What to Look for When Shopping for a Diesel Fuel Card for Your Trucking Company

If you’re tired of wasting money by fueling up using cash or credit for your trucking company, then a fuel card is the solution you need. But all fuel card companies aren’t the same, let us help you figure out what to look for when you’re shopping for a diesel fuel card so you can find the best one for your business.

The research phase doesn’t have to be long and complicated, just stick to these questions:

• How much are they charging just to get the card and is there a membership fee?
• Some fuel cards charge fees to activate the card and there will be an annual fee for just holding the card.
• Where are the in-network fuel locations and how many are there?
• You’ll want to find a fuel card that has in-network locations nationwide, you’ll also want to think about where you prefer to fuel up and if that is included as an in-network fuel stop.
• What are the transactions fees or what other kind of hidden fees could there be?
• There might be a charge each time you use the card, but you’ll want to find one that won’t charge you a transaction fee for fuel purchases at in-network locations.
• What is their average fuel discount?
• How does that discount compare to other fuel card providers?
• Do they have other value-added services?
• Getting great fuel discounts can be enough for a lot of trucking company owners but if they have more discounts that would help your business then that can make your decision even easier.
