Instant quote — free, no phone call needed
A few taps — where you're stopped, your fuel type (unleaded, diesel, or premium), and how many gallons you want, at pump price — and your exact price is on screen in about 60 seconds. It comes with a quote reference (Q-XXXXXXXX): give it to the dispatcher and we pick up right where you left off. Online pricing covers our standard ~30-mile service area; beyond that, a dispatcher at (414) 279-5510 prices it personally.
If you can still roll, ease fully onto the shoulder or into a lot, turn your hazards on, and stay buckled inside, behind the barrier, away from traffic. Don't stand on the traffic side of the car. Then call (414) 279-5510 — we answer live and send a truck with the fuel you need.
Step by step
Six steps, in this order. The first four are about not getting hurt on a Milwaukee freeway shoulder; the last two get the fuel to you without damaging the car.
Sound familiar?
If you recognize your situation below, you're in the right place — every one of these is a routine call for us.
The tank hit empty on a shoulder or on-ramp. We come to where you're stopped — get safe first, then call.
Range readout or a sticky needle said you had more than you did, and you coasted to a stop. Happens all the time.
Out of gas at the store, at work, or at home and it won't turn over. We bring fuel right to the spot.
A diesel that runs bone-dry can pull air into the lines. We bring diesel and help get it primed and running.
A dead or stuck gauge left you guessing — until it stranded you. We'll get fuel in and you back on the road.
What fuel delivery covers
Fuel delivery gets a dry tank moving again. We bring enough to reach the nearest pump — not a full tank — so you fill up properly there. If something else is going on, we'll tell you on the spot instead of leaving you stuck twice.
If it won't start once there's fuel in it, we're already there — we can jump it or tow you to a shop so you're not stranded twice.
Gas, diesel, or out of charge?
Tell the dispatcher what you drive when you call, and the truck arrives with the right fuel. Here's how we handle each kind.
Regular, mid-grade, or premium — tell us which when you call and the driver arrives with the right octane. We pour a measured amount, enough to reach the nearest station.
We bring diesel for trucks, vans, and diesel cars. A tank run completely dry can draw air into the lines and may need bleeding — if it won't fire right back up, we're already there to help.
That's not a fuel drop — there's nothing to pour. We send a flatbed and tow you to the nearest working charger instead. Tell dispatch it's an EV.

The service call starts at $75 within 10 miles of our South Side yard, tiered by distance with no per-mile fee. That covers the trip out to you and the delivery itself; the fuel is added at pump price per gallon — never a full-tank markup. Your exact quote is computed by the same pricing engine our dispatchers use, from the four factors below. The calculator up this page shows your exact price in about 60 seconds — free, before any truck rolls.
Straight from the live pricing engine — no estimate ranges, no call-for-price games, and never a different number when the truck arrives.
See my price nowPriced in tiers from our South Side Milwaukee yard — roughly 0–10, 11–22, and 23–30 miles out. Closer costs less.
Add gallons in the quote and watch the price change live — charged at pump price per gallon, never a full-tank markup.
Same rate day or night. Freeway shoulders, airports, and parking structures price differently — the calculator applies it all automatically, nothing sprung on arrival.
Diesel and semi callouts are their own class with different equipment. If it won't start once fueled, or it's an EV, a tow is a separate, quoted job — you decide.
What happens after you call
Address, cross-streets, or one-tap GPS in the calculator — it works on any highway shoulder. Or call, and a real Milwaukee dispatcher picks up.
Confirm gas or diesel — so there's never a misfuel — pick your gallons — at pump price — and see the exact price with a quote reference (Q-XXXXXXXX).
The driver brings fuel in an approved can and pours a measured amount into your tank — you watch every gallon.
You start up and drive to the nearest station to fill the tank properly. Back on the road, no full-tank markup.
Fuel, jump, or tow?
Out of gas, won't start, and out of charge are three different jobs. Pick the one that fits.

Fuel delivery questions
The service call starts at $75 within 10 miles of our South Side yard and covers the trip out to you and the delivery itself; fuel is added at pump price per gallon, and your location (highway shoulder, airport, parking garage) adjusts it. The calculator on this page shows your exact price for your location — anywhere in the metro — in about 60 seconds — free, no full-tank markup, no per-mile fee. Or call (414) 279-5510 and hear the same number.
The dispatcher gives you an arrival estimate on the call, and it depends on where you are, traffic and calls ahead of yours. Emergency fuel service runs 24 hours — we answer live any hour and dispatch the nearest truck, and the dispatcher gives you a real ETA, not a canned promise.
Enough to reach the nearest station — a couple of gallons is good for roughly 30–50 miles in most vehicles, charged at pump price with no markup. Add gallons in the quote and see the price change live. We don't carry a full tank, and saying so is part of keeping the price honest.
Yes. We bring gasoline — regular, mid, or premium — and diesel. Your fuel type is confirmed before dispatch so the right fuel arrives the first time — that discipline is exactly how misfuels get prevented.
Stop driving immediately and don't restart the engine — running gasoline through a diesel (or the reverse) is how a fill-up mistake becomes an engine bill. Wrong-fuel situations usually need a tow to a shop rather than a top-up, and we can arrange that in the same call. See our towing service or call (414) 279-5510.
Adding fuel solves an empty tank, but a vehicle that sat bone-dry can need a moment to prime. A dry diesel especially can pull air into the lines and may need bleeding. If it still won’t start, we can jump it or tow you to a shop — just tell us when you call.
That's not a fuel drop — there's nothing to pour. We send a flatbed and tow you to the nearest working charger instead. Tell the dispatcher it's an EV so we roll the right truck.
Get fully off the road first — coast onto the shoulder or into a lot, turn your hazards on, and stay buckled inside, behind the barrier, away from traffic. Then call (414) 279-5510 and we’ll come to you.
Yes. Get as far onto the shoulder as you can, hazards on, and stay behind the barrier. Tell the dispatcher the highway, your direction and the nearest exit or on-ramp — or share your phone's location — and we bring a couple of gallons, enough to reach the next station, at pump price. Freeway shoulders price a little differently, and you see the exact number before we roll. Call (414) 279-5510.
