Fuel Card

Wakubwa, as you all know sipendi kuficha hustle zangu za kila siku just in case Kuna mtu atasaidika hapa. Juzi nimepiga hesabu ya fleet ya sales van nikaona Kuna vile majamaa wananiosha pesa ya mafuta. Ile design ya attendant anaweka 4K na anandika reciept ya 6K ukule mia mbili. The receipts are usually electronically printed and at first sikua na doubt nazo but saa hii figures zimechange sana.
Leo nimetembea pale Total petrol station wakanipea forms za fuel card. I need one card that can fuel a fleet on 8 vehicles.
Sasa nataka maoni kuhusu hii kitu before I submit the forms. Anyone with experience on the possible misfortunes, challenges,stress za hii kitu anipe. Save a brother. Watu ni kujengana.

That will not save u my brother. The guy will use the fuel card, and asks the attendant to deduct more than the fuel value. The difference atampea dereva less his agreed ‘cut.’

Wacha dere wanukishe kitunguu pia

1 card 8 vehicles, ngata ikiisha unatuma mtu wa nduthi to where the vehicle is ama?

Hii ni cash cow ya drivers na petrol station attendants. Kwanza ukipata fleet ya kampuni utanukisha kitunguu walai kama 10K per day.

hehe watakamua gari sasa.

Si hizi fleet management softwares hua zina monitor mafuta pia?

hio labda ununue pump yako na tank ya mafuta. :D:D

There is little you can do kama employees wameamua kuwa wezi. Construction sites huwa na their own diesel pump, na madere hushinda wakiweka ma lorry free ndio fuel gauge isonge jioni wapate kukamua

The only easy way out is workout the consumption of fuel to the KM. say an FH will do 3.6 to the liter . this is a calculation you have to workout every time they back and after fueling to full tank to know the consumed fuel. it is tedious but it works.
There is a friend of mine akipata ya msee inakuja 2.9 huko anajua ameibiwa na anachuja dere on the sport.

Motivate by giving them Responsibility allowance.

Then they sell in mitungis

Know your fleet well and always record trips and km everytime you fuel. Secondly gradually reduce the fuel i.e kama if you used to fuel Nairobi Eldoret 5000ksh punguza na mia tatu. After a few months punguza ingine if all dont complain.
Lastly it pays to stick to one type and make of car/truck. Kama wewe ni mtu ya Actros, usitake scania, volvo etc karibu na wewe. Drivers take advantage wanaanza kudemand more fuel coz haujui consumption.

A fuel card wont solve your problem, you need both a fuel card and a fuel monitoring system, thats the only way to ensure what the receipts say was dispensed actually went into the tank since you get real-time alerts on fuel-top ups and fuel-syphons, and you are also able to track the minute by minute fuel levels in the fuel tank in real-time.

you will get the fuel card but that wont prevent the drivers from telling the attendant to fuel 4k and write a 6k receipt, all the attendant needs is to be given a small incentive of 300bob. but if you add the fuel monitoring system you will be sure what the receipt says, actually went into the fuel tank. infact if you get a fuel monitoring system, you wont even need the fuel cards (i guess you still need them to track pit stops)

Inbox incase you need contacts (as a trucker, i know how it feels to lose fuel to syphons and fuel that never went into the tank)

They will collude with the pump attendants.

it is very hard to regulate this, where I used to work budget ya mafuta ilikuwa inamalizwa within half the financial year. what you can do is make them account for the fuel spent

The tech solution if to install a sensor in the tank to note sudden decrease in fuel. then make them use a card or any other cashless arrangement. fuel consumption graph and then fire the culprit. dont tell them you are watching the tank or you wont get the thief. Or you use a lid sensor of ebay or some other place

You can’t end this but atleast u can futa watu kazi

nunua Tesla Truck

Niko na beshte anakamuanga magari mafuta. On a bad day, he makes 20k profit:eek::eek:…you can’t end that problem, but you can have approximate figure if you know the rate of fuel consumption and odometer readings. This is a multimillion business and cartels will fight you back.
