About Our Fuel Card Program
Fuel cards for trucking companies are a way for carriers to make fuel purchases under the cash price at gas stations or truck stops. With an electronic funds source (EFS) fuel card, a carrier can set a spending limit to manage cash flow without the need for an individual expense report.

A Simplified Process for Navigating Fuel Costs
Instead of paying with cash or a company credit or debit card, truck drivers can pay for discounted fuel at gas stations and truck stops with fuel discount cards.
Discount fuel cards for truckers operate similarly to credit and debit cards. The driver will swipe the fuel card or show it to the attendant before filling up their truck. Instead of keeping the receipt that you must submit with other expenses, a fuel card will keep a digital record of all transactions.
With a fuel card from Porter Freight Funding, carriers can load funds directly onto the card before drivers arrive at the station. Additional actions companies can perform with fuel cards for truck drivers include:
- Real-time purchase tracking.
- Capturing detailed transaction data such as odometer readings.
- Receiving rebates to invest back into the company.
- Streamlined reporting for the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA).
What to Expect From Our Fuel Card Program
Choosing to get a fuel card for your trucking company comes with several benefits. Check out what you can expect when signing up for a Porter Freight fuel card!
Truck drivers have to make fuel purchases to operate their trucking company and using a fuel card for those purchases means that you won’t ever have to pay the full price of fuel ever again. You save thousands of dollars over the course of the year on fuel. The savings from those discounts from your fuel expenses end up covering the cost of your factoring fee. What’s more, using a fuel card is one of the best ways to reduce your trucking cost per mile.
It is easy to control your spending when using a fuel card. Regardless of whether you have a fleet of trucks or you’re an owner-operator, you are in control. If you have a truck driver who drives for you, you can control and monitor their spending and set budgets and purchase limits. Having this amount of control limits fraudulent activity as well.
Having a fuel card is extremely convenient. You or your fleet will never have to pay for fuel out of pocket and no one will have to incur the cost of fuel. There is no handling of receipts or having to track someone down for reimbursement. Having a fuel card allows you and your drivers to feel comfortable while on the road.
The more flexible your fuel card is, the better. The best fuel cards offer additional benefits like discounts on tires, repairs, lodging and food and drink at partnering locations. The card app allows you to find the lowest fuel prices and closest locations right at your fingertips. Some apps may also have IFTA reporting too.
An additional benefit of having a fuel card is fuel advances. Fuel advances work by your funds getting distributed directly onto your fuel card. When you work with Porter Freight Funding, we will advance your funding straight to your fuel card. This brings you comfort in knowing that your fuel card will always be loaded and you’ll never need to worry about if you or your fleet, have enough money for fuel to get home or to your next location.
