Full Circle TMS integrates with EFS Fleet Cards to automate driver advances and settlement process.

September 25, 2018 - Full Circle TMS, a web-based transportation management software (TMS) provider, is excited to announce that they now integrate with EFS (A WEX company) Fleet Cards.

EFS, now part of WEX (NYSE: WEX), offers a variety of fuel cards and fleet technology services for over-the-road (OTR) trucking companies with employee or owner-operator drivers.

The Full Circle TMS interface makes it easy to safely and automatically advance money to a driver using the carrier defined “driver advance policies”. Driver advances are loaded onto the driver card and then automatically inserted into the Full Circle TMS settlement deduction system to apply against the drivers upcoming settlement.

“We wanted to integrate with a fleet card that was proven, industry-leading, and easy to use,” says Stuart Sutton, President of Full Circle TMS. “EFS has been around for many years and has a strong reputation of being a leader in the fleet card space.”

Also, the setup is super easy,” Sutton said. “Our customers easily link the driver profile in the Full Circle system with the fleet card in the EFS system and then define their ‘driver advance policies’. When dispatch gives the driver an advance via the integration, it loads money on the card and automatically creates all the necessary driver settlement records.”

“I like the automation when dispatching,” says Mike Pettrey, President of C & M Transport. “When dispatching, the Full Circle TMS system calculates the maximum allowable advance for the dispatcher based on our company policies. It is a simple mouse click to put the money on the driver card and create the corresponding settlement deduction. No more complex calculations for dispatchers. No more driver negotiating with the dispatcher. No more need for dispatchers to sign into two different systems to create a driver advance.”
