As fuel pricing mechanisms become more complicated, technology is playing a bigger than ever role of in helping to manage the traditional process of fuel buying. Now, technology for “Best Buy” systems and accounting management are becoming more and more widely used. But, there are key differences in what the technology can do. If you consume millions of gallons / year in fuel, and have a small group of people doing the buying, you cannot miss this session.

Remote tank monitoring adoption is growing globally by 37% per year. And while the distributor has generally been the purchaser of the monitors for their own delivery efficiency, bulk fuel buyers now realize that monitoring their own inventory provides a host of benefits not realized otherwise. In this session, we will discuss the technology surrounding remote tank monitoring, and how it can help bulk fuel buyers: receive fewer deliveries with more gallons per delivery; maintain accurate inventories; manage delivery costs; ensure safety; centralize purchasing….and more! This is a do not miss for the fuel buyer who needs to eliminate hidden costs from delivery to consumption. SkyBitz Vice President of Sales, Ken Moore, is joined by FreightWaves Executive Publisher in this fireside chat.Follow FreightWaves on Apple PodcastsFollow FreightWaves on SpotifyMore FreightWaves Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

There is probably no single issue in today’s fuel markets that perplexes and challenges fuel buyers and sellers more than Carbon reduction initiatives – also known as LCFS (low carbon fuel standard). Not only does this affect refiners and fuel distributors, but it also has a big impact on the price at the rack, and at the retail level. Both rack and retail prices have a huge effect on carrier’s fuel prices. To break down and explain clearly how all these regulations work, we’ve brought on Megan Boutwell, COO of Stillwater Associates, one of the most respected experts in the field of LCFS and emissions reductions. Megan knows the huge impact of this, and has the ability to break it down and explain it clearly and simply. She is joined by Director of FreightWaves Academy Scott Berhang.Follow FreightWaves on Apple PodcastsFollow FreightWaves on SpotifyMore FreightWaves Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

We’ll delve deep into Stephen’s knowledge to get a good understanding of the international “drivers” that will impact domestic fuel prices.

The last year was incredibly tumultuous for U.S. fuel prices. First the pandemic quashed demand, and then just as we began to emerge from the tumult, there were a slew of refinery problems affecting output and the short term closure of the Colonial Pipeline, which threw markets into even more chaos. As we head into the critical diesel fuel season, everyone is asking what can we expect from domestic supply, and price. To discuss this we are presenting Patrick DeHaan, Head of Petroleum Analysis for GasBuddy. Patrick has had a huge media presence talking to all the major networks about fuel pricing. We’ll get his opinion on what to look for in the near future. He speaks with Director of FreightWaves Academy Scott Berhang.Follow FreightWaves on Apple PodcastsFollow FreightWaves on SpotifyMore FreightWaves Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.
