When nobody's watching, margins drift. A penny here, a penny there, until you're quietly paying thousands more a year than the fleet down the road. We look for you. If your deal is fair, you'll hear that from us and pay nothing. If it's not, you'll finally know what the last few years cost you.
Get your free margin checkTakes 60 seconds. No obligation, no supplier switch required.
Two answers is all it takes.
You don't change how you fuel. You don't have to leave your supplier. You just find out what you're really paying.
A few months of fuel invoices is all it takes. We line up every delivery against the published wholesale rack price for that exact day and calculate your supplier's real margin.
If the margin is fair, we tell you and shake hands. If it's not, we negotiate it down, with your current supplier or with competing quotes. Most fleets keep the same truck showing up, at a better number.
Margins creep back up when nobody's checking. We audit every invoice, every month, against the daily benchmark, and send you a one-page statement showing exactly what you saved.
When your fuel bill goes up, you assume the market moved. Sometimes it did. Sometimes your margin quietly grew, and there's no way to tell the difference without the daily benchmark. That's the gap we close.
We work with fleets across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and the Dakotas that burn 30,000 or more gallons a year, delivered to yard tanks, drawn at cardlock, or pumped at the truck stop.
Fixing the fuel margin is half the job. How you pay for fuel is the other half, and it leaks in ways nobody ever audits. We recapture all of it.
Trucks fueling at retail truck stops are usually paying the cash price when a properly set up cost-plus card would put them 20 to 45 cents a gallon under it, at the same pumps they already use.
Out-of-network charges, transaction fees, report fees, late fee traps. Fuel card statements are built so you won't look. We read every line and get the junk removed or the program replaced.
Per-gallon rebates are negotiable and most fleets never ask. Same with the cashback and points on the cards running the rest of your business. That's your money sitting on the table, and we go get it.
One thing we do differently: if a card program pays us a referral, you'll know about it, in writing, with the math shown both ways. We only recommend what puts the most money back in your pocket.
Check my fuel and my cardsNo retainers, no hourly bills, no software fees. We're paid a share of savings we can prove, measured against your own invoices and the published daily benchmark, from a baseline that's frozen in writing the day we start. If your supplier is treating you right, you'll get a clean bill of health and a handshake.
Start my free checkMidwest Fuel Group was started by Andrew Emberson, a Twin Cities business broker who has spent years valuing and selling fleet-heavy companies: excavators, trucking firms, bus contractors, landscapers.
Recasting those financials means reading fuel invoices line by line. And the same thing kept showing up: good operators, sharp on everything else, quietly overpaying on diesel because the wholesale benchmark is invisible to them.
This company exists to make that benchmark visible. We're not a fuel supplier and we don't take a nickel from one. We work for the fleet, we put every number on the table, and we disclose exactly how we're paid, always.
