Managing a fleet of vehicles is one of the most logistically challenging aspects of running a business. Whether you operate a service company, delivery operation, or regional sales team, ensuring your vehicles are fueled efficiently and cost-effectively is critical to keeping your business running smoothly—and profitably. That’s where H&S Energy’s cardlock solutions come into play. Through its access to the CFN (Commercial Fueling Network) and Pacific Pride fueling networks, H&S Energy offers a secure, customizable, and highly efficient way to control fuel spending, reduce administrative overhead, and gain insight into fleet performance. If you want to streamline your fleet operations and control fuel expenses, it’s time to achieve efficiency with cardlock solutions from H&S Energy.
What Is a Cardlock System?
A cardlock system is a secure, automated fueling solution designed for commercial fleets. Rather than relying on standard consumer gas stations or managing in-house fuel tanks, cardlock programs enable businesses to assign fuel cards to drivers or vehicles. These cards grant access to a vast network of commercial fueling sites like those in the CFN and Pacific Pride systems—networks that serve business needs around the clock.
Unlike credit cards or cash reimbursement models, cardlock cards are fully customizable with controls on where, when, and how much fuel can be purchased, offering unparalleled control and tracking.
Expand Access and Flexibility with CFN and Pacific Pride
H&S Energy’s cardlock solutions plug directly into two of the country’s most trusted and widespread commercial fueling networks: CFN and Pacific Pride.
- CFN (Commercial Fueling Network): With over 57,000 locations across North America, CFN provides access to fuel stations specifically designed for fleet fueling. Locations are engineered for ease-of-use by large vehicles, including truck-friendly layouts, high-flow diesel pumps, and 24/7 access.
- Pacific Pride: Renowned for reliability and ease of access, Pacific Pride offers a similar network of secure fueling sites. This network is ideal for businesses that need fueling options beyond typical retail stations and value commercial-grade facilities.
By integrating with both networks, H&S Energy ensures your fleet has fuel availability virtually everywhere your business goes. Whether operating within a local metro area or managing long-haul routes across states, your drivers will have uninterrupted fueling access—no detours, no delays.
Achieve Efficiency with Cardlock: Key Business Benefits
Here’s why more companies are switching to cardlock programs and how your business can benefit:
1. Increased Operational Efficiency
Your fleet stays on schedule when your drivers know exactly where they can refuel and don’t have to worry about finding the right gas station or navigating tight fueling lanes. Cardlock sites are built for commercial use, so trucks and vans can fuel quickly and get back on the road. Time saved per fueling stop adds up quickly across your entire fleet.
2. 24/7 Secure Fueling Access
One of the standout benefits of the CFN and Pacific Pride networks is 24-hour access. No more relying on business-hour gas stations or dealing with long lines. Your drivers can fuel when needed—even on weekends and holidays—ensuring uninterrupted operation. These commercial fueling locations also offer better lighting, video surveillance, and less congestion than public gas stations, improving driver safety and experience.
3. Fuel Expense Control and Monitoring
Each cardlock card can be assigned specific permissions, including:
- Time of day restrictions
- Daily, weekly, or monthly fuel limits
- Product type restrictions (e.g., diesel only)
- Location-based permissions
You can track exactly who purchased fuel, when, and for how much. This accountability eliminates unauthorized purchases, prevents fraud, and ensures that company fuel is used solely for business purposes.
4. Simplified Accounting and Billing
With H&S Energy’s cardlock solution, you’ll receive detailed invoices that break down fuel usage by driver, vehicle, or department. Say goodbye to stacks of receipts and tedious reimbursement processes. Your accounting team will appreciate the clear, consolidated billing and simplified expense tracking that comes with cardlock use.
H&S Energy even provides tax-ready reporting, easing the burden during audits or year-end accounting.
5. Fuel Tax Exemptions and Rebates
Commercial cardlock programs can also unlock fuel tax advantages for qualified users. If your business uses off-road fuel, H&S Energy can help you manage applicable exemptions and ensure you’re capturing every possible rebate. These savings directly improve your bottom line—without adding more to your workload.
6. Customized Reporting for Smarter Decisions
With access to comprehensive usage reports, you can analyze patterns across your fleet. Are certain vehicles using more fuel than expected? Are drivers fueling outside approved hours or regions? By identifying inefficiencies or irregularities early, you can take corrective action and optimize your fleet’s overall performance.
Data from the H&S Energy cardlock system can also help with preventive maintenance scheduling by identifying mileage patterns or unusual fuel consumption.
