“WEX adds extra value because they tailored the program to give us varying start and stop times for fueling. They also allow us to assign the cards to employees and cut down on fraud. It’s a very good program for us.”
-Charles Cotton, Fleet and Logistics Director – Lucas Tree Experts
A fuel card works just like a charge card. You swipe it when purchasing fuel to get a discount, accumulate points, and gain access to added benefits like free showers or truck stop purchase discounts.
As any owner-operator knows, fuel is one of your biggest — and most variable — expenses. Given that fuel prices rise and fall constantly based on factors outside of anyone’s control, having a fuel card that helps deliver consistent savings through partnerships with specific fuel stations is key to maintaining your bottom line.
Boosting your fuel efficiency helps you save money on your fuel costs. The best way to do this is by getting a quality fuel card. In addition, some other tips to increase your fuel efficiency include:
- Avoid idling
- Find the best speed for fuel economy on your specific vehicle (probably around 55 to 62 mph)
- Keep the boost as low as possible
- Haul lighter loads — with DAT load boards, it’s easy to find lighter loads that require less fuel
