It’s Not Personal. It’s Just Business. For purchasing business fuel that is.
The 3rd sign that you are possibly misusing your business’ fuel dollars: drivers filling up a few times a day.
#3 Multiple purchases made in one day.
How you can identify these: Any purchases made with a fleet card set up with the proper customization can generate real-time purchasing authorizations and declines. A fleet manager can use this data to monitor and limit the number of transactions allowed by card and/or by driver per day. Any attempts above the limits can be set to “DECLINE” or “ALLOW & REPORT” to help prevent the misuse of company resources.
So what do you do? Review the settings on your fleet cards. Fleet cards can provide a number of settings, allowing fleet managers to customize the cards for best use. Once you know your fleet cards are set appropriately, you can manage your fuel spend more efficiently.
