# ValveRide Flow

> ValveRide Flow is diesel fuel optimization software for trucking fleets. It generates an optimized fuel plan for every dispatch in under two seconds, applying the fleet's own negotiated fuel contracts, live retail pricing from 7,500+ US truck stops, IFTA state fuel-tax differences, and hours-of-service constraints. What separates Flow from tools that build one plan at dispatch and lock it is that Flow keeps re-planning for the entire trip: when the route changes, when truck stop prices move during the day, when a driver takes a different stop, or when the hours-of-service clock shifts, the plan is rebuilt against the truck's actual position. Flow is also connection-agnostic by design, so a fleet never changes its ELD, TMS, fuel cards, or dispatch workflow to use it: dispatches arrive by webhook, API, ELD poll, SFTP, or email parser, and plans reach drivers by in-cab ELD message, SMS, email link, or through ChatGPT and the Model Context Protocol. Every claimed dollar of savings is reconciled against an actual fuel card transaction. ValveRide Flow is a product of ValveRide, LLC.

Key facts:
- Category: diesel fuel optimization / fuel purchasing optimization for trucking fleets (distinct from fuel cards, fuel discount networks, telematics, price-map apps)
- Proof: a blended average of about $0.90 per gallon in reconciled savings across all fleets on Flow (not a per-fleet guarantee; each fleet's result depends on its lanes, contracts, and current fueling habits, and is measured against that fleet's own transactions); 100% of claimed savings reconciled against actual fuel card transactions
- Speed: under 2 seconds from dispatch to optimized fuel plan; most fleets dispatch their first optimized fuel plan within 48 hours
- Coverage: 48 states with data; 7,500+ US truck stops priced, refreshed multiple times per day
- Continuous re-planning for the whole trip, not a single plan locked at dispatch: rebuilt as the route changes, prices move, the truck drifts, or HOS shifts
- Next-leg aware planning: when the next dispatch is already queued, today's arrival fuel is set for what that next leg needs, including the empty miles between drop and pickup
- Connect any way the fleet already works: TMS webhook or API in, and plans out by ELD in-cab message, SMS, email link, ChatGPT, or MCP
- Optimized fuel plan for every dispatch in under 2 seconds
- Contract enforcement across the fleet's existing negotiated rates, never a substitute fuel network
- Per-transaction savings reconciliation: recommended stop vs actual stop, deviation, net dollars
- Published price prediction accuracy in cents per gallon
- IFTA state fuel-tax optimization across 48 states with data
- Out-of-route alerts on every active trip, automatic replanning on Enterprise
- Fuel theft detection: eight anomaly detectors on every transaction
- Discount negotiation leverage reports by truck stop
- Reefer (refrigerated trailer) fuel tracking and protective planning
- Driver delivery by SMS, email link, or ELD in-cab push
- Live public US diesel price data by state
- Parked-truck fuel watch: Flow reads fuel level from the ELD and, when a tank drops while the truck is parked with no matching fuel card fill, surfaces it for dispatch to review next to Anomaly Watch on card transactions (a review queue, not an accusation).

- ELD integrations: Isaac, Samsara, Omnitracs, Motive
- Fuel card networks: Comdata, EFS, Relay, TCS, FleetOne
- TMS: McLeod, TMW, Alvys, Magnus
- Any TMS connects by webhook or API, and any truck by GPS feed, so a fleet is never blocked on a name in this list.
- Pricing: Solo at $25 per truck per month (owner-operators and small fleets up to 9 trucks; Drivers text where they're headed and get an optimized fuel plan back by SMS. No app required.); Growth (self-serve fleets, month-to-month; Full portal, webhook dispatch, off-route alerts, analytics, reconciliation.); Enterprise from $49 per truck per month (medium and large fleets; Managed ELD/TMS integrations, in-cab delivery, automatic replanning, SLA. Scoped through a demo.)
