Company Publishes Free Guidance for Municipal Fleets Facing Overnight Fuel Theft
A practical playbook for city, county, utility, and school district fleets: what to document, how to justify the spend to purchasing, and where to start a phased rollout.
SARASOTA, Fla., July 22, 2026 — The Work Truck Fuel Vault has published free guidance aimed at public fleet managers dealing with overnight fuel losses from parked work trucks, service bodies, and dump trucks.
Public fleets face a particular bind. The losses are real and recurring, but they are hard to prove line by line, which makes them hard to take to a purchasing office. The guidance walks through documenting losses in a form that survives budget scrutiny, identifying the highest-risk yards and shifts, and structuring a phased rollout that fits inside an existing fiscal year.
The company supplies the documentation public purchasing offices typically require, including W-9s, certificates of insurance, quotes issued on agency forms, and written specification letters where a patent-pending design is the required solution.
“A public fleet manager does not need a sales pitch, they need paperwork that gets through purchasing,” said a company spokesperson. “So that is what we give them.”
The guidance is available at no cost on the company's resources section, alongside fitment guides organized by chassis and body manufacturer.
