CFN Fuel Card: Greater discounts while managing your fleet

FAQs

• Who can apply for an account?

  Any business, sole proprietor, owner-operator or independent contractor can submit an application. Accounts are set up for commercial use, not consumers. The only requirement for accessing commercial fueling network’s (CFN) features is that your drivers must meet a certain fleet fuel threshold every month, highlighting the focus on opportunities for businesses to streamline their fueling process.

• Are there minimum purchase requirements?

  We set up accounts for customers that use at least $1,500 per month on average. This ensures our customers get the most out of our custom reports and savings opportunities.

   

• Is there an APR finance fee?

  We don't add a fee for late invoice payments, but we encourage payments to be made on time to avoid any service disruption. If an account is closed with an unpaid balance, we may elect to charge 1.5% per month until the balance is resolved.

• How do I find accepting sites?

  Find locations using our site locator webpage, mobile app, or if you're a customer, we can provide a map book. For more detailed information, please reach out to us. Our customer service team can also assist in finding locations while you're on the road.

• Can I use my CFN fuel card at other sites?

  Most customers fuel at CFN stations because of the discounts there. However, cards include optional access to 57,000 retail gas stations and truck stops if you need extra coverage and the convenience of Chevron, Pilot Flying J, Love's, among other brands.

• How do you compare to other vendors?

  Our aim is to provide great service, but don't just take our word for it. Check out our reviews page to see what customers think. We allow independent, third-party reviews because we want real feedback, not just flattery.

• Are there any contracts?

  No contracts, no worries. We stand behind our products and services, but if you're unhappy for any reason, you can easily cancel your account. Our fleet fueling system is flexible and doesn’t have complicated terms for leaving.

• What does CFN stand for?

  It's an acronym for Commercial Fueling Network, established in 1988. As a leading fuel program, it offers cardholders access to more than 3,000 discount fuel sites across multiple states.

• What are cardlocks?

  Cardlock is a term that is often used to describe a Commercial Fueling Network station. They are unattended fuel sites that are designed for commercial vehicles. A cardlock fuel program is a fuel card that allows users to access these facilities. Learn more about CFN cardlocks to see if they're right for your fleet.

• What are the benefits of CFN sites?

  Designed with commercial vehicles in mind, CFN sites feature facilities for quick and safe refueling, including overhead clearance, space for wide turns, and high-speed pumps. They're intended primarily for commercial users, ensuring minimal downtime.

• How does CFN ensure secure and appropriate fuel usage?

  CFN offers industry-leading purchase controls, such as fuel type restrictions, to prevent misuse. These controls are fully operational at CFN sites, but cardholders should use caution at retail and truck stop locations within the extended network due to different dispenser setups.

• Can dyed diesel be purchased through CFN?

  Yes, CFN facilitates the acquisition of off-road or dyed diesel, simplifying compliance and procurement processes for eligible businesses.

• What savings can CFN customers expect?

  Savings vary by region depending on how competitive local retail rates are, so it’s difficult to give an exact estimate. Customers in states with high fuel prices (e.g., California) typically experience the biggest savings. Our cost-plus or retail-minus pricing models ensure competitive rates for most customers.

• Which industries typically use CFN?

• Where are CFN locations found?

  Primarily in Western states like California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, and Utah, CFN's network is densely populated in major metro areas and along key highways, ensuring easy access for commercial fleets. When you compare the number of cardlock sites to truck stops in these states, it becomes clear how numerous they really are.
