BeyondTrucks enhances carrier efficiency with Breakthrough fuel recovery integration for accurate invoicing

BeyondTrucks partners with Breakthrough to enhance carrier efficiency through fuel recovery integration

April 3, 2025
An integration between BeyondTrucks and Breakthrough, allows BeyondTrucks' customers to obtain the fuel amount calculated by Breakthrough’s Fuel Recovery solution for invoicing purposes with their mutual shipper clients.

BeyondTrucks recently integrated with Breakthrough, a provider of sustainable fuel and freight solutions for shippers. Through the new integration, BeyondTrucks fleet customers now benefit from an integration between BeyondTrucks and Breakthrough, allowing them to obtain the fuel amount calculated by Breakthrough’s Fuel Recovery solution for invoicing purposes with their mutual shipper clients.

“Traditional fuel surcharge calculations that rely on national or regional average fuel prices often result in significant discrepancies between actual carrier fuel costs and benchmark rates, leading to inaccurate load acceptance decisions and potential over and underpayment by shippers,” Hans Galland, CEO of BeyondTrucks, said. “Breakthrough’s Fuel Recovery solution provides market-based fuel reimbursement calculations based on exact prices, timing, taxes, and geography of freight movements. This integration allows BeyondTrucks fleet customers to simplify compliance with a shipper’s fuel pricing requirements, making fleets more attractive partners.”

This integration eliminates the need for carriers to perform manual lookups when handling transactions with shippers. Using Fuel Recovery ensures BeyondTrucks customers who partner with Breakthrough shippers can reduce invoicing errors and speed up payment cycles by streamlining the management of fuel costs.

Modern Transportation, a chemical, liquid, and dry bulk carrier, initially applied fuel calculations generated by Breakthrough Fuel Recovery manually for about 50 shipments per month. The 330-truck BeyondTrucks customer is now using the new integration on hundreds of transactions each day.

“With one of our largest shipper customers using Breakthrough Fuel Recovery, manually incorporating fuel amounts in shipments on a large scale was simply not sustainable,” Dan Benacquista, VP of strategic operations and planning at Modern Transportation, said. “With the BeyondTrucks integration, we’re saving hours per week, and we’re producing error-free invoices. Our customers benefit at the same time from more timely invoicing, and ultimately our cost savings.”

This integration follows BeyondTrucks unveiling a new fuel card management feature for its system during the Truckload Carriers Association convention earlier this month. 

The smart fuel card management eliminates manual card management while reducing unauthorized fuel purchase risks, Galland said during a press conference at the Phoenix Convention Center. Other features include:

  • Automatically activate a driver fuel card subject to pre-defined triggers, such as when they're hauling a load, and deactivate them when they're not on assignment
  • Instantly generate and send money codes to make money available to drivers directly through BeyondTrucks
  • Track advances and include them in driver settlement calculations
  • Update fuel consumption data for each driver, as customary in traditional systems for owner-operator drivers or IFTA calculations
