That’s exactly what TFN Subcontractor offers.
Whether you’re working with seasonal drivers, once-off loads, or temporary subcontractors, TFN’s Subcontractor Cash Module is designed to give you structure, control, and transparency, even for the short-term.
Built for Flexibility
TFN Sub Account Management allows you to load temporary or contract drivers under your main TFN Cash account, set their limits, apply markups, and manage everything from one place.
The setup takes just a few minutes, and you can remove or deactivate profiles when they’re no longer needed, no long-term contracts, no extra fees.
Key Features That Make It Ideal for Short-Term Work
Fast Setup
Add a new subcontractor in minutes with basic driver and vehicle info.
Custom Spend Limits
Set daily or weekly fuel caps to protect your cash flow and prevent overspending.
Temporary Access
Deactivate or remove the subcontractor once their work is done, easy to manage, no strings attached.
Individual Markups
Apply your own pricing per subcontractor, helping you recover admin costs or protect your margin.
Instant Reports
Track who refuelled, how much they spent, and what was ordered with proof and timestamps.
Real Example
You’ve got a three-week contract moving loads between Gauteng and Mpumalanga. You bring in two extra transporters just for this job.
Instead of giving them cash or managing WhatsApp instructions:
- You add them to your TFN dashboard
- Set a daily spend limit of R1500
- Apply a R0.60 markup to cover your coordination effort
- Monitor their fuel use daily via automated reports
- Deactivate their access once the contract ends or place orders on behalf of the contractor only for the actual load they collect and deliver
- No fuss. No delays. Just clean, controlled fuel management.
Works for All Types of Temporary Transporters
- Seasonal drivers
- Harvest support fleets
- Special event logistics
- Short-term contracts or high-volume periods
- Emergency transport jobs
- TFN Sub Contractor Account works for any type of transporter and you’re always in the driver’s seat and make the rules
Why It Makes Business Sense
- No commitment needed – use it when you need it
- No financial risk – control spend tightly with limits
- No messy admin – track and report everything in one dashboard
- No delays – setup is fast, and refuelling starts immediately
