Coast + FleetWage
Import Coast fuel card transactions into FleetWage to track per-driver fuel costs and calculate accurate route profitability.
Overview
Coast (formerly Coast Pay) offers modern fleet fuel cards with real-time controls. FleetWage imports Coast transaction data during payroll processing, matching fuel costs to individual drivers for profitability tracking.
Coast represents the modern generation of fleet fuel cards: real-time spend controls, instant card freezes, and a software-first dashboard that feels closer to a fintech product than a traditional fuel card portal. FedEx ISPs choosing Coast typically want tighter operational control over fuel spend than legacy cards offer, especially after a fraud incident.
FleetWage imports Coast transaction data each pay period, matches charges to drivers, and feeds the totals into per-driver and per-route profitability calculations. Coast's controls handle prevention; FleetWage handles attribution and analysis after the transactions land.

Why Coast Matters for FedEx ISP Contractors
Modern fuel cards like Coast give you the controls — per-card limits, time-of-day restrictions, geofences — but ultimately the data still has to roll up to per-driver costs to be useful in payroll and route planning. FleetWage is the layer that does that aggregation and turns it into actionable numbers. Fleets that have switched to Coast often did so because of a fuel card abuse incident on their previous card. FleetWage's anomaly detection complements Coast's preventive controls — Coast stops the abuse in real time, FleetWage detects patterns that slip through the controls and surfaces them weekly.

ISPs hardening against fuel card fraud
Coast's real-time controls plus FleetWage's per-driver attribution closes most of the loops fraudsters exploit. Prevention upstream, detection downstream.
Fleets switching from a legacy fuel card
If you're moving from WEX, Sunoco, or another legacy card to Coast specifically for the controls, FleetWage keeps the same pay and profitability workflow intact through the migration.
Newer ISPs choosing a modern stack
Coast and FleetWage are both software-first products built for fleets that want a cleaner operational experience than legacy tools provide.
Best Practices & Tips
Advice from FedEx ISP contractors who use FleetWage with Coast.
- Configure Coast's per-card limits and geofences before relying on after-the-fact detection. Prevention beats analysis every time when it comes to fuel.
- Use Coast's time-of-day rules to block charges outside expected route windows. This eliminates a whole class of fraud automatically.
- Review FleetWage's per-driver fuel report weekly. Even with Coast's controls, weekly review catches the patterns Coast's rules don't have signals for yet.
