What is True Fuel?
True Fuel helps both drivers and carriers improve on fuel efficiency. In the Pulse App, drivers can opt-in to this free service and begin collecting information on their driving behaviors. Drivers can manage which carriers they want to share their driving behavior information with, based on who they are working for. Then, carriers can use this information to help coach drivers to be more fuel efficient.
Why should I enable True Fuel? All about the True Fuel Weekly Scorecard
Using True Fuel will provide you with a weekly scorecard right in the Pulse app. The True Fuel Weekly Scorecard will point out where your fuel waste is coming from and offer trainings to help you improve, along with other helpful metrics, rankings, and sweepstakes offerings. Read about about it here:
First off - Learning the ways you may be performing lower in terms of fuel efficiency, gives you the opportunity to improve. Fuel efficiency is better for everyone so let's do it! In Driver Pulse you will see your own weekly scorecard showing your True Fuel Score (a score that is calculated based on your driving behaviors), where you rank among your company (if you are currently sharing your data with your company), as well as your average speed, and total miles tracked within the last week. You will also see the Top 5 Drivers in your company at the top, so that you can see who has been driving the most fuel efficiently over the last week.
Right underneath, you'll see your Fuel Waste that has been tracked over the last few weeks broken out section by section, to show you where your main sources of fuel loss came from. This is broken down into 4 categories - Acceleration, Speeding, Speed Consistency (Maintaining speed/using Cruise Control once up to speed), and Idle time.
As you scroll through the scorecard, you will see Tenstreet's True Fuel Training, which are courses that you can take that will help to coach and teach you the best efficient practices in the market, and help you raise your True Fuel Score.
As you scroll further, you will see the Sweepstakes section, where you can earn points in your Pulse Wallet! When drivers enable True Fuel in the Driver Pulse App they can earn entries into a Tenstreet-sponsored Sweepstakes. Pulse rewards can then be redeemed for gift cards in Pulse Wallet.
Here's the breakdown of how turning on True Fuel can get you entries into the sweepstakes:
If you are hired at a company who is using True Fuel, you may be eligible for their sweepstakes too!
Under the sweepstakes, you will see clickable text that says "View All Trip History".
When you select this, this will bring up your individual trips that were tracked:
You can then select into each individual trip to get further details about how you preformed during that specific trip.
How do I enable True Fuel?
You can enable True Fuel right in the Driver Pulse App! On your home page click on the True Fuel Icon to enable. When prompted, for the best True Fuel experience, choose the following setting options:

How do I manage which carriers can see my True Fuel trip data?
In the Driver Pulse app, you can select "Menu" in the bottom right of your screen, then select "Settings" to go to your Settings Page in Pulse.
Once here, you can scroll down to True Fuel Allowed Companies to show all companies your True Fuel information is being shared with, and adjust if needed by turning the toggle to "Off."
