⛽ Fuel prices going up… but rates not matching 📉
If you’re not controlling fuel, you’re losing profit.
1. Slow it down
65 mph is the money zone
Anything over that = burning profit
2. Cut idling time
1 hour idle = almost 1 gallon gone
That adds up FAST over a week
3. Check tire pressure weekly
Low tires = more drag = more fuel
4. Compare fuel cards for the BEST discounts 💳
Not all fuel cards are the same
👉 Top options to look into:
- EFS
- Comdata
- RTS
- AtoB (flexible + works almost anywhere)
5. Plan your fuel stops
Don’t just fuel anywhere — prices vary by state
Use your fuel card strategically
6. Watch your load weight
Heavier loads = higher fuel cost
Make sure the rate actually covers it
7. Stay on maintenance
Dirty filters & bad injectors = lower MPG
