Manual vs Optimized

Manual Fuel Planning Picks a Stop
Ditat Optimizes the Fuel Decision

The goal is not just cheaper fuel - it is better trip-level decisions using route, fuel
levels, prices, provider discounts, and purchase controls

Manual Fuel Planning

Decisions Depend on Memory, Spreadsheets, and Driver Follow-Through

  • Dispatcher checks fuel prices manually
  • Stops depend on memory or habit
  • Fuel levels may be estimated
  • Fill amounts are inconsistent
  • Drivers may fuel outside preferred locations
  • Savings and compliance are reviewed later
Optimized Fuel Decisions

Fuel Planning Starts from the Active Load and Connects to Execution

  • Plan starts from the active load
  • Fuel levels and truck settings are included
  • Provider pricing and discounts are considered
  • Suggested gallons are calculated per stop
  • Fuel card controls can follow the plan
  • Planned vs actual results can be measured
How It Works

From Active Load to Optimized Fuel Plan

Ditat connects trip data, fuel inputs, pricing, and route rules to calculate a fuel plan
that can move into execution

01
Trip Context

Start with the Active Load

The fuel plan begins with the active trip, route, truck, and dispatch context instead of a separate manual spreadsheet

02
Fuel Profile

Read Operational Fuel Inputs

Live fuel level and truck position sync from connected ELD and telematics when available, along with MPG, tank capacity, emergency reserve, search radius, and truck settings

03
Optimization Logic

Apply Pricing and Route Rules

Provider prices, discounts, IFTA requirements, retail fallback, and route limits shape the optimization decision

04
Plan Output

Return a Usable Fuel Plan

Ditat recommends fuel stops and gallons that can support dispatch execution, fuel card controls, and reporting

05
Driver Handoff

Send the Plan to the Driver

The optimized plan can be sent to the driver's mobile app so recommended stops and gallons reach the cab before fueling

06
Measurement

Verify Compliance on the Dashboard

A fuel optimization dashboard widget shows how closely each truck followed the plan, comparing planned vs actual gallons, potential savings, MPG, and compliance by fuel stop

Integrated TMS Workflow

Not a Standalone Calculator

Fuel optimization stays connected to active loads, truck settings, provider pricing, fuel card controls, and reporting inside Ditat TMS

Control Layer

Fuel Card Controls That Follow the Optimized Plan

Fuel planning does not stop at recommendation. With connected fuel card providers,
approved locations can follow the optimized trip plan

Connected Fuel Card Ecosystem

Ditat works with supported fuel card providers to help connect optimized fuel plans with approved fueling locations and control workflows

Comdata
EFS
FleetOne
Multi Service Fuel Card
Pilot
QuikQ
RELAY
TCS Fuel
WEX

Provider support depends on setup and configuration

Approved Locations

Fueling can be limited to approved fuel stops when location controls are enabled

Optimized Stop Sync

Allowed fuel locations can update from the trip's optimized fuel stops

Exception Control

Off-network fueling and temporary overrides remain separate controlled actions

Measurement / ROI

Prove Savings with Planned vs Actual Fuel Data

Ditat helps transportation teams measure fuel performance by comparing optimized fuel plans against
actual purchases, MPG, potential savings, compliance, and suggested vs actual fuel stops

Plan vs Purchase

Optimized gallons and purchased gallons are compared by truck and trip to show whether actual fuel activity followed the plan

Savings and Efficiency

Potential savings, distance, purchases, and MPG help teams understand fuel performance across equipment

Compliance by Fuel Stop

Suggested fuel stops can be reviewed against actual fuel activity to identify matched stops and exceptions

FAQ

Fuel Optimization FAQs

Learn how Ditat fuel optimization connects trip data, fuel pricing, fuel card controls, and reporting inside the TMS

Fuel optimization software helps transportation teams plan where, when, and how much to fuel based on trip details, truck settings, fuel prices, discounts, and operational rules. In Ditat it works from the active load instead of a separate spreadsheet, so the plan reflects the real route, truck, and dispatch context.

A standalone calculator sits outside your operation and only returns a number. Ditat fuel optimization is built into the TMS, so it starts from the active load and stays connected to truck settings, provider pricing, fuel card controls, and planned vs actual reporting. The recommended stops and gallons can move directly into dispatch execution.

Yes. The optimization considers provider fuel price lists and negotiated discounts alongside retail fallback pricing, so the plan reflects the prices your fleet actually pays rather than generic pump prices. Ditat connects with major fuel-card providers to support this.

Yes. Ditat calculates suggested gallons per stop using the current fuel level, MPG, tank capacity, emergency reserve, and search radius, so drivers know not just where to stop but how much to buy at each location along the route.

With connected fuel card providers, approved fueling locations can follow the optimized trip plan, and allowed locations can update from the trip's optimized fuel stops. Off-network fueling and temporary overrides remain separate, controlled actions. Provider support depends on setup and configuration.

Yes. Ditat compares optimized gallons and purchased gallons by truck and trip, and reports potential savings, distance, purchases, and MPG. Suggested fuel stops can be reviewed against actual fuel activity to identify matched stops and exceptions.

Yes. IFTA requirements are one of the inputs that shape the optimization decision, and the mileage by jurisdiction and fuel purchases tracked through Ditat feed quarterly IFTA reporting, so fuel planning and fuel-tax reporting stay connected in one system.
