contracted customers under a standing supply agreement. Contracted accounts receive priority dispatch during hurricane events, pipeline disruptions, and any critical-infrastructure event where on-site fuel becomes the bottleneck. New customers are scheduled on a planned-delivery basis; the typical first-delivery window is 24 to 48 hours from quote acceptance. Walk-up emergency fuel during a declared storm is not guaranteed for non-contracted accounts — this is intentional, because hurricane-prep customers need to know the trucks are reserved for them.
Diesel Direct lists "emergency response" and "storm coverage" among its services on its LinkedIn page, which is consistent with operating the on-site mobile fueling model. The actual response windows depend on which Diesel Direct terminal serves a given customer. Diesel Direct's public LinkedIn profile lists Stoughton, Massachusetts as the headquarters and Sacramento, California as a secondary location; for Florida coverage, the dispatch terminal would be a question to confirm with Diesel Direct directly. We do not publish a Diesel Direct response-window number we cannot verify.
The honest framing: both companies offer storm and emergency response within the on-site mobile category. The practical question for a Florida buyer is whether the trucks dispatching to your address are based in Florida and reserved for Florida demand during named-storm events, or whether they are part of a multi-state pool that may have competing demand from other regions during the same hurricane window.
4. Pricing and Contracts
Neither Exigo Fuels nor Diesel Direct publishes a fixed retail per-gallon price online — both run commercial pricing structured per account, which is normal for B2B fuel.
Exigo Fuels prices every quote as OPIS Port Everglades or Port Miami daily rack + a transparent per-gallon margin + federal and state taxes where applicable (on-road only — red dyed off-road is tax-exempt under IRS §4082). OPIS is the Oil Price Information Service daily terminal rack benchmark, and using OPIS as the basis means the gallon price floats with the wholesale market rather than being marked up off a private index. Margin scales down with volume — accounts moving 5,000+ gallons per month unlock a first-tier discount, 15,000+ gallons per month moves to a second tier. Commercial credit is offered as Net-10, Net-15, or Net-30 on approved credit, with first deliveries typically running on prepay or credit card while the credit application clears in 2–5 business days. Every invoice itemizes rack + margin + tax separately, so there is no "fully-loaded" gallon price hiding the breakdown.
Diesel Direct's pricing structure is not publicly stated on the company's LinkedIn profile, and we have not verified specific pricing language on Diesel Direct's public-facing website at the time of writing. National mobile fueling operators typically price off a regional terminal rack benchmark plus a per-account margin, but the actual structure for any given Diesel Direct customer is set during the application and account-setup process. A buyer evaluating both companies on price should request a written quote from each on the same volume and product specification, on the same business day, and compare margin and benchmark side-by-side.
Important caveat: per-gallon prices in commercial fuel are quoted live against a market that moves daily, so this comparison page does not list any specific dollar figure for either company. The most useful pricing comparison is benchmark-and-margin on apples-to-apples product, not a single quote on a single day.
5. Customer Fit — Who Should Choose Which
The decision between Exigo Fuels and Diesel Direct usually breaks down to footprint and how Florida fits into your overall procurement picture.
Exigo Fuels is best for: Florida-only or Florida-dominant B2B operations that want a regional specialist with concentrated dispatch, hurricane-season priority for contracted Florida accounts, and direct relationships with local dispatchers who know the ports, the jobsites, and the marine docks. That includes generator-critical facilities (hospitals, data centers, telecom central offices, water treatment plants, NFPA 110 Level 1 backup systems), commercial marine operators at Port Everglades and Port Miami, construction contractors with jobsite tanks and Tier 4 Final equipment, agricultural operators in western Palm Beach and south Miami-Dade running irrigation pumps and tractors, hospitality properties with backup generation, and any operation that wants 24/7 dispatch with contracted hurricane-season priority. Volume sweet spot is 500 to 9,000 gallons per drop on weekly to bi-weekly cadence, scaling up to multi-tanker bulk projects.
Diesel Direct is best for: Per the company's LinkedIn positioning, multi-state operations that want a single national mobile fueling partner — companies with footprint outside Florida where consolidated invoicing, a national account team, and operational consistency across regions outweigh the benefits of a regional specialist in any one state. Diesel Direct's industry list — "Food & Beverage Transportation Construction Marine Services Energy & Utilities Entertainment Locamotives Airports Agriculture" per LinkedIn — covers most of the on-site fueling demand profile in commercial markets.
The two are not mutually exclusive in every scenario. A Florida operation that is part of a larger national company sometimes runs a Florida-specific regional account (Exigo Fuels) alongside a multi-state national contract (Diesel Direct or another national operator) for facilities outside Florida, and that is a defensible procurement structure. Either-or framing can miss the way real procurement organizations actually buy fuel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Exigo Fuels and Diesel Direct?
Exigo Fuels and Diesel Direct both operate the on-site mobile fueling model — DOT-certified tanker trucks deliver diesel and gasoline directly to customer equipment, generators, marine vessels, and yard tanks. The difference is footprint and density. Exigo Fuels concentrates entirely on Southeast Florida — Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties — with 24/7 dispatch from Hialeah and 1-hour, 2-hour, and 4-hour contracted emergency response across 18 cities. Diesel Direct, per their LinkedIn company profile, was founded in 1998, is headquartered in Stoughton, Massachusetts, has a secondary location in Sacramento, California, and describes itself as "the nation's largest mobile on-site fueling company." For Florida buyers, the practical question is whether you want a regional specialist with concentrated dispatch or a national operator routed in from outside the state.
Does Diesel Direct serve Miami and South Florida?
Diesel Direct operates a multi-state on-site fueling network and lists Stoughton, Massachusetts as its headquarters and Sacramento, California as a secondary location per its LinkedIn profile. We have not verified specific Florida cities or dispatch terminals on Diesel Direct's public materials at the time of writing, so a Florida buyer evaluating Diesel Direct should request current Florida coverage and dispatch-base location directly from Diesel Direct sales. Exigo Fuels, by contrast, is a Florida-domiciled carrier with all dispatch operating out of Hialeah and serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and 15 other Southeast Florida cities.
Which company has faster emergency fuel response in Florida?
Exigo Fuels operates 24/7 dispatch from Hialeah with tiered emergency response — 1-hour, 2-hour, and 4-hour windows — exclusively for active contracted customers under a standing supply agreement. Because dispatch is local, normal-traffic response runs roughly 30 to 60 minutes into Miami-Dade, 60 to 90 minutes into Broward, and 60 to 120 minutes into Palm Beach. Diesel Direct lists "emergency response" and "storm coverage" among its services per its LinkedIn profile, but the dispatch base nearest the Florida market would need to be confirmed with Diesel Direct directly to evaluate response times. Local dispatch and a smaller, denser service area generally translate into shorter on-site response for the cities Exigo Fuels covers.
How do Exigo Fuels and Diesel Direct compare on services?
Both companies offer on-site mobile fuel delivery, generator refueling, bulk delivery, marine fueling, DEF, and emergency or storm response — Diesel Direct lists "generators, bulk deliveries, on-site fueling, diesel fuel, def, emergency response, storm coverage, marine fueling, construction, tank fueling, data center, and Renewable Diesel" on its LinkedIn page. The service catalogs are highly overlapping, which is normal because both companies operate the on-site mobile model. The differentiator is geographic concentration, dispatch base, and account-size economics rather than which categories are offered.
Should I choose a regional Florida specialist or a national fuel operator?
Neither answer is universally right. National operators like Diesel Direct can be a strong fit for multi-state customers who want a single fuel partner across many regions, consolidated invoicing, and a national account team. Regional specialists like Exigo Fuels are typically a better fit for Florida-only operations — local dispatch from Hialeah, hurricane-season priority for contracted Florida accounts, and a smaller account count per dispatcher tend to produce shorter response windows and tighter operational alignment with Florida-specific needs. To open a Florida-domiciled commercial supply account with Exigo Fuels, call (305) 900-6725 or submit a contact form. First on-site delivery typically happens 24 to 48 hours after quote acceptance for scheduled commercial customers.
