Busses, Taxis and Limousines are all vehicles used to transport people from point A to point B. But when it comes to how each needs to be fueled by their respective transportation companies, each have their own individual needs. These distinct needs between vehicles are largely based on the different ways in which transportation companies seek to serve their customers. Fortunately, CFN has everyone covered.
Controls
The most important thing a fuel card needs to accomplish, is to mitigate the possibility for misuse or fraud. CFN does just that by implementing a highly effective system of controls. As a fleet manager, you will have full say over when, where, and for what your cards are used for. As well as have access to who in particular used the card to make a purchase.
DEF Access
Access to DEF is an absolute necessity for busses who need to meet city emission requirements. With a CFN card, bus drivers will be able to efficiently access DEF. As it will be available at the pump at many of the very same stations a driver would use to fuel.
Aisle Access
Busses and limousines are large vehicles. So attempting to fuel vehicles as large as these at street corner fuel stations is inevitably a complicated task. Fortunately, CFN sites, which cater most prominently to 18-wheel trucks have outfitted their fuel sites so that even the largest bus or limousine will be able to fuel comfortably.
Wholesale Pricing
At CFN cardlocks, stations which are only accessed with a fuel card, fuel is sold at the wholesale price. Meaning that in comparison to the average price of fuel sold at nearby retail stations, fuel purchased at a CFN site is anywhere from 20-40 cents cheaper per gallon. Which really adds up, especially considering how many gallons a fleet of busses, limousines or taxis purchase in a month let alone a year. In most cases, new CFN customers report thousands of dollars worth of savings.
Retail Option w/ Fuelman
Taxes and Limo’s, unlike a bus or fuel truck, don’t run along a route. Which means that while a bus can fuel at the same place every day, a taxi or limo requires a bit more utility. Thankfully, CFN cards are outfitted with Fuelman. Fuelman, another popular fuel card distributor, specializes in giving commercial vehicles access to retail stations. As a result, vehicles using CFN cards have access to both cardlock and retail stations. Which then allows vehicles with variable routes the ability to fuel with less restriction.
