Then i tried a comdata credit card, the discounts are minimal but at least I don't think i'm being cheated or deceived.
I'd assume MudFlap is similar to TCS, where you have to prefund the card or link a debit/credit card. They're probably also trying to somehow deceive you or steal your money. There is no way these companies are being offered 40-60 cents off per gallon on a regular basis. They bait you in with big discounts in the beginning, and then hope that you don't check your statements later on to see that the price you paid was in fact much higher than what you thought you were going to pay.
I've heard on here that NASTIC is good, i haven't looked into them but I might check them out. I wouldn't mind paying an annual fee if I'm actually gettting good discounts and aren't being deceived. You gotta watch out for these finance companies, everyone thinks truckers are dumb as $%^$, and it's considered fair game to screw them over anyway you can. From diesel techs, to factoring, fuel card companies, etc. They prey on that fact that you make a lot of $$$$ and have to juggle lots of paperwork, etc and maybe they can slip one ripoff past you without you knowing.
Sorry for the rant, so there might be some good fuel cards. I think your best bet is using a good cash back rewards credit card at smaller fuel stops like some others have said.John E. Thanks this. -
MudFlap is one of the few that is truly completely free. No setup fees, monthly or yearly fees. They don’t make you load money onto their card or have access to your bank account. Everything you charge goes on whatever card you swipe to pay with.
There not setup yet at the main big truck stops but have plenty of others to choose from. -
Here is a copy of my receipt
About 50 cents off on fuel and def is pump price at this TS. Some others may be higher discounts
The couple hundred in yearly fees is paid for in a couple fills

But I think our discount at the pump
Is pretty high so maybe it’s part of the ifta thing
Get X$ off now but pay X$ back when you file??
I have no idea as the company I’m leased on with files everything and deduct the $ from my check
I don’t pay a ton of attention to that, if I need fuel all I can do is find the cheapest place to buy it but other than that it’s out of my control.shooter19802003 Thanks this. -
