Fuel Management

Fuel Management Software That Actually Cuts Your Fuel Bill

Fuel is the single biggest variable cost in trucking. TruckerPro turns it from a monthly surprise into a managed line item — automatic fuel-card import, purchase-to-truck matching, a nightly fuel-fraud audit, a route fuel-buying planner, and IFTA-ready gallons — all inside the same system that runs your dispatch and settlements.

Automatic fuel-card import — connect EFS, WEX, or Comdata by API, or drop in a BVD or Pride card statement, and every transaction (litres, gallons, price, GST/HST, odometer) lands in TruckerPro with no manual entry.

Route fuel planner — enter origin and destination and TruckerPro builds a fuel corridor, finds stations along the lane, and ranks them by your negotiated network price, normalized across CAD and USD, so drivers stop where fuel is actually cheapest.

Optimal fill plan — from each truck's MPG, tank capacity, and current fuel level, the planner works out which stops to use and how many gallons to buy, then sends the plan to the driver by email or SMS.

Nightly fuel-fraud audit — automatic flags for fuel bought far from the truck's location, purchases over tank capacity, double-fills, and voice-authorized transactions, all in a manager review queue.

Every gallon feeds IFTA — fuel purchases and jurisdiction mileage flow straight into quarterly IFTA reporting, so fuel-tax filing is built from real data instead of shoebox receipts.

Fuel-surcharge schedules — build named FSC schedules with a base price and per-cent tiers, apply them to quotes and invoices, and split the surcharge with owner-operators on their pay statements automatically.

Purchase-to-load matching — each fuel transaction is attributed to a truck, driver, and load, so fuel cost shows up in per-truck P&L and per-load profitability without extra work.

Canadian-aware end to end — dual litre and gallon units, CAD/USD currency, and GST/HST capture on Canadian fuel-card feeds, built for carriers that run both sides of the border.

Drivers log out-of-pocket fuel from the mobile app with a receipt photo attached, so nothing is missed for reimbursement or IFTA.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is fuel management software for trucking?

Fuel management software helps a trucking company track, control, and reduce fuel spend. It imports fuel-card transactions automatically, matches each purchase to the right truck, driver, and load, flags suspicious or wasteful purchases, plans where drivers should fuel along a route, and feeds gallons and fuel taxes into IFTA. Instead of reconciling a fuel-card statement by hand every month, the carrier gets fuel data that is already matched, audited, and ready for tax filing.

Which fuel cards does TruckerPro integrate with?

TruckerPro connects to EFS, WEX, and Comdata through their APIs for automatic transaction sync, and imports BVD and Pride card statements by file. Each transaction brings in litres and gallons, price per unit, GST/HST on Canadian purchases, currency, and odometer reading. You assign a card to a driver and a truck, so every purchase is attributed correctly the moment it imports.

How does the route fuel planner save money?

When you plan a trip, TruckerPro builds a fuel corridor between origin and destination, finds fuel stations along the lane, and ranks them by your own negotiated network pricing — normalized across CAD and USD so a Canadian and a US stop compare fairly. From the truck's MPG, tank size, and current fuel level, it calculates an optimal fill plan (which stops, how many gallons) and sends it to the driver by email or SMS. Drivers stop where your fuel is genuinely cheapest instead of guessing.

Can it detect fuel theft or card misuse?

Yes. A nightly audit reviews every fuel transaction and flags exceptions: fuel bought far from where the truck actually was, purchases larger than the tank can hold, double-fills within a short window, and voice-authorized transactions. Each finding lands in a review queue with a severity and the supporting evidence, so your team investigates real anomalies instead of scrolling a card statement line by line.

How does fuel data connect to IFTA?

Every fuel purchase — its gallons, jurisdiction, and tax — flows into TruckerPro's IFTA engine alongside mileage by jurisdiction from your trips and ELD integration. Quarterly IFTA reports are built from that real data, with per-jurisdiction detail and CSV and PDF export, instead of being reconstructed from receipts at filing time.

Does the planner use live retail prices at every truck stop?

No, and that is deliberate. The planner ranks stops by the negotiated pricing your fleet uploads (for example a BVD price sheet) against a shared network of geocoded stations, so the cheapest stop reflects your actual discounted cost, not a public pump price you do not pay. The fuel planner is an optional module you can switch on per company.

How is owner-operator fuel surcharge handled?

Fuel-surcharge schedules apply to customer quotes and invoices, and when an owner-operator hauls the load, their share of the fuel surcharge is calculated and shown on their pay statement automatically using the same schedule — so the FSC you bill and the FSC you pay stay consistent.
