How Fuelwatch Works: A Smarter Way to Control Fuel Spend


Managing fuel is one of the biggest challenges in trucking. It’s your largest operating expense — and the hardest to track with precision. That’s where Fuelwatch comes in.


We help fleets see what others can’t: real data on what’s purchased, what’s consumed, and what’s wasted.


Here’s how it works.


Step 1: We Connect Your Fuel + Telematics Data


Fuelwatch integrates directly with your:

  • Fuel cards (like Comdata, WEX, EFS)

  • Telematics platforms (like Samsara, Geotab, Motive)




We pull transaction-level data and engine diagnostics into one platform — no manual uploads, no spreadsheets, no hassle.


Step 2: We Match Fuel Purchased vs. Fuel Consumed


For each truck, we analyze:

  • How much fuel was purchased using the fuel card

  • How much fuel was actually consumed based on ECM data


This immediately uncovers theft, fraud, and inefficiencies, whether it's a driver taking gallons or fuel being siphoned from tanks at terminals, truck stops, or roadside.

Step 3: We Track Efficiency Metrics by Driver


We go beyond MPG. Fuelwatch analyzes driver behavior using real data:

  • Idle time %

  • Cruise control usage

  • Coasting and torque habits


We identify low-efficiency drivers and flag trends before they cost you money.




Step 4: We Help You Optimize Fuel Buying


Fuelwatch shows:

  • Net fuel price by location (after discounts and taxes)

  • Which locations are costing you more than you think

  • Where to plan your next fuel stop for the best net price


We even alert you to next-day price changes, so you can plan ahead — not react.


Step 5: We Report, Alert, and Recommend


You get:

  • Custom reports by unit, driver, and location

  • Real-time alerts when something looks off

  • Weekly recommendations on how to lower your cost per mile


Bottom Line: We Save You Fuel. Automatically.


Fuelwatch isn't another dashboard. It’s a fuel management system designed by trucking operators, for trucking operators.
