Want to Know Waiting Times at
Racks & Terminals
There is An App for That

The National Propane Gas Association (NPGA) has rolled out
Propane Logistics Analysis Network
(PLAN), an online tool and app to help keep the industry informed on supply points and hours of service. It is a crowd-source tool, which means it relies on active user input. Everyone is encouraged to enter wait times at supply points, including drivers, dispatchers, terminal managers, and wholesalers.
There are 400 supply points on the tool so far.
Please note PLAN does not represent supply levels, pricing, or other market variables, and may be subject to error.
