Well-managed carriers procure fuel at wholesale prices, but the DOE provides a retail index for diesel fuel. Fuel Recovery calculates reimbursements according to the price your carriers incur at the pump.
Time
Wholesale diesel prices fluctuate frequently. Fuel Recovery clients capture daily fuel price changes, ensuring they always pay an accurate price.
Tax
Over-the-road fuel taxes vary dramatically by state and make up a large portion of total diesel costs. Fuel Recovery accounts for taxes by state, the way carriers pay fuel taxes.
Geography
Diesel commodity costs vary substantially from one market to the next. Fuel Recovery calculates fuel prices specific to each lane your goods travel on.
