    Most of the Mavericks around here have set themselves up to serve semi's.

    We fuel up at Maverick. It can be anwhere from $.30 to .$50 cheaper then J.

    There has been a few times where I"ve had to use my credit card for the company truck. (lost the card or card wouldn't read, etc. NEVER the companies fault.) Never been shut off at $75. One time I did it though, It actually got shut down right there on the spot. The card was approved. I filled up 100 gallons. Hung up the pump and the charge was blocked and card shut down. Had to use another card and wait for the credit union to open up to turn my card on. It was shut down because the charge was rather large for the location. ROFL.

    Yes, He ALWAYS pays me back immediately.

    I have new cards now that offer cash back. I"m tempted to start purchasing for the company and bossman can write me a check every payday. Since he don't get a discount with the card he uses.

    When I drove for a guy who only had 3 trucks. I used my credit card to fuel, and was reimbursed after every trip. The 2% cash back added up nicely after a year.

    You got your answer not much I can add to it. When I go home I fuel at the sunoco. There glad to see me cause it's usually just pick ups or the lawn guys. They take 20 gallons and I take 250+
    It takes a little longer to fuel than it does at the peelot at the next exit. But that time is an investment on "hugs and kisses" Because when you get 200 gallons, and save forty cent a gallon. That's $80 to take mama out for dinner and drinks.

    That’s how I look at it. It’s the difference between the dollar menu @ Mcds or a good Steakhouse dinner.
