A system for vehicle resource management with a memory, controller, and vehicle. The memory includes instructions. The controller executes the instructions. The vehicle includes a vehicle system, controls device, and can communicate with the controller. The vehicle system generates resource data for a replenishable resource. The controls device commands the vehicle to perform tasks. Moreover, the instructions enable the controller to: receive resource data after a first task; provide a first status for the vehicle when the resource data reflect the resource meets a threshold requirement, or otherwise provide a second status; generate and communicate a first output after the first status is provided, the first output instructing the vehicle to reposition itself to perform a second task; and generate and communicate a second output after the second status is provided, the second output instructing the vehicle to reposition itself to replenish the resource to meet the threshold requirement.
