Truck delivery stations offer a perfect blend of safety and efficiency. These stations are designed for acceptance of both full transport trucks and smaller bobtail vehicles.

The location and construction of fuel transfer stations are important design factors. At LPG plants with more than 4,000 gallons total storage capacity, NFPA 58 requires emergency valves at transfer stations to allow quick closure. A "breakaway" feature is also required to protect plant piping in the event of a connected-truck pull away.

Trucks normally have power-take-off pumps to transfer product. Top-fitted railcars require the use of vapor compressors to "push" the liquid propane out and, on a secondary cycle, recover much of the remaining propane vapor.
