Datatruck sets new cost visibility standard with 16 fuel integrations

TMS provider Datatruck’s fuel integration network for carriers and brokers now spans 16 partnerships that connect trucking companies with the critical cost data that drives their operations.

Native integrations with Pilot, EFS, ComData, Relay Payments, and Motive sit alongside a dozen additional fuel card, factoring, toll, payment, and telematics providers, giving carriers a unified view of fuel spend, payment flows, and vehicle data inside a single platform, Datatruck reported.

“The number and quality of integrations a TMS carries is the single most accurate proxy for how complete the system actually is,” Bek Ergashev, Datatruck chief AI officer and co-founder, said in a news release. “It’s not the interface. It’s not the reporting module. It’s not even the AI capabilities built on top of it. Integrations determine what the system can see, and what the system can see determines every decision a carrier makes after that.”

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration data shows that 95.5% of U.S. motor carriers operate 10 trucks or fewer, meaning the overwhelming majority of the industry runs without a dedicated data team or a CFO on staff, Datatruck asserted. For those carriers, the transportation management system (TMS) is their financial visibility, and a platform that cannot see fuel spend, payment status, and vehicle performance in one place leaves money on the table every week.

Datatruck’s fuel integration depth, part of a network that now spans more than 150 active partners, reinforces the company’s position as one of the most deeply integrated TMS platforms on the market. While many systems in the category advertise long feature lists, few can match the breadth of live connections required to capture a carrier’s complete cost picture. Fuel and factoring data, in particular, represent two of the largest controllable line items in the operating budget of every trucking company, and the ability to pull that data automatically, in real time, is what separates a reporting tool from an operational command center.

For carriers, the practical impact is measurable. A fleet running disconnected tools must stitch together fuel card statements, factoring records, toll records, and telematics reports by hand, and by the time the reconciled numbers arrive, the decisions that depend on them are already overdue. Datatruck’s native integrations eliminate that lag. Fuel purchases from EFS and ComData flow directly into the platform. Payment and fuel data from Relay Payments posts automatically against loads. Vehicle telematics from Motive feeds real-time location and performance data into dispatch and customer updates without manual check calls.

The result is a single, reconciled view of every cost moving through the business, the company concluded.

“Fuel and factoring are the two largest cost drivers in any carrier's budget,” Ergashev said. “If a TMS can’t see them in real time, it isn’t a command center. It’s a silo with a nice dashboard. Our fuel integrations are what turn the platform into a complete operational picture rather than a partial one.”
