Customizing CFN Gas Cards Features to Fit Your Fleet Needs

CFN gas cards can give your business custom control over your fleet’s fuel transactions. You will have the power to customize the CFN gas card settings to regulate the use of fuel purchases from your commercial truck drivers to prevent them from overspending or misusing your company’s fuel funds.

Here are the top six ways you can customize your CFN gas cardfeatures to suit the needs of your fleet and business objectives.

1. Create Driver Profiles

You can create an individual profile for each driver of your fleet. The profile will come with a unique 5-digit PIN to ensure no one else can use their CFN gas card to purchase fuel. Plus, you can set custom purchase controls for each driver’s profile to regulate the amount and frequency of their fuel purchases.

2. Require Diesel-Only Fuel Purchases

Most commercial vehicles require diesel fuel to operate. Customizing your CFN gas cards for strictly diesel-only fuel purchases will ensure your drivers don’t use them to purchase unleaded gasoline or other fuel types for their private cars. It also prevents drivers from accidentally purchasing the wrong fuel and pumping it into diesel trucks, which would create many more problems and repair expenses.

3. Limit the Number of Transactions per Day

You can customize your CFN gas cards to limit the number of fuel transactions per day to prevent drivers from making too many fuel stops in one day. Limiting fuel transactions helps ensure that your drivers purchase the fuel needed when they stop so that they don’t have to stop again too soon.

4. Require CFN Fuel Sites Only

CFN fuel cards can offer great discounts on diesel fuel when used at CFN fuel sites. Although CFN gas cards can be used at any of the 57,000+ retail gas stations affiliated with CFN, the retail locations don’t offer the same discounts and product controls as CFN fuel sites.

Restricting or locking out retail gas stations on your CFN fuel cards will ensure your drivers only visit CFN fuel sites and take advantage of their fuel discounts. Plus, the CFN fuel sites are better equipped to enforce the controls set on your cards.

5. Limit the Number of Gallons

You probably know how much fuel your commercial trucks need and how often they should receive fuel. With this information, you can customize your CFN gas cards by limiting the number of gallons of diesel your truck drivers can purchase per month, week, or day. Doing this will prevent your truck drivers from consuming too much fuel for trips unrelated to their jobs.

6. Generate Automated Activity Reports

CFN gas cards allow you to generate automated activity reports and send them to your preferred email address. These reports showcase your fleet’s fuel purchase and consumption activities so that you know all the drivers are following your objectives. You can also set email alerts to notify you whenever a fuel transaction has been made. That way, you will immediately know if an unauthorized or unwanted transaction was made.
