Exceeding Safety Expectations
We adhere to all DOT, EPA, fire and air quality requirements for transporting, storage, and dispensing of fuel safely.
Booster Sets the Standard When It Come to Safety
We place safety at the heart of every interaction, service, procedure, and conversation.
Booster adheres to the highest levels of safety so you can feel confident about our fueling process, our drivers, and our tankers.
Ten years ago, we saw a problem: Our vehicle-centric lives required gas stations that were hotbeds of risk: They had underground storage tanks at various ages that might be leaking fuel and hurting the land. Sloppy drivers might miss a fuel holster or knock a gas cap off and cause spillage.
It only takes 10 gallons of gasoline to contaminate as much as 11 million gallons of groundwater.
We knew then and we know now that the safest accidents are the ones that never happen.
Mobile fuel delivery is one way we can stop gas station accidents before they start. We are currently the only legal operator in 150 U.S. cities, but our policy team is actively working with local regulators in multiple markets to drive reasonable regulation changes that will better serve our customers.
We also believe that Booster has a responsibility to open up this path for safer fueling to other interested providers and are providing paths to support local fueling providers. Visit our Fueling Partner page to learn more.
