Who is stealing the fuel? That is more than 35K worth of question.
- The fuel is stolen from inside company factors which are the truck drivers
- And outside factors like Thieves
How they are stealing? They have creative ways to harm your profit. Let’s say the company truck drivers.
- Have fuel card to pay the fuel that they purchased at a gas station
- They made close connections with the workers on the gas station
- Instead for pouring 100 gallons that they paid with the fuel card bill they will pour 50 gallons and they will split the money with the worker on the gas station
- They will put the fuel in a can without even opening the fuel cap of the tank and sell the fuel to another person for lower price, but they will put the money in their pocket
- They will park close to other truck and pour the fuel in theirs fuel tank but pay with company fuel card
- The worst of all, the truck drivers will just the swipe the fuel card and pour not one sip of fuel but will take money in return
