Fuel & Mileage Tracking Features That Actually Reduce Cost
Fuel is one of the biggest operating expenses in trucking and logistics. The right TMS module connects mileage + fuel data to every truck and load—so you can control spend, detect waste, and file IFTA faster.
Mileage Automation
- GPS / ELD-based miles by trip, day, and state
- Odometer reads (manual + automated)
- Loaded vs empty mile tracking
- Route + lane mileage history
Fuel Purchase Tracking
- Fuel transactions by truck/driver/card
- Gallons, price per gallon, total spend
- Taxable vs non-taxable fuel classification
- Station-level transaction history
IFTA Compliance
- Jurisdiction miles + gallons summary
- Quarterly IFTA export-ready reporting
- Audit-ready document storage
- Exception handling for missing trips
Profit + Efficiency
- MPG and cost-per-mile dashboards
- Fuel burn by lane, customer, and driver
- Idle / waste indicators (where supported)
- Margin impact per load
Automated Mileage Capture (GPS / ELD / Odometer)
Stop guessing miles or reconciling spreadsheets. A strong TMS captures miles automatically, categorizes them by state/jurisdiction, and ties them to trips and trucks for accurate reporting.
- Trip-based mileage capture and state breakdown
- Loaded vs deadhead mileage visibility
- Odometer reads and mileage validation
- History by lane, truck, and driver
Fuel Tracking by Truck, Driver, Card & Location
Consolidate fuel purchases into one system. Track gallons, price-per-gallon, and total spend across all trucks—then drill down by driver, card, vendor, and date range.
- Fuel purchases with full transaction details
- Fuel tax classification (taxable/non-taxable)
- Fuel advances and deductions support
- Cost-per-gallon trends over time
IFTA Mileage + Fuel Tax Reporting (Quarterly Ready)
Your IFTA process should be push-button, not a monthly fire drill. A TMS fuel + mileage module should organize jurisdiction miles and gallons automatically, flag missing trips, and export reports for filing.
- Jurisdiction miles summary by vehicle and quarter
- Gallons purchased by state
- Exception reporting for missing/duplicate entries
- Audit-ready logs and supporting documents
Cost-Per-Mile, MPG & Profitability Analytics
Tracking is only half the battle—optimization is where savings happen. Tie fuel + mileage to loads, lanes, and drivers to understand what routes and behaviors are profitable (and which are leaking money).
- MPG trends by truck and driver
- Cost-per-mile by lane and customer
- Fuel spend vs revenue per load
- Month-over-month fuel variance reporting
Fuel Fraud & Anomaly Alerts
Reduce waste and prevent abuse with automated controls. A robust system flags suspicious fuel transactions and mileage anomalies that inflate IFTA risk and operating cost.
- Out-of-route or unexpected-location purchase flags
- Gallons vs tank capacity anomaly detection
- Fuel purchase frequency alerts
- Missing mileage/trip exceptions for compliance
(Alert types depend on data sources and integrations. Add/remove items based on what your product supports.)
Integrations: ELD, GPS, Fuel Cards & Accounting Exports
The best results come from connecting your operational data sources into one reporting layer. Fuel and mileage tracking should plug into your existing stack and export clean summaries for accounting.
- ELD/GPS data feeds for mileage capture
- Fuel card transaction imports
- Driver/truck master data sync
- Export to accounting tools (e.g., invoices/expenses)
Swap in the exact integration logos and providers you support (e.g., ELD vendors, fuel card networks, accounting tools).
