    Any suggestions on what type card is best for someone under their own authority ?? Many TS's won't give you the "cash" price with certain debit cards. I'm familiar with Comdata only. I want a good card that does it all and will give me the "cash" price at the pump.

    Glad you brought this topic up. I was just about to ask the same things.
    What services are available for an OO regarding fuel savings.. Has anyone used Fuelman? I saw someone mention this topic in anpther thread but I can't find where. Hope they see this and chime in.

    fuelman has a very limited network. if you run locally and there is some around then it's a decent card. Around here they aremostly shell and velaro stations not the big truck stops

    Fleet One. Same service and stops as ComData but no transaction fees for fuel. TCH, EFS, T-Check, etc. are all good but they'll all charge you a swipe fee. Only place it doesn't work is J. Good luck!

    I'm on the cheque cashing list at TA, Petro, Pilot and Flying J and pay by cheque. I can also get $250 over purchase.
