Fleet Gas Cards for the Construction Industry
A construction fleet fuel card from Fuel Express keeps fuel spending tied to the job: cards work at virtually any station near any site, every purchase — including bulk fuel — logs its date, time, and location to your account, and driver and vehicle ID codes let you split fuel costs by crew or project. No startup, annual, or hidden fees.
A construction fuel card is a fleet payment card built for work that moves — changing job sites, mixed vehicles and equipment, and fuel costs that must land on the right job. The controls matter more in construction than almost anywhere else because the spending is so decentralized.
We know there’s a lot that goes on in the construction industry. From job locations to vehicles to equipment and more, it’s always busy. That’s why at Fuel Express, we offer a construction fuel card ideal for your business. We can help you streamline your operation and take control of your bottom line.
Purchases, Simplified
Your construction vehicles may be headed to a different job site every day and to get there, they’ll need a place to fuel up. With our fleet fuel cards, your drivers will be able to make purchases at virtually any gas station. And with our online account access, you’ll be able to track each purchase – even fuel bought in bulk.
You’ll see the date, time, and location of each transaction so you know the details of all purchases. You can even set limits that let you cap off your drivers’ spending amounts and control what items they purchase with the fleet fuel card. This way, you can fine-tune your budget and make the most profit from every job you complete. Best of all, there are no receipts for you or your drivers to worry about. Every construction fuel card has its own online account with transaction reports, driver reports, vehicle reports, billing options, and more.
Tracking at Any Time with a Construction Fuel Card
Construction isn’t just a 9-to-5 job; you may not always know where your fleet vehicles are. With our GPS tracking software, we can give you the tools you need. You can track every van or truck and make sure they’re on time and in the right place. You’ll also be able to track each vehicle’s MPG, which can alert you to any potential mechanical problems. In addition, we’ll give you access to a variety of reports and alerts that you can customize to better track your drivers’ progress.
Make things easier for both you and your employees when you get a fleet fuel card from Fuel Express.
How do construction fleets allocate fuel costs by job?
With ID codes. Fuel Express pump prompts can require a driver ID, vehicle ID, or route/job identifier before fuel flows, and every transaction carries those codes into your reports. That turns a month of mixed fueling into per-crew and per-project fuel costs you can bill or budget against — the job-cost allocation that construction fuel guides consistently rank as the deciding feature for contractors [Source: cnba.us]. Pair it with activity tracking and each job’s true transit cost stops being a guess.
How do you stop fuel theft on job sites?
Layer the controls. Pump security prompts stop a lost or borrowed card from fueling without the right codes; spending caps and fuel-only restrictions stop padding; exception alerts flag purchases outside your rules — the wrong time, the wrong amount, the wrong place — as they happen. Regional blocking keeps cards working only where your crews operate. For the vehicles themselves, GPS tracking adds location history that makes off-route fueling obvious.
What about heavy equipment and specialty fuels?
Track what you buy through the same account: bulk fuel purchases log like any other transaction, so jobsite fuel for equipment stays visible alongside on-road fueling. Industry practice for off-road equipment often involves dyed (tax-exempt off-road) diesel or bulk delivery arrangements [Source: pfleet.com] — if your operation uses them, ask your Fuel Express representative how your account should be configured so the reporting stays clean.

Combine pump security prompts, fuel-only purchase restrictions, spending caps, and exception alerts that flag out-of-policy purchases in real time. Regional blocking adds a final layer by keeping cards usable only where your crews actually work.
Yes. Every card carries its own spending limit and purchase restrictions, and cards can be assigned per driver or per vehicle — so a site supervisor's card can carry different rules than a laborer crew truck's card.
