The Fuel Agent is an AI-powered fuel stop planner built for Class 7-8 truck drivers across the United States and Canada. Instead of just showing you "nearby" diesel prices, The Fuel Agent looks at your actual route from origin to destination — and finds the cheapest stops along the way. The optimizer factors in: • Real-time pump prices at 1,700+ truck stops • State-by-state IFTA fuel tax credits • Your fuel card discount per chain (Pilot Flying J, Love's, TA / Petro, Sapp Bros) • Your tank size, current fuel level, and end-trip reserve • Detour time per stop In seconds, you get a multi-stop plan with exact gallons to buy at each station and the net cost after IFTA credit. One tap opens the route in Trucker Path for turn-by-turn navigation. WHY DRIVERS CHOOSE THE FUEL AGENT • Save $200–500/week on a 12,000 mile/month route • See actual cost after card discount + IFTA, not just pump price • Compare 1-stop vs 2-stop vs 5-stop plans side by side • Filter by your preferred chains • Works across all 50 US states and Canada FOR OWNER-OPERATORS AND FLEETS The Fuel Agent is free for owner-operators. Fleet features (multi-driver management, fleet-wide discount cards, reporting) are coming soon. WHO BUILT THIS Built by truck drivers and former dispatchers who got tired of paying full pump price. Every plan is based on the same math an experienced driver uses to choose between stations — only it runs in seconds instead of minutes.
