Is Your Fleet Losing Money at the Pump?

Unauthorized fueling doesn't show up as one big red flag; it shows up as a few extra gallons here, an after-hours fill-up there, a weekend transaction nobody questions. Add it up over a month, and mid-sized fleets are typically losing $500–$1,200 to fuel fraud and misuse they never catch.

You shouldn’t have to rely on trust alone to protect your fuel spend. Good controls protect the business and its drivers by creating clear accountability, tighter fueling parameters, and visibility into every transaction.

This checklist shows you exactly where those blind spots are.

Fuel Misuse Checklist

The National Fleet Fuel Misuse Checklist walks through the five areas where fuel fraud hides:

Are your drivers fueling outside of authorized business hours?

Is your "parked" fleet still showing pump activity?

Is your fuel card paying for more than fuel?

Can you trace every transaction back to a person?

Are you receiving a clear monthly fuel report to review and reconcile your books easily and efficiently?

Answer honestly, tally your "No" and "Not Sure" answers, and get an instant read on how exposed your fleet really is from solid controls to significant monthly loss.
