Best fuel card to get for an Owner Operator?

NASTC is the best I’ve found. Been with them over 10 years. The $250 fee can be saved back in 2-3 fillips some times. Depending on if fuel prices are on the way up or down.

 

. RTS pilot titan card. Not the regular titan pricing but NASTC competitor pricing. If I move away for NASTC and want a RTS fleet one I can. My pilot would go to a direct bill.

 

TCS has been good for me running around the Pacific Northwest. I typically save $200 off pump price while putting on 200gal. $1/gal average savings while fuel is $5/gal pump price. The truckstops/lotlizards I frequent also play a role in choosing the TCS card.

 

I got my TCS card in November of 21 and have saved $7k since then. So I'm guessing I'm saving about $500/mo.

 

Somehow I ended up with a cost plus pfj discount by submitting a bunch of fueling data to the rep. Available locations offering cost plus changes daily sometimes. For example, last week in okc fueled at fj and on the way back through a couple days later it wasn't available for that discount.

 

es advantage a good buck 50 off pump on the average. But takes a few days to load

 

Does the TCS network focus on pilot/flying j or TA/petro? Do they invoice weekly? Any monthly or annual fees?
I use XPO and Mudflap now and that covers most places except pilot/flying j.

 

No fees and it's pretty easy to set up with them. TA/Petro mostly but the best savings are at Speedway and Ambest. I'm in TN and run mostly SE and midwest with some north east. I've never had a problem finding stations that use their network. Their app is good.

My only complaint is that they don't invoice at all. You prefund with them. I'm set up to move money from my bank via ACH but that only happens overnight on weekdays. If you forget to fund your card enough for your needs by 5 pm Friday you aren't gonna get money moved until Monday morning.

They do Zelle and Western Union too but with fees and more hoops to jump through.

 

I have both. Always always. They beat them.
