Fuel: start here (Dashboard, MPG List, Fuel Transactions, EFS Fuel Cards, Accessorial Codes, Fuel Locations, Fuel Cards)

Modified on Thu, 12 Nov at 1:42 AM

A map of the Fuel menu: what each page is for and which article explains it. Start here if you are new to fuel in OpenRoad.

Who can do this: which menu items you see depends on your role. The Fuel menu shows when you may see fuel card transactions.

How fuel data flows

Fuel cards are set up on the Fuel Cards page, and each card is assigned to a driver for a period.
Purchases arrive from your card providers (EFS, Comdata, FleetOne, Relay) or are imported or typed in on Fuel Transactions. Each purchase takes its driver from the card's assignment for that date.
A purchase with no driver waits on the Dashboard until someone assigns it.
The MPG List uses the purchases (gallons and odometer) to work out miles per gallon per truck.
Fuel Locations (Pilot and Love's stops) help OpenRoad label purchases as Pilot or Loves and plan fuel stops.
