Fleet Fuel Card programs provide carriers and private fleets with per-gallon discounts at nationwide truck stop networks — Pilot/Flying J, Love's, TA/Petro, and others — while centralizing fuel expense management across the entire fleet. Fuel is typically the second-largest cost in carrier operations after driver pay. Centralized fuel programs with per-gallon discounts, purchase controls, and detailed transaction data improve cost management and simplify IFTA tax reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Fuel Cards software
What is a fleet fuel card, and how does it differ from a credit card?
Fleet fuel cards are specialized payment cards for commercial vehicles that provide per-gallon discounts at truck stop networks, purchase controls specific to fleet needs (fuel-only, gallon limits, vehicle-specific restrictions), and detailed reporting for fleet managers. Unlike credit cards, they're purpose-built for fleet fuel management and often include IFTA reporting tools.
How much can carriers save with a fuel card?
Savings vary by network and volume. Typical per-gallon discounts range from $0.05–$0.25 per gallon at major truck stop networks. For a carrier running 100 trucks at 100,000 miles per year each at 6 MPG, that's roughly 1.7M gallons annually — even a $0.10/gallon discount generates $170K in annual savings.
What is IFTA and how do fuel cards help with compliance?
IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) requires commercial vehicle operators to report fuel purchased and miles driven in each state quarterly. Fuel cards automatically tag purchases by state and can generate IFTA reports directly, eliminating the need for drivers to save receipts and manual state-by-state reconciliation.
How do fuel card programs prevent misuse?
Fuel cards include controls that limit misuse: vehicle-specific cards that only work for a single truck, fuel-type restrictions (diesel only), gallon-per-transaction limits, time-of-day restrictions, and geofencing alerts when purchases occur far from the vehicle's expected location. Real-time transaction alerts let fleet managers catch anomalies before they compound.
