What to Expect From Our Fuel Card Program
Choosing to get a fuel card for your trucking company comes with several benefits. Check out what you can expect when signing up for a Porter Freight fuel card!
Truck drivers have to make fuel purchases to operate their trucking company and using a fuel card for those purchases means that you won’t ever have to pay the full price of fuel ever again. You save thousands of dollars over the course of the year on fuel. The savings from those discounts from your fuel expenses end up covering the cost of your factoring fee. What’s more, using a fuel card is one of the best ways to reduce your trucking cost per mile.
It is easy to control your spending when using a fuel card. Regardless of whether you have a fleet of trucks or you’re an owner-operator, you are in control. If you have a truck driver who drives for you, you can control and monitor their spending and set budgets and purchase limits. Having this amount of control limits fraudulent activity as well.
Having a fuel card is extremely convenient. You or your fleet will never have to pay for fuel out of pocket and no one will have to incur the cost of fuel. There is no handling of receipts or having to track someone down for reimbursement. Having a fuel card allows you and your drivers to feel comfortable while on the road.
The more flexible your fuel card is, the better. The best fuel cards offer additional benefits like discounts on tires, repairs, lodging and food and drink at partnering locations. The card app allows you to find the lowest fuel prices and closest locations right at your fingertips. Some apps may also have IFTA reporting too.
An additional benefit of having a fuel card is fuel advances. Fuel advances work by your funds getting distributed directly onto your fuel card. When you work with Porter Freight Funding, we will advance your funding straight to your fuel card. This brings you comfort in knowing that your fuel card will always be loaded and you’ll never need to worry about if you or your fleet, have enough money for fuel to get home or to your next location.

A trucking fuel card is a payment card designed for trucking companies and owner-operators that provides diesel discounts, fuel purchase tracking, and spending controls at truck stops nationwide. Many fuel cards also include reporting tools that help carriers monitor fuel costs and manage operating expenses.
Fuel cards help truck drivers save money by providing negotiated diesel discounts at participating truck stops. Instead of paying the full pump price, drivers receive reduced fuel pricing that lowers their cost per mile and improves profitability on every load.
Fuel savings vary by location, but many truckers save anywhere from $0.30 to over $1.00 per gallon depending on network pricing. Some Porter Fuel Card users report saving hundreds of dollars per month on diesel fuel.
The Porter Fuel Card is accepted at 2,500+ truck stops nationwide, giving owner-operators and fleets access to diesel discounts across major freight corridors and trucking routes.
Fuel cards are typically better for trucking companies because they provide diesel discounts, purchase controls, and fuel reporting tools that traditional credit cards do not offer. This helps trucking businesses manage fuel costs and track expenses more efficiently.
Yes. Fuel cards are available for both owner-operators and trucking fleets. Many factoring companies, including Porter Freight Funding, offer fuel cards specifically designed to help small carriers access diesel discounts and manage fuel purchases.
While many customers use the Porter Fuel Card alongside freight factoring, it is designed to support trucking companies that want better fuel pricing and expense management tools regardless of company size.
Fuel is one of the largest operating expenses in trucking. Diesel discounts help trucking companies reduce cost per mile, protect profit margins when fuel prices rise, and keep more revenue from each load.
Fuel cards help trucking companies track fuel purchases, monitor spending by driver or vehicle, and generate reports that simplify accounting and expense management.
When choosing a trucking fuel card, companies should look for:
- strong diesel discount networks
- nationwide acceptance
- transparent pricing
- fuel reporting tools
- reliable customer support
These features help trucking businesses maximize fuel savings and control operating costs.
Trucking companies can reduce diesel fuel costs by using fuel cards with negotiated discounts, planning fuel stops along major freight routes, tracking fuel purchases, and choosing fuel providers that offer lower pricing through trucking networks.
The best fuel card for truck drivers is one that combines strong diesel discounts, a large nationwide acceptance network, transparent pricing, and tools that help manage fuel expenses. The right fuel card should allow drivers to save money at the pump while also tracking purchases, controlling spending, and simplifying expense reporting.
Many trucking companies look for fuel cards that provide:
- diesel discounts at major truck stops
- nationwide acceptance across freight corridors
- fuel purchase tracking and reporting
- spending controls for drivers or vehicles
- clear pricing with minimal hidden fees
Fuel cards designed for trucking businesses can help reduce one of the industry’s biggest operating costs. Fuel often represents 15–30% of a trucking company’s operating expenses, so even small per-gallon savings can significantly improve profit margins.
Programs like the Porter Fuel Card are designed specifically for owner-operators and fleets who want diesel discounts and better visibility into fuel spending while keeping their trucks moving.
