Fleet Gas Cards for the Agriculture Industry
An agriculture fleet fuel card from Fuel Express covers the road side of farm fueling: trucks hauling livestock, produce, timber, or dairy fuel at 320,000+ locations, with per-card spending limits, fuel or maintenance designations, and reporting that tracks tax-exempt purchases. Off-road equipment and dyed diesel questions get answered during setup — no startup, annual, or hidden fees either way.
An agriculture fuel card is a fleet payment card for the farm vehicles that travel public roads — the hauling, delivery, and service side of an agricultural operation. Off-road equipment fueling often runs on different fuel and different tax rules, which is exactly why the two need clean separation in your records.
The agriculture industry is one of the most important industries in the world. From raising animals to growing crops to logging wood and more, agriculture businesses have a variety of vehicles they depend on in order to stay successful. At Fuel Express, we can help those in the agriculture business simplify their operations with an agriculture fleet fuel card.
Budget Features
Our fleet fuel cards give you the opportunity to get your budget on track and help it stay there. Each of our cards can be assigned a specific spending limit and can be designated for fuel, maintenance, or a combination of both. In addition, you’ll have the ability to set purchase restrictions to make sure your drivers don’t buy items that are unapproved. By limiting their spending and focusing on certain purchases, you can avoid going over your budget.
Agriculture Fuel Card Acceptance & Driver Tracking
If your agriculture business is responsible for transporting goods (such as meats, dairy, logs, fish, etc.), it’s important to make sure your drivers are at their optimal efficiency. When they have to take the time to find an accepted gas station, they can lengthen their delivery times and decrease productivity. With fleet fuel cards from Fuel Express, however, your drivers can fill up at more than 320,000 locations around the country and save time during their routes.
When you add our GPS Solutions to our fleet fuel cards, you’ll have the ultimate driver tracking ability. Our fleet fuel cards track the time, date, and location of every purchase made, which can help you know where your drivers are. With our GPS Solutions, your agriculture business can also set up driver reports and alerts so you can monitor their actions.
Our fleet fuel cards also come with benefits such as:
- 24/7 customer service
- Flexible billing and payment options
- Pump prompts for added security
- Vehicle MPG tracking
- And more!

Can a fuel card handle farm tax exemptions and dyed diesel?
The tax landscape is real: agricultural operations in many states qualify for sales or excise tax exemptions on fuel used in farming, and off-road equipment commonly runs dyed diesel that is exempt from road taxes [Sources: pfleet.com, comptroller.texas.gov]. What a fleet card contributes is the paper trail — Fuel Express reporting tracks tax-exempt purchases and separates fuel types and purchase categories, which is the documentation exemption filings depend on. Your state’s rules and paperwork vary, so raise exemptions with your Fuel Express representative during setup and with your tax advisor.
How do seasonal operations manage fuel budgets?
Farm fuel spending is not flat — planting and harvest push volumes up, winter pulls them down. Because spending limits and purchase restrictions adjust from your online account at any time, you can raise per-card caps for harvest weeks and tighten them in the off-season instead of sizing rules for the peak and living with the slack. Transaction data lands in real time, so a season’s fuel picture builds as it happens, not at year-end.
Which farm vehicles belong on the card?
The road fleet: grain and livestock trucks, delivery vans, service pickups, anything fueling at retail stations along a route. Tractors, combines, and fixed equipment typically fuel from on-farm tanks or bulk delivery instead [Source: pfleet.com] — though any bulk purchases you do run through the card stay tracked in the same account. If your operation spans both, the mixed fleet setup keeps different vehicle classes under separate rules, and GPS tracking covers the vehicles that range farthest.
Frequently Asked Questions
The card provides the documentation side: reporting tracks tax-exempt purchases and separates purchase categories, which exemption filings depend on. Exemption eligibility and paperwork vary by state, so confirm specifics with your representative and tax advisor.
Road vehicles fuel on the card at retail stations, while tractors and fixed equipment typically use on-farm tanks or bulk delivery — but bulk purchases run through the card stay tracked in the same account, keeping the whole fuel picture in one place.
Spending limits and purchase restrictions adjust from your online account at any time, so you can raise caps for planting and harvest and tighten them off-season — rules sized to the week you are in, not the annual peak.
Any operation with vehicles on public roads: livestock and dairy haulers, produce and grain transport, timber and logging trucks, and farm service fleets. If it fuels at retail stations along a route, it belongs on the card.
