Fuel is a big expense category for many companies and accurately tracking it by project is important for companies that use job cost accounting. The problem is that when fuel is paid for with cash or a regular credit card, accounting teams are stuck chasing receipts, asking drivers which job the fuel was for, or spreading costs across projects after the fact.

Fuel cards make job costing much cleaner. By capturing a job number at the pump, fuel purchases are automatically tagged with the job number in your reporting, so you can see exactly how much fuel each project is using without manual accounting work. In this guide, we’ll walk through the most practical ways to track fuel cost by job number with a fuel card, why fuel cards are important for job costing, and show how different industries use fuel cards to improve job costing accuracy.

Red dyed diesel offers upfront savings for businesses that operate off-road vehicles because it’s tax exempt. But buying it isn’t as simple as pulling into any gas station and swiping a credit card.

In this guide, we break down how red dyed diesel fuel cards work, where you can actually buy red dyed diesel, why many stations require a fuel card for these purchases, and which fuel cards give you the best access to red dyed diesel locations nationwide. Whether you’re fueling construction equipment, agricultural vehicles, or refrigerated trailers, this guide will help you find a red dyed diesel fuel card for your operation.

Fuel card reports are often the most overlooked, yet one of the most useful features of a fuel card. Instead of combing through credit card statements or chasing paper receipts, you can pull detailed fuel reports from your fuel card portal that save hours on accounting and fleet compliance reporting.

In this guide, we break down the most common types of fuel card reports, how businesses actually use them, and how to connect fuel card data to your accounting and GPS software. Whether you’re filing IFTA, tracking fuel by driver or vehicle, managing on-site tanks, or settling with owner-operators, you’ll see how the right fuel card reports can save time, reduce errors, and give you better insight into your fuel costs.

Choosing between AtoB and RoadFlex isn’t just about discounts. It’s about how each card fits the way your fleet actually operates. Both are modern, Visa/Mastercard-based fuel cards with strong controls, fraud protection, and nationwide acceptance, but they’re built with slightly different use cases in mind. AtoB leans heavily toward trucking and owner-operator fleets, while RoadFlex positions itself as a flexible option for fleets across many industries.

In this guide, we break down AtoB vs. RoadFlex side by side, so you can see where they’re similar, where they differ, and which one makes more sense for your business. We’ll compare acceptance, discounts, fees, reviews, fraud protection, controls, and reporting to help you choose the best card for your fleet.

When setting up a fuel card program, one of the first decisions you’ll make is whether to assign cards to your drivers or to your vehicles. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—the right setup depends on how your fleet operates day to day.

In this guide, we break down the differences between driver fuel cards and vehicle fuel cards, explain how each option works at the pump, and outline when one makes more sense than the other. By the end, you’ll know which card setup gives you better control, cleaner reporting, and less administrative hassle for your fleet.

Fuel card controls are what turn a fuel card from just another payment method into an actual fuel management tool. Without fuel card purchase limits in place, fuel spend can get messy fast. Whether that’s someone fueling a personal vehicle or grabbing food and drinks and adding them to a gas station charge on the company credit card.

In this guide, we break down the most common fuel card controls, explain what each one does, and show you how to set them up in a way that protects your business without slowing your drivers down. You’ll learn how to use purchase limits, authorized fueling times, location restrictions, and alerts to reduce theft, tighten accountability, and keep fuel costs under control as your fleet grows.

Fuel expenses can get complicated quickly when you’re running a fleet. Drivers stop at different stations, paper receipts disappear, and a generic “gas station” line item on a credit card statement doesn’t guarantee the purchase was actually fuel. A gas only credit card solves that by restricting transactions to fuel, adding spend controls, and giving you clear reporting on who fueled, what they bought, where, and when.

In this guide, we break down the best gas only credit cards for business in 2026, how they compare on discounts, fees, and acceptance, and what to look for so you pick the right option for your fleet. Whether you’re running a handful of vehicles or a growing fleet across multiple regions, you’ll walk away with insight on how to choose the best card for your fleet.

Gas station branded fuel cards can be a solid option for businesses that fuel consistently with one brand. You get a per gallon rebate, purchase controls, and fuel reporting.

In this guide, we compare the top gas station branded fuel cards for business. You’ll see how branded fuel cards work, what discounts and fees to expect, and the key factors to consider when choosing a branded fuel card.
