Fuel cubes, on-site refuelling, and propane for temporary heat for southwestern Ontario job sites.

No. A licensed vehicle of any kind — service truck, half-ton, foreman pickup, van — runs on clear diesel only. The Fuel Tax Act rule (s. 2(7.1)) is decided at the licence plate, not at the work the vehicle is doing. The Ministry of Finance is explicit on this point: it is prohibited to use coloured fuel in a licensed motor vehicle, even if the vehicle is operated primarily in connection with a construction business. The dyed cube on the pad is for the excavators and the off-road equipment; the trucks refuel off a cardlock card or a separate clear cube.FUEL TAX ACT S. 2(7.1) · R.R.O. 1990 REG. 464

Sizing comes down to two questions: how many litres a day the site burns, and how often the cube can be refilled. A 1,000 L cube refilled weekly handles a sub-trade with one or two pieces of portable equipment; a 2,000 L cube on the same cadence is the most common setup for a single-site build with several units fuelling daily; the larger Western Global TransCube sizes (5,000 L and 10,000 L) come into play when the daily burn is heavy enough that a smaller cube would need multiple refills a week. Your rep needs the equipment list and the rough daily hours to size it. The fuel cubes page walks through the decision shape, and the conversation usually settles in one call.CAN/ULC-S601 · KB DECISION FRAMEWORK

The rough pivot is around six fuel-consuming units on the site fuelling daily. Below that the per-piece pumping labour off a cube is manageable and the cube tends to win on per litre delivered. Above it, the labour adds up and the per-equipment ticketing, multi-compartment loadout, and ability to follow the work across multiple sites tend to make on-site the lower total cost. The other tells are heavy equipment positioned for months at a time, two or more concurrent project sites, or a mix of dyed off-road and clear service trucks fuelling on the same visit. The on-site refuelling page lays the decision out side by side with the cube fit; your rep walks through it with your actual equipment list.KB DECISION FRAMEWORK · ON-SITE VS FUEL CUBE

The operator on a propane construction heater needs a Record of Training under Ontario Regulation 215/01. The construction-heater-specific ROT is the CH-02; the service-and-maintenance ROTs are the CH-SM1 and CH-SM2. The training is delivered through TSSA-recognized programs — the Canadian Propane Association’s Propane Training Institute is the program most operators come through. The site is responsible for ensuring the operator on the heater holds the ROT; TSSA administers and enforces the regulation. The propane for temporary heat page carries the full operator-licensing shape and the setbacks for cylinders and bulk tanks on a tight site.O. REG. 215/01 · CH-02 ROT · TSSA / CPA-PTI

The after-hours dispatch line answers at 3 a.m. — that is what the after-hours line is for. The truck rolls as soon as the call comes in. The variable in a three-hour window is whether the road and weather will let a tanker through to the site at that hour; the rest is logistics we already know how to run. The way most accounts avoid the 3 a.m. call in the first place is a cadence with enough slack that a heavier-than-usual day or a phase change does not run a cube dry. That conversation is part of setting the account up, and it happens again whenever the schedule shifts.24/7 EMERGENCY DISPATCH

Yes — multi-site is the common shape for a GC running two or more concurrent projects across southwestern Ontario. One account, one rep, one statement. The mix on each site can be different: a cube at the satellite site, on-site refuelling on the main yard, a propane bulk tank holding heat through the cure season on a third — all booked to the same account, with per-site, per-phase, or per-piece allocation rolling into the monthly statement on whatever cost coding your accountant uses. The rep is the same person across every site on the account.OPERATIONS · MULTI-SITE BILLING
