Works in Chat, Cowork and Code
Fuel cost monitoring and planning
Track diesel and gasoline prices at stations across your operating region. Identify the cheapest fueling corridors, plan fuel stops for long-haul routes, and monitor price trends to forecast fuel budget needs.
I-40 diesel corridor prices: Nashville, TN — $3.68/gal. Memphis, TN — $3.71/gal. Little Rock, AR — $3.55/gal (good stop). Fort Smith, AR — $3.49/gal (best in region). Oklahoma City, OK — $3.52/gal. Amarillo, TX — $3.61/gal. Albuquerque, NM — $3.78/gal. Recommended fueling strategy: fill up in Fort Smith or Oklahoma City to minimize cost over the route.
DOT and FMCSA compliance research
Access current FMCSA regulations for hours of service, vehicle inspection requirements, CDL medical certification, drug and alcohol testing, and hazmat transportation. Stay compliant without maintaining a library of regulatory reference materials.
FMCSA 49 CFR 396.17-21: Annual inspections required for all CMVs. Performed by: qualified inspector (must be a motor carrier inspector, AAMVA-certified mechanic, or state-certified inspector). Inspection must cover all items in Appendix G to Subchapter B. Record retention: 14 months from inspection date (either copy on vehicle or accessible to driver during roadside). Inspections from certified third parties must include inspector credentials.
Route weather monitoring
Check weather conditions along critical routes before dispatching drivers. Get alerts on winter storms, ice, high winds, and flooding that create safety risks and service delays.
I-90 WA forecast: Seattle (48 hrs clear, lows 38°F). Snoqualmie Pass (elevation 3,022 ft): Tonight — 4-8 inches snow, temps 28°F, winds 25 mph. WSDOT has chain requirements in effect. Tomorrow: additional 2-3 inches possible before clearing. Wednesday afternoon: improving. Recommendation: delay passage until Wednesday afternoon or confirm chain availability. WSDOT real-time pass status: check www.wsdot.wa.gov/travel.

EV and alternative fuel fleet research
Research electric vehicle fleet options, charging infrastructure, and incentive programs for fleet electrification. Find EV charging stations along routes and evaluate total cost of ownership for fleet transitions.
Three main programs: (1) IRA Section 45W Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit — up to $7,500 for vehicles under 14,000 GVWR, up to $40,000 for heavy vehicles. Transferable to dealers. (2) FHWA NEVI formula program — DC fast charging infrastructure grants, prioritizes corridors. (3) EPA Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicle program ($5B through 2031) — grants for class 6-8 zero-emission vehicles, prioritized for disadvantaged communities and school districts. Applications through your state.

Tools to power your best work
165+ tools.
One conversation.
Everything fleet managers need from AI, connected to the assistant you already use. No extra apps, no switching tabs.
Pre-dispatch route safety check
Before dispatching a driver on a long-haul route, check weather conditions, fuel pricing along the route, and any regulatory or road closure issues.
Compliance audit preparation
Prepare for a DOT compliance audit by reviewing current regulatory requirements and generating a documentation checklist.
Fleet electrification evaluation
Assess the feasibility of electrifying a portion of your fleet with route analysis, charging infrastructure review, and incentive research.
Frequently Asked Questions
How current is the fuel price data?
Fuel Prices provides real-time or near-real-time prices at stations across Australia, UK, Germany, France, Spain, and other covered markets. For US diesel specifically, the tool provides regional price data. For exact pump prices at specific truck stops, truckstop.com and GasBuddy provide station-level data.
Can these tools help with IFTA reporting?
Deep Research can explain IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) reporting requirements, filing deadlines, and how fuel purchases and miles driven in each jurisdiction are calculated. It can also help you understand the penalties for non-compliance and what records must be maintained.
Is there a tool for tracking fleet vehicle maintenance records?
The AI tools here support research, compliance, and documentation generation rather than serving as a fleet management database. The document tool can help you create maintenance schedules and record templates. For ongoing maintenance tracking, dedicated fleet management software (Samsara, Fleetio, Verizon Connect) would be the right system.
Can these tools help me find carriers and brokers for capacity?
Lead Finder can identify freight brokers and trucking companies by location and specialty. Deep Research can explain freight broker licensing requirements and how to verify a broker's authority on the FMCSA SAFER system.
How useful is the weather tool for proactive fleet safety management?
Very useful. You can get 14-day forecasts for specific corridors or driver locations. The tool flags severe weather watch and warning information. For a fleet operating across multiple regions, you can query multiple locations to proactively reroute drivers before conditions deteriorate.
