    No loves truckstops added to nastc card, probably it never will be a part of the nastc network, they are a bunch of fools, i tried to get their card with 12 cent discount and they told me that i need to get their factoring program too or no card, no card them, glad i did not get it, i am saving a lot more with nastc card, $130 to $200 a week with just one truck, dont think any other card can come close to it except landstar bso's program. I am getting enough showers too with my ultra one card for showering two o three times a week for free, when needed i pay for showers in loves or pfj, with the discounts we are getting, we can afford to pay for showers from time to time and still saving a lot of money.

    I dont see or expect any loves to be part of nastc network any time soon, they are just a bunch of fools expecting to compete in the market forcing people to go their way, i tried to get one of their cards with 12 cents discount and couldnt get it because they try to force me to get their factoring program too or no card, no card them, glad i did not get it.
    Right now with the nastc card i am getting from $700 to $800 discount a month with just 1 truck, and enough showers with my ultra one card, on top of that TA and Petro's got the best quality fuel (and best showers and food) you can find anywhere in the country. I really think our discount is the best in the market together with the one for landstar bso's.
    I am really glad with my nastc card.

    Now, unfortunately, Speedway isn’t part of the network. Frowny face.

    In house account at major fuel stops. No card needed.

    I run for a company with 4 trucks and the other day I paid $2.09 less IFTA. Average seems to be between $2.20 and $2.40 less IFTA.

    NASTC discounts are pretty sweet.
     
    PE_T Thanks this.

    What is the discount like for that? I know at pilot/flying J it’s only like $.10-$0.14.

    We had EFS earlier this year, and I didn’t have anything to do with the admin side of it, but I can tell you the NASTC discount is much better.

    One downside is that the NASTC card seems to be on usable for maintenance at some TA/petro locations. Some kind of issue with the card swipe not taking.

    Not sure. It's an old carrier.

    Why
    Why don’t you use Fuel+? Seems to be a good move to round out fuel purchase options.

    Guys, I’m gonna be honest with you. I don’t know how one trucker uses one shower per day, let alone two. To each his own, though. :biggrin_2559:
     
    PE_T Thanks this.

    TA and PFJ have recently “rewarded” drivers by shortening the shelf life of a shower credit. Now it’s a week or so instead of two weeks at both locations.
