Weekly fuel
Maintain the diesel-price input used when a load does not have a specific fuel override.
What this tab is for
Weekly fuel stores dated average diesel prices for operating estimates. CarrierOS uses the appropriate saved value or configured fallback when calculating modeled fuel cost.
How to use it
- 1
Enter the effective week or date and the average diesel price used by the company.
- 2
Save the record and verify that the current diesel metric reflects the intended value.
- 3
Use a load-specific fuel override only when the shipment should not use the weekly or fallback price.
- 4
Correct an inaccurate source value before relying on new quote or load estimates.
What to understand
- Modeled price
- The weekly record is an assumption, not a fuel-card transaction feed.
- Historical math
- A dated price helps explain the estimate used for a past load.
- Fallback
- Settings supplies the fallback value when no applicable weekly record exists.
Good operating habits
- Use one consistent, documented source for the company's weekly average.
- Keep fuel-card and receipt records in the accounting system used for actual expense reconciliation.
