16. A method for tracking fuel deliveries, comprising:
reading, with a reader of a mobile device, information from a tag on a vehicle, including at least a vehicle identifier of the vehicle;
enabling, with the mobile device, the fuel meter in response to the reading so that the fuel meter allows fuel to flow from a tank of the fuel truck through the fuel meter for a refueling operation for the vehicle;
polling, with the mobile device, the fuel meter for receiving from the fuel meter a plurality of readings indicating amounts of the fuel that have passed through the fuel meter;
determining, with the mobile device, a first value indicating a total amount of the fuel that has passed through the fuel meter during the refueling operation for the vehicle based on the plurality of readings;
storing the first value in memory; and
correlating, in the memory, the first value with the vehicle identifier.
