Route aware fuel. $334 a month back per truck.
Most drivers fill where it is convenient. Argus fills where it is cheapest along the route you are already running. Three savings levers stacked: pump pricing, tank timing, and IFTA routing. The math runs every trip.
Fuel is the biggest line item, and the easiest one to leak.
Diesel prices can swing $0.50 to $1.00 a gallon between stops on the same corridor. Most drivers fill at whatever is nearest when the tank is low. Most nav apps do not know which states tax fuel highest. The result is real money walking out the door every quarter.
Based on 110,000 miles a year at 6.5 MPG.
Three levers stacked on every route.
Cheapest compliant pump on your route.
Live diesel prices at every truck stop along the route you are already running. Argus picks the stop that wins after the detour math, not just the cheapest sign you might pass. Saves about $199 a month.
Fill at the price, not at the panic.
Argus watches your tank level and the prices ahead. When a cheaper stop is reachable before empty, you get the alert. No more panic fills at whatever pump is nearest the off ramp. Saves about $85 a month.
Shift miles into lower tax states.
Every state taxes diesel differently. Argus identifies opportunities to shift taxable miles into lower rate jurisdictions, calculates net savings after the extra miles, and only suggests the change when it pays. Saves about $50 a month.
All three on every route, no thinking required.
You drive. Argus runs the math. The savings show up at the pump and on your quarterly IFTA filing. Average driver: $334 a month per truck, $4,008 a year, 40X return on the annual subscription.
Per trip savings on common corridors.
Runs on the cards your trucks already use.
Connect a fuel card and every transaction flows in automatically. No card? The in app receipt OCR captures the same data from a phone photo.
$4.99/mo. The first fill pays for it.
Or $49.99 a year (save ~17%). A single optimized fill on a long run covers the year. Cancel anytime.
Questions drivers actually ask about fuel.
How does Argus save money on fuel?+
Three levers running together on every route. Strategic pump pricing scans diesel prices at every truck stop along your route and recommends the cheapest compliant stop you would already pass. Tank level timing watches your remaining fuel and tells you to fill at the next great price instead of waiting until empty at whichever stop is closest. IFTA route optimization shifts taxable miles into lower tax states when the detour math wins. Together they average $334 per month per truck.
How much can a typical driver save?+
A typical OTR driver running 110,000 miles a year at 6.5 MPG saves about $334 a month, or $4,008 a year, on fuel. Conservative routes save closer to $150 a month. High mileage cross country runs can save $500 a month or more. The savings show up because most drivers fill where it is convenient, not where it is cheap.
Where does the fuel price data come from?+
Argus pulls live diesel prices from a real time pricing feed covering all major truck stop chains: Pilot, Loves, Flying J, TA, Petro, Roadys, AmBest, plus thousands of independents. Prices update continuously, not on the daily averages most apps show.
Does it work with my fuel card?+
Yes. WEX, Comdata, EFS, T-Chek, Pilot myRewards, and Loves are live. Argus pulls every transaction and matches gallons to the state where the pump sat, which feeds straight into IFTA reporting. If you do not run a fuel card, the in app receipt OCR captures the same data from a phone photo.
What is tank level timing?+
Most drivers fill when the tank is low, meaning whatever stop is nearby gets the sale even if a cheaper stop is 30 miles ahead. Argus monitors your tank, looks at upcoming prices along your route, and tells you to fill at the better price before you hit empty. Saves about $85 a month on average.
How does IFTA route optimization work?+
Every state has a different diesel tax rate. Argus identifies opportunities where a small route change shifts taxable miles from a high tax state to a lower tax state, with the net IFTA savings calculated after any added mileage. It only suggests the change if it actually saves money. Most drivers never see this because their nav app does not know what IFTA is.
Does this also handle my IFTA filing?+
The same fuel data and mileage feed powers IFTA reporting and optimization inside Argus. Filing is a separate service: $127 per quarter for 1 to 3 trucks, $47 per truck per month for 4 or more. See the /ifta page for the full breakdown.
How does the math work on a 2,000 mile run?+
On a Chicago to LA run (2,015 miles, about 310 gallons at 6.5 MPG), the savings split roughly into $30 from picking the right pumps along I-80 corridors, $10 to $15 from tank timing avoiding panic fills, and $5 to $10 from any IFTA jurisdiction optimization that fits. Call it $47 to $93 per trip. Run that route twice a month and Argus has paid for the year.
