    I've noticed that the top notch trucks stops are all breaking it off in the truckers too.
    Fill up at mom and pops and save big money.

    Also any one running southeast to mid-Atlantic kangaroo normally has hotter fuel 1-2 cent cheaper. Just no showers and little parking

    Fleet One is the way to go. I started with a BOA credit card and was spending more money. They take the money out auto every Monday. i give my driver $500 a day. More than enough.

    Notice competition keeps their prices down when there is more than one truckstop at an exit. All of them have higher prices when they have little to no competition nearby.

    Have talked to several drivers,and from personal expeirance. The bio-blends don't work for me. When you get 300+miles more from #2 where are you saving any money? I only fuel at pilot/fj-loves if I have to. Cheaper to buy higher price and go further.
