Fuel advance
Money advanced to a carrier or driver for fuel purchases, usually tied to a load, factoring arrangement or dispatch workflow.
Why It Matters
Fuel advance affects cash flow, payment timing and who is responsible for repayment or account funding.
What to Check
- Ask how fuel advance is funded, repaid or deducted from settlement.
- Confirm fees, cutoff times, declined-payment rules and weekend availability.
- Separate payment access from fuel savings; they are not the same claim.
