Weekly Fuel Deductions Instructions
Introduction
This article provides detailed instructions for processing and reconciling weekly fuel deductions. Follow each step carefully to ensure accuracy in LoadMaster and EFS data.
Procedure
- Posting: Ensure that all weekly fuel deductions are posted by Tuesday each week.
- Reconciliation: Complete the reconciliation process for the posted fuel deductions by the same deadline, Tuesday.
- After confirming all fuel transactions from Monday through Sunday have been posted, go to Cemex Transport Fuel - Home. Create two new tabs and name them by week-ending date, such as 102024-EFS and 102024-LME.
- In LoadMaster, run and save a PDF report of the posted fuel deductions. Address any errors that may prevent posting.
- Go to the Gallons tab, and enter daily gallon amounts for each day. Retrieve this information from LoadMaster’s fuel transaction history.
- Run two reports for reconciliation and confirmation that LoadMaster data matches EFS data. This ensures accurate payment for both Pilot and EFS transactions.
- Access the EFS report under Home → Select Program → Reports/Exports → Enhanced Transaction Report → Saved Reports → Report #44136_Fuel Transactions Weekly Report and paste it into the EFS tab.
- Run the second report from LoadMaster by selecting Fuel → History → Review Fuel Transaction History, and export it to Excel. Paste this data into the LME tab.
- Reconcile the LoadMaster report, using VLOOKUPs to add terminal and company status by referencing column C (Tractor).
- For further details, add truck stop names using VLOOKUP based on truck stop codes in LoadMaster.
- Calculate the discounted PPG (Price Per Gallon) by adding two columns and computing Tractor Fuel Cost and discounted price using gallons in column J (Tractor Fuel).
- Calculate the driver deduction amount from the EFS report, referencing contract numbers and in-network/out-of-network chains.
- Calculate the total driver deduction amount from EFS and confirm it matches LoadMaster's reported amount.
