Best fuel card

Loves at .12 a gallon discount.

 

I have both: NASTC and RTS. Use just NASTC because their discount is higher and network bigger.

 

I've been seriously considering the NASTC program. Do you just pay a flat 250/year for that? I heard there's also 100/month fee too. Any truth to that?

 

$250 a year and I think $9 a month. Used to be $6 a month but it went up last year. The first year there was an additional $50 set up fee.

 

So might as well say $358 yr? I talked to them at MATS last Friday, and talked to some hands that use NASTC. Drivers said it saves them quite a bit. I'm going to look into it a little more. There is a T/A 20 miles east of me which I pass by a lot, then a Flying J 25 miles west of here, only other big option is 2 Gomart truck stops. Gomart gives .5 gallon discount for cash.

TA Winfield WV $2.794
TA Valley Grove WV $2.834

 

They just sent me some details. $300 per year, one time $50 setup fee and $4.25 per month card maintenance fee. So basically $351/year. Discounts look pretty good especially in the Mid-Atlantic area.

They also provide NTL and GL insurance but after inquiring about it they sent me a lengthy application to fill out. I'll be passing on that. A quote should be as painless as possible for me. They certainly failed in that regard.

 

There will be an application proses. They are offering you credit. It’s a 7 day float and set up my limit for $3000.00 for 1 Truck.

There are decent discounts at the big guys but they have a lot of others to chose from too. A lot of the independents and chains like speedway. I find generally I get the best prices at speedway in my usual lanes using NASTIC. Last year I tracked all my fuel discounted price to pump price. I saved like .24 cents per gallon. About $320 dollars a month. I do fuel outside the network when I’m home because the best diesel price in the state is in my town but just one slow pump and no trailers.

 

There's no mentioning of credit checks in any of the forms they're asking me to complete. A 10 day due date is mentioned though. I wonder how they determine the limit.

 

They asked me if $3000.00 was enough? I said sounds good to me. And so it was.
