How is Fuel Optimization different from Fuel, Toll & IFTA?

Fuel Optimization builds the lowest-cost fuel plan before the truck leaves the yard using live pricing, vendor discounts, truck-specific rules, and true price after tax. Fuel, Toll & IFTA focuses on capturing transactions, allocating cost to loads, and generating IFTA-ready jurisdictional reports from the miles and gallons already in the system.

When does the fuel plan get created?

As soon as a load is dispatched. LoadStop pulls a legal driveable route, plots fuel stops along the highway segments, compares stop prices after discounts and IFTA tax, and sends routing and fueling instructions to the driver as one assignment.

Does every truck get the same fuel recommendation?

No. Recommendations use each truck's tank capacity, MPG, current fuel level, and minimum reserve, plus minimum purchase and ending fuel rules, so two trucks on the same lane can receive different stop plans when their numbers differ.

How does LoadStop factor IFTA into the stop decision?

IFTA tax is removed from the comparison so the plan is built on true cost after tax, not the pump price alone. That keeps the cheapest-looking stop from winning when another stop is cheaper once tax is applied.

What happens if a driver goes off the planned fuel stops?

Out-of-route and off-plan stops are flagged as they happen, and compliance reporting shows how often drivers follow the plan they were given so managers can coach from real trip data.

The Most Trusted Logistics Solution

Core Capabilities

Build the Lowest-Cost Fuel Plan for Every Load Automatically

Turn scattered fuel decisions into one plan, built from live pricing, truck-specific data, and vendor discounts.

Automatic Trip Fueling

A fuel plan builds itself the moment a load is dispatched, so drivers get routing and fueling instructions together.

Lowest-Cost Route Pricing

Every stop along the route gets checked against live pricing to build the cheapest trip possible, not the first stop a driver happens to pass.

True Price After Tax

IFTA tax gets factored out of every comparison, so the plan is built on what fuel actually costs.

Truck-Specific Fuel Rules

Tank size, MPG, current fuel level, and minimum reserve apply per truck, so no two trucks get treated the same if their numbers differ.

Vendor Discount Network

Negotiated pricing and driver perks apply automatically wherever they are available.

Out-of-Route Alerts

Deviations get flagged as they happen, with reporting on how often drivers follow the plan they were given.

AUTOMATIC TRIP FUELING

Get a Fuel Plan Before the Truck Leaves the Yard

The moment a load is dispatched, the system pulls the route, plots fuel stops along every highway segment, and builds the lowest-cost trip against a route average benchmark.

Pulls a legal, driveable route specific to that load and plots fuel stops along it
Checks every stop's price after vendor discount and IFTA tax, not just the price on the sign
Sets a route average benchmark and builds the plan to beat it
Sends routing and fueling instructions to the driver as one assignment

AI FUEL OPTIMIZATION

Every Truck Runs Its Own Numbers

Fuel decisions get built from each truck's own data: tank size, MPG, current fuel level, and minimum reserve, so a recommendation is never generic.

Tracks tank capacity, consumption rate, and current fuel level per truck
Calculates effective range from minimum fuel level and minimum purchase amount
Requires a minimum ending fuel level so a truck never arrives running low
Flags out-of-route stops and reports on compliance with the plan

Success Stories

Proven Results From Real Operations

See how fleets and brokerages across the country are using LoadStop to operate more efficiently.

HD Express

Fleet Carrier

11%

Reduction in fuel cost per mile

"Fuel cost per mile reduced by 11% in the first quarter"

HD Express connected their ELD fleet to LoadStop's fuel monitoring console and rolled out driver behavior scorecards across 48 trucks. Coaching conversations triggered by score drops reduced hard braking and idle time, delivering an 11% cost-per-mile improvement within 90 days.

ALCS Transport

Multi-Terminal

$86K

Annual fuel savings identified

"$86K in annual fuel savings identified across 5 terminals"

ALCS Transport used LoadStop's route-level fuel cost analysis to identify three high-volume lanes with chronic overrun patterns. Rerouting those corridors and adjusting load pricing recovered $86,000 in projected annual fuel savings across their entire network.

Kondor Express

Regional Carrier

34%

Reduction in fleet-wide idle time

"Idle time cut by 34% fleet-wide after scorecard rollout"

Kondor Express activated idle time tracking and automated driver alerts through LoadStop. Within 60 days of sharing weekly scorecards with drivers, fleet-wide idle time dropped by 34%, the equivalent of reclaiming thousands of gallons of diesel annually.
