    There is many threads pertaining to this request and you will get many options and feedback.
    As an O/O I use the NASTC card and you get excellent discounts on their network. Most of the TS are the TA/Petro chain with smaller independent
    fuel stops. As usual discounts can vary from state to state and the card is run by Fleetone.
    Annual membership to NASTC is $250 and there's a monthly charge of $3.95. But you will get that membership charge back pretty quickly with the discounts I'm getting. Definitely worth considering. Good luck.

    No, Never did. I don't think it's necessary these days. Who can take the time off to do that.

    A guy told me about the fuel card/program, sayin how much of a discount he got. So I went to the website,kinda liked what I saw, until the part about attending a class. So true about not having lots of free time. Maybe I'll call just them, just for giggles.

    If You independent somebody stated that You can sign in for some kind of safety plan to avoid going to class.
    If You leased to somebody they just need Your lease agreement.

    Either way, for one truck show, they are best on the market IF you can fuel on their prefered network.

    I've been with NASTC for a little over a year. The discounts are great although the network is a bit limited in some areas. I never went to a class but to avoid it I had to enroll in their safety program for $27 a month. It's kind of a scam in my opinion but the savings I get on fuel more than make up for the annual membership fee and the safety program.

    I just joined NASTC a month ago just to get the Fleet One fuel card. membership cost 250 with a $50 setup charge by Fleet One plus the 3.95 monthly fee but I have been getting 25 to 40 cent per gallon discount so I would recommend it. I didn't take any class and don't remember the saying anything about it.

    Hello there, I'm doing research into getting a fuel card and what I can't find anywhere is list of fees each of them has so I can compare and go with the best one.

    I see NASTC fees but there are so many other cards like Comdata and EFS...anyone have any experience with any other fuel cards?

    Shop around, a lot of guys I know use Comdata but I am with EFS bc I get extra discounts through the financing company I use.

    A few phone calls to the companies will help you see what works for you. Make sure you ask about yearly fees or usage fees and if it works at every stop or only a select few.
