Sokolis has been saving fleets money on their fleet fuel purchases for over 10 years. Despite our decade in business, we have never attended the ATA conference – one of the biggest shows in the trucking industry.
Diesel fuel prices and gas prices are still behaving like they have for the past 10 years. In other words, nothing is stable. When you think something is going to be stable with your fleet fueling costs, it changes like the weather.
Diesel fuel prices fell for a fourth week, dipping 0.8 cent to $3.841 a gallon, the lowest price since July 2012, the Department of Energy said Monday.
For 2 weeks in a row diesel fuel prices have dropped though only 1.1 cents a gallon this week and a penny a gallon last week. Diesel fuel prices nationally now stand at $3.869 a gallon.
Diesel fuel prices rose for a second consecutive week, rising 2.4 cents to $3.89 a gallon, while gas prices jumped 7 cents to $3.673. Diesel fuel had declined for 10 weeks prior to the current gains, dropping 31.4 cents in that string of downturns.

With truck drivers running around and fleet fueling prices going up and down, fuel theft should not be a surprise. Some companies are well aware of the problem
Diesel fuel prices up, diesel fuel prices down. Where is it and why? The same can be said about gas prices but the answer is not easy. Last week, I was asked for a prediction on diesel fuel prices for the next 12 years. I wanted to say, I can’t go to a casino and predict Black or Red enough
The Department of Energy, DOE reported today that diesel fuel prices drop six-tenths of a penny for the week. The national price for diesel fuel now stands at $3.845 per gallon.

Fuel cards or fleet cards are payment methods for purchasing fuel at truck stops. These fleet cards can also be used to pay for various maintenance/expenses on vehicles in a fleet management.
Why are diesel fuel audits important? It almost seems like an effortless question. It’s common sense really, right? Well…is your fleet auditing their fuel purchases? If I had to put a number to it, I’d guess that only 50% of fleets are doing it. Even that is probably a generous number. Out of the 50% probably half are only doing
