Jiffy Lube Card-Based Solution Allows Fleet Managers to Track Fleet Spending and Maintenance

ARTICLE TOOLS        | E-MailPrint

HOUSTON – Jiffy Lube has launched the new Jiffy Lube Fleet Card, which allows fleet managers to access monthly reports itemizing services by driver, location, date, and time through a secure online Web site, where they can also monitor purchases in real-time and ensure that policies are enforced, according to www.franchising.com.

The Jiffy Lube Fleet Card offers a secure Web site for fleet managers to create customized maintenance plan parameters, track expenses, and evaluate vehicle service trends. The establishment of purchase boundaries helps to reduce unauthorized purchases and disputes, control costs, and ensure service transactions are more efficient. The customization tool is a unique feature enabling fleet managers to create maintenance plans specific to their business needs.

The Jiffy Lube Fleet Card stores maintenance plan parameters, eliminating delays at check-out. Since the Jiffy Lube Fleet Card is a credit card, fleet managers no longer need to approve individual transactions. To streamline the process, each driver is provided with a Driver ID, similar to a pin on a debit card. It identifies each vehicle, facilitating an easy point-of-purchase approval and payment process.

The Jiffy Lube Fleet Card program requires that the driver, vehicle, and the Jiffy Lube Fleet Card are present at each transaction.

SEC Proposal to Allow Early Adoption of International Accounting Standards

By Mike Antich
On Aug. 27, the Securities and Exchange Commission raised the possibility that approximately 110 U.S. publicly traded companies will be able to use international accounting standards (IAS) next year and may require all U.S. companies to switch to IAS between 2014-2016. There is a 60-day comment period about the SEC proposal. Fleet leasing will be impacted by the adoption of IAS. It is probable that all fleet leases in the U.S. will need to be capitalized sometime in the 2011-2016 timeframe.

The Hidden Cost of Personal Use

By Mike Antich
With fuel prices remaining elevated, many companies are wondering whether they are charging enough for personal use. At some companies, this discussion is long overdue. When re-evaluating personal use charges, a common mistake is to focus solely on the cost of fuel, which is understandable because, after all, fuel is the catalyst for these discussions. However, doing so ignores the other “hidden” costs of personal use, which have also risen.
