Your fuel discounts aren’t making it to the pump. I fix that.

Most fuel decisions happen with nobody from the office in the truck. Flow, The Fuel Decision Layer, sends the truck a plan before the trip, built on your negotiated discounts. Book a demo: valverideflow.com/contact

Diesel board, Indiana. National median $6.15/gal. Indiana median $6.69. That $0.54 gap vs the national median hits fleets on I-65, I-70, and I-80. Screenshot it. Send it to whoever owns the fuel number. Book a demo: valverideflow.com/contact?ut…

This week's fuel stops: planned before the trucks roll, or picked from the cab one at a time? Flow plans each stop at in-network locations where your discounts already apply and sends it to the truck. Book a demo: valverideflow.com/contact

Fuel stops planned before the truck rolls, at in-network stops where your discounts already apply. And if the tank drops while the truck is parked and the driver is away, you can hear about it that day. Book a demo: valverideflow.com/contact

National diesel median is $6.20/gal on our live board, down from $6.36 last week. Ohio has the widest spread right now. $5.97 at the cheap end, $6.89 at the expensive end, across 287 stations. Same state, 92 cents a gallon. Live board: valverideflow.com/diesel-pri…

National diesel median sits at $6.46/gal on our live board. Wyoming still shows a $0.90 gap between the cheap end and the expensive end. That is where fleets leave money when negotiated rates never reach the stop the truck hits. Flow is The Fuel Decision Layer. It plans inside the discounts you already negotiated, then sends the plan to your truck. Book a demo: valverideflow.com/contact

Q4 fuel line check for dispatch: National diesel median: $6.40/gal on our live board. Fall freight is stacking. Surcharge print still lags the pump. Flow is The Fuel Decision Layer. It lands the discounts you already negotiated (Pilot, Love's, TA, or yours) on the stop. We send the plan to the truck (ELD or cell). Book a demo: valverideflow.com/contact

Diesel board, California. National median $6.20/gal. California median $8.16 (range $7.80–$8.30). If your trucks run I-5, I-40, or I-10 through California, that ~$1.96 gap vs the national median is the fuel line, not a footnote. Screenshot it. Send it to whoever owns the fuel number.

We shipped parked-truck fuel theft monitoring. When diesel is this expensive, fuel theft is real. A parked truck is still a fuel tank. If the level drops while it is sitting still, and there is no matching fuel card fill, that is a dispatch review, not a shrug. Over the weekend the alerts found about $2,500 for one customer and about $500 for another. Unnamed on purpose. We are doing everything we can think of to support customers on this. Fleets can put a person on the alerts too. We are wiring staff auto-alerts (email or text) so the right person gets the ping the next time a parked tank drops. Second wedge under fuel optimization. Your discounts still have to hit the pump. Book a demo: valverideflow.com/contact?ut…

Monday reminder for dispatch and ops: Your fuel surcharge is a lagging indicator. Diesel moved over the weekend. The table in the TMS did not. Every penny of Pilot, Love’s, TA, or the discounts you already negotiated only counts if the plan lands on a stop that accepts them. We’ll optimize your lanes in the background first. Drivers see nothing until you say so. No contract. Cancel anytime. Book a demo: valverideflow.com/contact?ut…

AAA: US diesel averaged $6.23/gal Monday. If your surcharge table still prints last week’s number, Monday’s loads are already under water before the truck leaves the yard. Update the print. Then make sure the discounts you already negotiated (Pilot, Love’s, TA, or whoever you signed) actually hit the pump.

Pennsylvania diesel median: $6.50/gal. National median: $6.20. On I-80 / I-76 that $0.30 gap is a dispatch call, not a driver preference. Same load. Wrong fill and the fuel line eats it. Screenshot it. Send it to whoever owns the fuel number. Book a demo: valverideflow.com/contact?ut… Board: valverideflow.com/diesel-pri…
