    Since the Northeast region doesn't have a lot of places like Pilot, TA and Love's at which to use/gain rewards points for fuel purchases, I'm curious what other drivers are using for reward programs is this area? Irving seems to have a program, but the benefits don't really amount to much. Does anyone have suggestions they're willing to share?

    Be strategic with your fuel stops....you should be able to run 1000+ miles on both tanks full

    Find the little places that have fuel for far less than the big truck stops, always fill it up there. NJ turnpike always has a good price. Your boss shouldn't mind paying for your showers with what he will save in fuel.

    Exactly. I live right off 87 and there is a gas station with a diesel island you can get a truck and trailer in to right off exit 10 in Clifton Park that has diesel for $3.85. I make it a point to buy most of my fuel there vs. Pilot and most of the other truck stops in the area at $4.25.

    I live in and run the northeast on occasion, company I am leased to gets good discounts at TA and that is where I usually fuel, while they are not as plentiful as the Midwest, as long as I plan my fuel stops and fill up both tanks I haven't had a problem yet.
