fuel is typically your Largest and most volitile operating cost

Our Mission 

Our mission is to level the fuel procurement playing field for commercial fleets of every size — delivering the buying power, market intelligence, and active procurement management that Fortune 500 operators have always had, and small and mid-sized fleets have never been able to access on their own.
Our Vision
To become the procurement arm for every small and mid-sized commercial fleet in America — starting with fuel, and expanding across every major spend category until independent operators have the same sourcing infrastructure as the Fortune 500 companies they compete against every day.

"I've seen this from the supplier side and the GPO side. Fortune 500 fleets get rigorous sourcing, active market monitoring, and negotiated terms because they have a team built to do it. Small and mid-sized fleets deserve that same infrastructure. That's what we're building."

Meet Co-Founder Steve Cross

Steve Cross CoreTrust Logistics

“My dad ran a small hardware store, and I watched him work twice as hard every day to compete with big-box retailers who could buy at prices he’d never get on his own. Small and mid-sized fleets are in that same fight today with fuel. They already have the grit and the operational discipline to compete with much larger organizations — what they haven’t had is the buying power. The Fuel Purchasing Alliance is one more arrow in their quiver to help them do that.”
