Fuel Card Partners

Fuel is the largest variable cost for every cargo van, Sprinter, and box truck carrier. Even a 15-cents-per-gallon savings adds up to $1,500+/year per truck on typical mileage. Fuel cards are how serious carriers cut that bill.

What a fuel card does

A commercial fuel card is a payment card accepted at most truck stop and gas station networks. Beyond just paying for fuel, it gives you:

  • Per-gallon discounts at participating locations (typically 10–40¢/gallon, varies by network)

  • Centralized billing — one weekly invoice instead of dozens of receipts

  • IFTA reporting — automatic mileage and fuel tracking by state, huge time saver at tax time

  • Fraud protection — driver-specific PINs, time-of-day limits, gallon limits per fill

  • Online portal — see every transaction in real time

  • Cash advances at some locations (handy on the road)

What our partner programs offer

  • Cargo van and box truck friendly — many fuel card programs are designed for class 8 trucks at truck stops only. Ours work at regular gas stations too, where cargo vans actually fuel up.

  • Multi-network coverage — partner cards accepted at major chains (Pilot, Flying J, Loves, TA, Petro) AND smaller stations

  • No credit card required to start (some programs)

  • Real-time fraud alerts

  • IFTA reporting bundled in (saves hours every quarter if you're IFTA-required)

  • Optional integration with factoring partners — fuel costs deducted directly from invoices

How much can you actually save?

The math on a typical Sprinter:

  • Annual mileage: 60,000 miles

  • Fuel economy: 16 MPG

  • Annual gallons: 3,750

  • Savings at 15¢/gallon: $562/year per truck

  • Savings at 30¢/gallon: $1,125/year per truck

For a small fleet of 5 trucks, that's $2,800–$5,600/year in savings, plus time saved on IFTA prep.

How it works

  1. Application: partner asks about your fleet size, primary lanes, and fueling habits.

  2. Approval: usually same-day for most programs, no impact on personal credit for some options.

  3. Card delivery: physical cards arrive in 5–7 business days; virtual cards usable immediately.

  4. First fill-ups: drivers use cards at any participating location; discounts apply automatically.

  5. Weekly billing: one consolidated invoice (some programs daily ACH).

When fuel cards make sense

Yes:

  • You run more than 1,000 miles/week

  • You have more than 1 truck (administrative savings compound)

  • You hate doing IFTA prep

  • You want fraud protection on driver fuel spending

Probably not:

  • You run mostly local/short loads with predictable fueling

  • You're a part-time operator running a couple loads a month

  • You already have a perfectly working credit card with cashback that beats your fuel card
