Unlocking Fuel Savings: How Fuel Card Programs Benefit Your Fleet
Tosha Missel, PacLease Senior Marketing Specialist
Fuel costs can make up a significant portion of a fleet's operating budget. In fact, fuel costs usually account for a substantial percentage of a fleet's overall expenses. According to the 2024 National Private Truck Council (NPTC) Benchmarking Survey Report, fuel costs were rated as the 6th leading challenge by fleets. This indicates that fuel costs continue to be a significant concern for fleet operators, emphasizing the importance of finding effective strategies to manage and reduce fuel expenses.
Many fleets unknowingly pay retail prices for fuel, missing out on potential savings that can be achieved through fuel card programs. By joining a fuel card program, fleets can take advantage of purchasing platforms that enable them to access fuel discounts provided by truck stops.
These fuel card programs create partnerships with truck stops and negotiate discounted fuel rates for their members. This allows fleets to save money on their fuel purchases and lower their overall operating expenses. The discounts provided by these programs can vary depending on the specific fuel card program and the truck stops involved.
By utilizing a fuel card program, fleets can ensure that they are getting the best possible fuel prices and maximizing their fuel spend. These programs offer a convenient and effective way for accessing fuel discounts, ultimately helping fleets to better manage their fuel costs and improve their overall financial performance.
