I'm pretty sure my company gets a discount through the EFS card we use to buy fuel. No way would the owner pay $0.30 per gallon more for biodiesel infused diesel at a Pilot/J than buy premium diesel for less money at a local mom and pop shop.
Do fleets get a massive discount off fuel at Pilots/Petro?

The infuriating thing here is that the megas and their arse kissing ATA never mentioned a word about their discounts when advocating for ELD mandate in their "level playing field" argument.
So it is so very true to say that by buying fuel at Petro - TA/PFJ/Loves for cash price you sponsor megas.
P.S.
I say "No!" to this and getting myself NASTC membership soon. Of course, the fuel card is the carrot and the "meeting" is the stick. I hope they are more or less like OOIDA for what they stand for...I'll find out at the meeting...maybe I'll ask some questions too.Last edited: Dec 9, 2018
gokiddogo Thanks this. -
business credit card... I get 3% cashback that's about 9 cents savings at current diesel prices

The megas don't need sponsoring. They buy so much fuel that they get the discount they want. I remember TA wanting to pay hardball with Prime Inc. Not the biggest mega, but seeming just big enough. Prime just cut them off for a bit and TA lost millions in that quarter.
It was shocking to me as a company driver because they weren't even a frequent fuel stop.
The megas do need to buy a certian amount of fuel in "bad" areas to retain the discount. -
