Relay Payments Launches Relay Pulse, an ELD Integration to Prevent First-Party Fuel Fraud

Relay Pulse connects with 100+ ELD providers—including Samsara, Motive, and ISAAC—to block unauthorized fueling and reduce manual oversight

ATLANTA, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Relay Payments, the fintech company modernizing payments for the trucking and logistics industries, has launched Relay Pulse, an interactive solution leveraging a strong integration with a carrier's ELD to prevent fraud by giving carriers greater visibility and control over driver fueling.

Fuel fraud remains a costly challenge for fleets, especially first-party fuel fraud, where carriers struggle to track driver fueling behavior and prevent unauthorized transactions from drivers committing fraud. Relay Pulse integrates directly with electronic logging devices (ELDs) to automate fraud prevention, eliminate manual processes and reduce operational risk.

"Relay Pulse has been a game changer for us," said Navjot Thandi, Operations Manager at Royal Carrier LLC. "We can now accurately track fuel usage and cost in real-time – no more guessing, and no more theft. It's a powerful tool that gives us visibility into our operations and helps us reduce expenses, which is critical in today's market."

Relay Pulse integrates with 100+ ELD providers—including Samsara, Motive, ISAAC, and more—to help prevent first-party fuel fraud. By enforcing fueling policies—like on-duty verification, truck location verification, and tank capacity checks—Relay Pulse stops fraudulent transactions before they happen.

Key features and capabilities of Relay Pulse include:

• Automatic enforcement of fuel tank thresholds to block unauthorized transactions and prevent excessive fueling.
• Confirmation that the fuel tank increased after fueling.
• Truck Location verification to block fueling attempts when drivers are not near their truck.
• Real-time driver and vehicle syncing to ensure drivers are assigned to the correct truck, keeping fueling records accurate.
• Automated onboarding and offboarding of drivers between Relay and your ELD system to maintain up-to-date permissions.

"Fuel fraud costs carriers millions each year, yet most solutions leave too many gaps in visibility and control," said Ryan Droege, CEO of Relay Payments. "First-party fuel fraud is often an afterthought, and when fleets do try to solve for it, they're stuck with time-consuming manual processes that only catch fraud after a driver has successfully stolen fuel. Relay Pulse changes that by giving carriers real-time control over when their drivers fuel and how much they can purchase."
