Fuel

Pay drivers for the fuel they save

Nobody controls the price at the pump. What a driver does control is how the truck is driven, and that is what a fuel bonus should pay for, so every driver, in every truck, has a real way to earn by driving better.

The Fuel category

A fuel bonus only works if every driver believes they can win it

MPG isn't just about the driver. Truck model, age, mileage, APU use, season and route can all move the number - making one fleet-wide target feel unfair.

FleetOps groups similar trucks and drivers together, then gives each driver a live view of their MPG, rank and progress against a target they can realistically achieve. And where MPG still isn't a fair measure, reward the behaviors drivers can control - idle, RPM and cruise use.

The metrics inside fuel

  • 01 MPG

    Set a target every truck can hit

    Peer groups first: drivers and tractors grouped by make, year or mileage band, so similar MPG is achievable inside each one. Then a static target per group, or a dynamic one measured against the group's own average as the month runs, with season and APU handled by the grouping instead of an exception list.

    The problem today:

    • One flat target across mixed equipment
    • Newest trucks winning every payout
    • MPG confirmed weeks after the month closed
    Peer group J. Carr grouped with the 2019 tractors
    Live MPG T. Fox: 7.94 against a 7.60 target
    Against pace M. Barnes is 0.12 under the group average
    • Peer groups
    • Tiered CPM scales
    • Static or dynamic targets
    • Live MPG tracking
  • 02 Idling

    Pay on the habits that travel between trucks

    Idle percentage, RPM band and cruise control use arrive in real time, so a driver sees their own idling benchmarked against similar drivers and trucks. Admins can review individual idle spans and adjust the ones that were unavoidable - a broken APU, extreme weather - so nobody is docked for doing the job properly.

    The problem today:

    • Idle time drivers cannot see until payday
    • Unavoidable idling counted against the driver
    • Nothing fair to pay on when trucks rotate
    Idle percentage I. Benjamin: 6.1% idle this period
    Adjusted APU failure excluded for D. Bowman
    Cruise use B. Blair: 71% of miles on cruise
    • Idle percentage bands
    • RPM and cruise use
    • Idle span adjustments
    • Real-time telematics
  • 03 Fuel fill compliance

    Reward drivers who fuel where they are told

    Transactions come in from WEX or whichever card provider you use. Where you run a fuel planning program, we compare each fill to the plan; where you don't, we flag out-of-network stops. Non-compliant fills can act as a disqualifier, or compliance can pay on its own - drivers above 95% get a reward. Admins can override any flag for special cases.

    The problem today:

    • Off-network fills at retail prices
    • Fuel plans nobody checks against
    • Compliance chased weeks after the fill
    In network Fill 4 matched the planned stop
    Flagged S. Alvarez: off-network fill at retail
    Override Detour approved by the fuel desk
    • In-network fill rate
    • Fuel plan matching
    • Out-of-network flags
    • Admin overrides

Fuel data comes from your cards, your telematics and your TMS

Card transactions, engine data and trip records are pulled from wherever they already live and matched to the driver who was in the seat. Failed fills and engine idle spans that are nobody's fault can be filtered out before they reach a bonus.
