A Closer Look at Fleet Gas Card Solutions
Fleet gas cards are specialized payment instruments designed for businesses that require regular fuel purchases for their vehicles. Unlike standard credit cards, these cards offer features tailored to fleet management, including detailed reporting, spending controls, and fuel rebates. For construction crews that are constantly on the move, fleet gas cards offer a centralized and efficient method to manage fuel expenditures.

Sunoco's Fleet Card Offerings
Sunoco provides two primary fleet card options to cater to different business needs:

Sunoco Business Fleet Card: Ideal for businesses seeking maximum savings, this card offers rebates of up to 6 cents per gallon at over 5,000 Sunoco locations. Notably, there are no setup, card, or annual fees associated with this card.

Sunoco Fleet Universal Card: Designed for businesses requiring broader fueling flexibility, this card is accepted at 95% of U.S. gas stations and offers similar rebates at Sunoco stations. This widespread acceptance ensures that construction crews can refuel conveniently, regardless of their location.

Key Benefits for Construction Crews
Implementing Sunoco fleet gas cards can provide construction companies with several advantages:
Cost Savings: With rebates of up to 6 cents per gallon, businesses can achieve substantial savings over time. For instance, a company consuming 10,000 gallons monthly could save up to $600 each month.

Enhanced Security and Control: Each card requires a unique driver identification number (Driver ID) at the pump, allowing businesses to monitor who is fueling, when, and where. Additionally, spending limits can be set by amount, location, time of day, and more, helping to prevent unauthorized purchases and reduce fraud.

Detailed Reporting and Expense Tracking: Automatic accounting features eliminate the need to collect paper receipts. Businesses can access detailed transaction data, view and download reports, and monitor fuel expenses in real-time through online and mobile account management tools.

Flexible Fueling Options: The Sunoco Fleet Universal Card's acceptance at 95% of U.S. gas stations ensures that construction crews have the flexibility to refuel at convenient locations, minimizing downtime and keeping projects on schedule.

Mobile Account Management: The Fleet SmartHub mobile app allows managers to oversee fuel expenditures on the go. Features include viewing transactions, making or scheduling payments, managing cards, and detecting potential misuse, all from a mobile device.

Implementing Fleet Gas Cards in Construction Operations
Integrating fleet gas cards into a construction company's operations involves several steps:

Assess Fueling Needs: Evaluate the company's fuel consumption patterns, including the number of vehicles, average miles driven, and typical fueling locations. This assessment will help determine which fleet card aligns best with the company's requirements.

Choose the Appropriate Card: Based on the assessment, select between the Sunoco Business Fleet Card for maximum savings at Sunoco stations or the Sunoco Fleet Universal Card for broader acceptance across various fueling locations.

Set Up Controls and Policies: Establish spending limits, authorized fueling times, and designated fueling locations. Assign unique Driver IDs to each crew member to monitor individual fuel usage and enhance security.

Train Employees: Educate construction crews on the proper use of fleet gas cards, emphasizing the importance of security measures such as safeguarding Driver IDs and adhering to company fueling policies.

Monitor and Analyze Reports: Regularly review transaction reports to identify any discrepancies, monitor fuel consumption trends, and adjust policies as needed to optimize fuel management.
