What Are CFN Cardlock Stations?
CFN (Commercial Fueling Network) is a closed loop network of fuel stations both retail and cardlock that help fleets to fuel securely and efficiently.
CFN cardlock stations are automated fueling sites designed specifically for fleet use. They offer wholesale based pricing, are open 24/7, and are unmanned stations so no long wait times due to convenient stores.
To fuel at a CFN cardlock station you must have a CFN fuel card or other accepted fleet fuel card.
Why CFN is Perfect for California Fleets
With California’s high fuel prices and fast paced economy being able to fuel efficiently and at a lower cost is imperative and CFN stations are designed to help fleets do just that. They have wholesale-based pricing and automated 24/7 fueling sites.
CFN also has extensive coverage across the state, with over 500 stations in 58 different counties in industrial and urban areas, and along major highways.

FAQ – CFN Locations in California
A CFN cardlock station is a commercial fueling site within the Commercial Fueling Network (CFN). Unlike retail gas stations, cardlock stations are designed for fleets and businesses, offering secure 24/7 fueling access across hundreds of California stations.
There are over 600 CFN cardlock stations in California, making it the largest commercial fueling network in the state.
Yes. Cardlock stations require a CFN fleet fuel card for access. This ensures security, proper reporting, and compliance with state regulations
CFN locations are built for fleets and businesses, not the public. They offer wholesale-based pricing, detailed fuel reports, and large-vehicle access—advantages retail gas stations in California don’t typically provide.
CFN cardlock stations offer several key advantages for fleets fueling in California and across the Western U.S.:
- Wholesale-based pricing (cost-plus): Drivers fuel at market-competitive prices, not retail rates.
- 18-wheel access: With more CFN locations than truck stops in the Western U.S., large trucks and trailers can fuel conveniently.
- Cardlock-level controls: CFN provides the strictest security and purchase controls in the fuel card industry, helping reduce misuse and unauthorized transactions.
- Access to dyed diesel: Fleets can save by fueling off-road equipment with tax-free dyed diesel at many California CFN stations.
- DEF at the pump: Drivers can purchase Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) at the same time as diesel fuel, eliminating the need to carry cases on the road.
Unlike retail pricing, cost-plus pricing ties fuel costs directly to wholesale market prices, with a small margin added. This gives fleets transparent, competitive fuel pricing across all CFN fuel stations in California.
