Truckers advantage fuel card

I don't think it's a big deal, but if it really bugs you then set up a second checking account and just transfer what you want them to access.

 

Well if its anything like Fleetone card I use via NASTC, then they probably wont want to use any credit card for payment, because of commission issues.
I've never had a problem with them accessing my bank account, works very well for me, but the obvious solution is to set up a separate bank account just to accommodate your fuel purchases. Then transfer the money to satisfy the weekly bill.
Good luck.

 

What is the advantage in using a fuel card? I use my credit card that has high limits in truck stops that charges the same for credit or cash, like the QT in Ft.Worth, Tx. I am interested to know the advantages or not and if there is savings involved, which one is the best in the market so I can apply? Thanks for the answers ...

 

I also use my VISA for fuel but can't always find a place where cash and credit are the same price. As far as I know the specialized fuel cards provide deeper discounts than cash pricing. They earn their dough by keeping the difference between what they buy and sell the fuel for.

 

My cost plus fuel card was .22 cheaper per gallon today than the QT near St Louis. That's 3+ cpm in my pocket for not doing anything.

 

What card do you use and what are the hoops I have To go tru to apply for one?

 

I would suggest contacting RTS Carrier Services and get a Fleet One card through them. You will get 8 cents off the cash price at TA/Petro, 6.5 cents off at Pilot/Flying J and discounts at Sapp Brothers and independents. No annual fee, $6 monthly fee and pay within seven days.

We liked Comdata better, but they instituted a $60 per month fee in October which wiped out any fuel savings we were getting. However, TBS Factoring Service is now offering Comdata, any may want to check with them, too.

 

Great idea! thanks
