Case Study: D&T Trucking achieves uninterrupted operations with Cummins standby power

Trucking Firm Discovers Value of Standby Power

D&T Trucking in St. Paul, Minnesota, relied on phone, computer, and fuel-pump access to run its business, so a day-long utility outage exposed how vulnerable operations were without backup power. Working with **Cummins**, the trucking firm chose a 125 kW diesel-fueled generator set with an automatic transfer switch to provide standby power for all business operations.

**Cummins** and local distributor Cummins NPower helped size, install, and commission the system, with the electrical contractor rewiring the building to support it. The backup power solution kept lights, phones, computers, and fuel pumps running during subsequent outages, preventing downtime and protecting business continuity; the reliable system was so valuable that it later helped make the building attractive to the county sheriff’s department as well.
