Sun Coast Resources Inc

"Our business model is based on providing reliable delivery service—on time, every time," says Steve Boyd, senior managing director at Sun Coast Resources Inc. "Sun Coast must have reliable, safe and well maintained transportation assets to meet demanding delivery schedules. We never compromise on the quality of our fleet and our fleet department stays on top of every aspect of our vehicle operations." Supplier and dealer relationships are key ingredients in running a successful fuel and transportation company so we deal only with reputable companies that have a proven track record. PacLease works with us to choose the right specifications—such as longer wheelbases, power take–off driven pumps and weight saving items—to meet the exact needs of our customers," Boyd states.

"From the start, we instituted a policy of using leased trucks so that the company could always concentrate on providing unparalleled customer service. We don't have the time or resources to invest in a maintenance operation, and we prefer to avoid locking up working capital in equipment. Investing in the company is much more important than buying depreciating assets."

This provides all sorts of benefits to our company," Boyd concludes, "not the least of which are reduced downtime and cost savings, and the ability to rely on the fleet. Without it, we wouldn't be in business".
