A lost or stolen Vehicle Fuel Fob: What is the immediate action?

• A. Must be reported to the Fleet Management Unit immediately
• B. Report to the supervisor on duty
• C. Do nothing until shift end
• D. Return to the last operator

Answer: (A)

When a fuel fob is lost or stolen, the immediate action is to report it to the Fleet Management Unit right away. This credential can grant access to fueling systems and sometimes to vehicles, so getting it reported immediately allows the fleet team to deactivate the fob, review recent access logs, and issue a replacement before it’s misused. Quick reporting minimizes security risks, prevents unauthorized fueling or vehicle use, and helps safeguard equipment and fuel. Waiting until later, reporting to only a supervisor, doing nothing, or assuming someone will return it are all insecure options that can lead to theft or misuse. The fleet team is equipped to handle the situation promptly and restore normal operations safely.
