How Should Truck and Tank Photos Be Prepared for a Fuel Website?
Use real photos with plain descriptions. Google uses the page text and captions around a photo to understand it. Google guidance

Give the builder context for each photo
We suggest a short note for every image: what it shows, whether it is current, and which service page it belongs on. If it is your residential delivery truck, say so.
Google recommends short, descriptive image filenames. Google guidance
Name the file for the scene. Don't stuff every town you serve into every name. Keep each description true to the image.
Describe what a visitor needs to know
Google uses alt text together with page content to understand an image. It advises against stuffing keywords into it. Google guidance
For a truck photo, a good description names the company truck and the delivery setting. Do not add a fuel, a town or a service the photo cannot back up. Talk with your builder about decorative images separately.
Ask how the photos are placed
Google finds images in HTML image elements. It does not index CSS background images. Google guidance
If a photo should help explain a service or show up in image search, ask how it will be placed. Check it on the live page next to its caption and description.
Approve a small, accurate set
Pick the useful photos before asking for a big gallery. Confirm you have permission to use each one, and keep private customer details out. Note which photos to swap when trucks or branding change.

Request a demo and bring your approved photo folder. Ask which photos would go on which page and how each would be described.
