Not all cardlock providers are the same. What should you look for when shopping for a new cardlock provider and what makes the Carson Cardlock difference?
While your cardlock cards give you access to fueling sites that are part of a larger network, your cardlock provider is only able to control costs at cardlock stations they directly operate within the larger network. When shopping for a cardlock provider, consider these factors:
Carson operates 80 cardlock stations across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, making us the largest cardlock provider in Oregon. We offer both Pacific Pride and CFN cards, which collectively include over 150,000 fueling sites nationwide.
Fuel price is set by station owners and managers. Your cardlock provider can only negotiate pricing at the stations under their direct control.
Carson leads the way in offering specialty products at our cardlock stations beyond standard diesel and gas options. Nearly half of our stations carry NEXGEN DEF at the pump. Select stations offer off-road diesel, clear premium and renewable diesel (R99), a clean-burning, drop-in diesel that is compatible with all diesel engines.

No matter where your team fuels – at a CFN, Pacific Pride, travel center, or participating retail gas station – all purchases made on your Carson Cardlock card will be included in one invoice, reducing the time spent managing fuel expenditures. Plus, you can set up auto-pay using our online customer portal.
Carson does not just hand you a card and walk away. As a new Carson Cardlock customer, our sales team will offer personalized onboarding to ensure your account is optimized for your business’ fuel needs with the highest possible protection. And our dedicated Cardlock Customer Care Team provides quick solutions for your ongoing cardlock needs. You’ll always know who to call when you have a question.
Fuel theft and misuse can drain your budget. Carson’s system allows you to tailor settings to your fleet’s actual needs. This level of control helps reduce the chances for “slippage” and limits exposure if your card is stolen or misused.
Carson’s platform integrates with your accounting systems and offers detailed, customizable reporting to monitor fuel volumes, fill locations, and more. Close monitoring of fuel purchases helps businesses catch irregularities and reduce slippage.
Fuel price is set by station owners and managers. Your cardlock provider can only negotiate pricing at the stations under their direct control.
