The basic answer is that fuel management systems are just that; devices, programs, and/or systems used for control and monitor fuel usage and other related accountability issues. It can be used on your truck’s tank or on the tank being hauled.

In a basic nutshell, fuel management systems measure the amount of fuel put into the tank and how long it lasts and can also monitor cost, consumption, and other data.

Most commonly associated with airplanes, we have all see the movie where the pilot reads the gauge, estimates the burning rate, and how much long the engines will run.

Well, it works similarly for your truck, only it also tells the dispatcher (or other authority) how much was put in the tank, the cost, and how fast it was used.

There are numerous systems, some common ones are:

• Card based, the fuel credit card used is used with a driver’s assigned pin (usually assigned either the driver or the vehicle).
• Onsite fueling systems, fleet trucks are fueled in their lot and the appropriate information is recorded.
• Onsite fuel delivery, the fuel is brought to the jobsite and the vehicles are recorded / monitored on the spot.

In my attempt to create the ‘ultimate’ heavy duty truck guide I know there will be points, ideas, and information left out. Unfortunately trying to cover everything about a heavy duty truck can be hard. Not that there is not enough information, but deciding what to include and what to skim over, is the real issue.

Some might read this and think it is a good overview, others might say what about this or that. As usual I will welcome all suggestions and points in the comments box beneath the article. For others perhaps this will be more a starting point in your quest to learn more about what is considered to be a heavy duty truck.

I will say for this guide of mine that it isn’t a 4×4 GMC with a lift kit and spray on ‘mud’!!! It is geared towards commercial trucks.

If you want to learn more from an official point of view you have several options:

• Visit the site of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA);
• Read The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) article, regarding the heavy duty trucks;
• Read the FMCSA’s safety compliance and enforcement program (CSA);
• You can visit your state’s transportation department or other relevant regulatory agency for your state or the state where operating in;
• Visit on-line forums, groups, and other social media sites for heavy duty trucks and truck drivers, or any kind of site for truckers will give you a valid information on the topic, in matter of fact;
• Read one of the on-line or hard copy truckers’ magazines, or join one of the many trucking associations like example the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, (OOIDA).

Of course, there are other options. But what I have put together is a guide, and I hope it does help you for finding the information you are seeking.

Commercial Truck Classification

Ok, I guess, before I go into details about what is a heavy duty truck, or the types or their uses and all that other fun stuff, I shall first explain the classifications. I am sure many will be like, “I already know this”! Well, if you do know, then this might be a refresher for you, if you don’t, I hope it adds to your understanding.
