Besides the driver rewards cards at the truckstop, do you receive any discounts for products and services because you are a driver? Do you get them because of your company or can you sign up for them? I am interested in phone, food, hotel, pet supply, rewards, whatever can save a buck. What do you get and do you use it?
Discounts or freebies for truckers?

Lot of hotels will give a discount. Several discounts available through OOIDA membership. Ask your company about other discounts. I got a 16% cell phone discount from ATT when I was leased to a company. Not there anymore but I still get the discount. Ask for one on everything. All they can say is no.

We get a discount on hotel. 15-20% and then use a rewards card on top. Works out to every 5th night free. We've been using it so long its a "black" card and we get little perks when we book like free upgrades early and late check out even free stays when we drag in at 4AM and are staying the next night. We use LaQuinta, but lots of hotels offer them.

A hotel might not have a "CDL" discount specifically, but most all have a "business" rate that is 10-15% off the regular price...same discount, different name. I usually ask for the "CDL or business rate" when I check in.
b l a c k b e a r d Thanks this.
