If a company currently uses no fuel management system and is operating on paper tickets from merchants, they are not controlling their fleet fueling. You shop for the best diesel fuel prices for your fleet companies and receive fueling from your fuel companies either be a retail merchant or a mobile fueling provider but the only way that you know how much went IN to the tank is by the receipt. How do you know that the amount that went in to the tank is the exact amount on the receipt? When the mobile fueling provider write down the amount of fueling from the register on a paper ticket, how do you know that they only used that amount of fuel? What about using a personal card for OTR purchases and receiving receipts from your drivers? How do you know that they put the fuel in your truck? How do you know that the driver is not siphoning fuel out of your tank? If diesel fuel prices were only $1.75 per gallon, it would still be an issue but with diesel fuel prices rising to $3.50 in the near future it’s a real problem and a loss on any fuel savings, you thought your fleet management programs were providing.
