J Rayl Transport switches to U.S. Oil’s Gain CNG fuel

April 9, 2014

J Rayl Transport has switched its existing compressed natural gas (CNG) station at its Akron, OH, headquarters to CNG fueling from U.S. Oil’s Gain Clean Fuel.

As part of the partnership, U.S. Oil has acquired the existing CNG station at J Rayl’s headquarters and will also construct a new Gain Clean Fuel station in Sunnyvale, TX, just east of Dallas, to provide service to J Rayl’s long haul transportation routes.

In addition, J Rayl Transport will purchase 76 dedicated CNG tractors and plans to convert more of its fleet to CNG in the future, U.S. Oil said.

“This is a strategic business decision,” said Jeremy Rayl, J Rayl CEO. “CNG costs less than diesel fuel, burns cleaner and reduces our fleet’s emissions. All of these are positives for the environment and for our bottom line.”

Gain’s national network of CNG stations will also provide the J Rayl fleet with access to CNG in many parts of the country.

“We are a local, regional, and a national carrier, specializing in full truck load service,” Rayl said. “By partnering with U.S. Oil and taking advantage of its Gain network, our goal is to be among the most fuel-efficient and environmentally-friendly fleets in the country.”

J Rayl will use the two new GAIN stations, as well as other GAIN Clean Fuel stations along the East Coast to fuel its expanding CNG fleet. The Akron facility is fully operational and the Sunnyville site will open in September. Both facilities will be available for use by other trucking firms and the general public.

“This is an exciting opportunity,” said Bill Renz, Gain Clean Fuel’s general manager. “It allows us to continue expanding our network to provide GAIN to carriers with national transportation routes.”

J Rayl Transport is a family-owned transportation company serving the tire, food, beverage, retail, plastics, and other industries. Its fleet, with more than 230 trucks, 750 dry van trailers and 25 flat-beds, serves the entire U.S. through terminals in Ohio, Virginia, Illinois, Indiana, and Texas.
