Fuel Solutions, for Local Non-IFTA Fleets.

Hey Everyone,

So my first little pet project, is to help my new company save money on fuel! Since this company is small (Less than 10 on road dump trucks, 15 pcs of Heavy Equipment, a few 1 Ton crew/service trucks) They dont have EFS or any of the big name cards (yet).

All my fueling experience, is with on road/IFTA registered companies. Since this entire fleet operates within the 160km exemption radius, they don't need IFTA or to pay the fuel taxes at commercial cardlocks/truckstops.

So my question is this, are there such things are "non IFTA" Fuel Cards for the big cardlocks? (Chevron, Flying J, UFA, Petro Pass, ESSO etc etc). Currently, the company is using Business Cash Back Credit Cards, and fueling the trucks and 1 tons, at retail gas stations which have the space, and diesel pumps on the end of the fuel island and the lowest posted prices. The Dyed diesel for the fuel trailer (for the equipment) comes from Fed Coop on a small business fuel card.

So, just wanted some idea's, before I go bothering fuel reps, as they can be a little touchy and dismissive if you ask to many questions lol.

Thanks guys!

 

They used to do that, but all the companies are charging an INSANE premium now! ALSO, they basically want a "blank check" incase you "dispute" how much fuel they dispense. Plus the owner tells me, since 2020, they have a bad habit of not showing up.

 

G&B/GP fuels seems to have something similar. Fed Coop only has one Cardlock in Calgary now (Where we get our dyed diesel), all the retail stations are run by Calgary Coop, and they don't offer anything discount wise. I'm going to see if Fed Coop will open our card up to clear non-IFTA diesel.

Chevron CFN (UFA also falls under this umbrella) seems to have a decent card also. Petro Pass is expensive, Esso is a nightmare to deal with. Flying J is EFS which again is all IFTA and they want to see high volumes.

***Edit** That Hughes Petroleum is SLICK! that is exactly what i'm looking for! They even have truck washes. Gotta be something like that in Calgary. Its crazy, I've lived in Alberta all my life, never heard of Hughes before.

 

So Clear Retail diesel (from Gas Stations) has lower taxes on it than Commercial Diesel (from Flying J and Petro Pass etc etc), so if you're local only and don't have an IFTA account, you want fuel cards that offer the Retail Clear Diesel Price - Discount, not the IFTA Commercial Diesel Price - Discount. Yes if you run inter-provincial/cross border, you need an IFTA account, and you owe those taxes regardless where you buy fuel (buying commercial diesel is basically buying IFTA credits).

So far I have Chevron/CFN/UFA and Suncor offering me Non-IFTA Clear diesel pricing. Right now in Calgary, Retail Diesel is about $1.57L and Commercial is $1.66L before discount.
