an operator of commercial cardlocks. A commercial cardlock is an
unstaffed self-service gas station for commercial vehicles. To
accommodate large trucks, cardlocks are usually built on larger
parcels (on the order of 1-1/2 acres) than retail gas stations.
Cardlocks are usually built in industrial areas that are easily
accessible to trucks, rather than the more expensive sites used
for retail gas stations. Cardlocks are open 24 hours a day, 365
days a year.
When using a cardlock, the customer must supply (and the
supplier electronically captures) customer and billing
information, including the date, time of day, vehicle odometer
reading, and other miscellaneous information, as well as product
type and gallons pumped. The supplier bills the customer for the
gasoline and provides on the bill the detailed information
captured at the pump. Most cardlocks have video surveillance for
added security.
Petitioner operated the following five cardlocks in 1996 and
1997: 5750 South Watt Ave., Sacramento (Watt Avenue); 2891
Mosquito Road, Placerville (Mosquito Road); 4200 Roseville Road,
North Highlands (Roseville Road); 11341 White Rock Road, Rancho
Cordova (White Rock Road); and 4200 Mother Lode Drive, Shingle
Springs (Mother Lode Drive). On September 1, 1997, petitioner
leased the land for a sixth cardlock located at 1201 Fee Drive,
Sacramento (Fee Drive).
