    Is there any real difference between the 'Truckers Advantage ' fuel card sponsored by OOIDA and Fleet One and the fuel card sponsored by NASTC utilizing their QPN network?
    Both have many participants and tout all the savings.

    No contest. NASTC wins this matchup.

    Sorry, but 'participants' doesn't mean anything. And the 'savings' are far from equal.

    NASTC is going to cost you some money up front to join but the fuel savings are much larger

    Plus nastc makes you go to their yearly meeting for those who sign up. We just called and weren't allowed to sign up because we couldn't make the meeting

    NASTC you have to attend the meeting every year? Thought it was only to get setup to use the card?

    I am curious what percentage do you see for fuel savings (per gallon)?

    It's a one-time meeting. I've been a member for over two years and just paid for my third year over the phone.

    And as for their 'meeting', they do one once-a-month for new companies joining NASTC. So, your 'once a year' meeting can be done at any time at their home office in Tennessee (they also hold one at MATS).

    Got it.. So since we can't attend the meeting what happens to all all all the companies that call AFTER the meeting is already held? They have to wait til next year to get the card?

    They hold a meeting every month. They also hold a meeting once a year at MATS in Louisville.

    You only need to attend the meeting once and you're in for life (assuming you keep paying your annual membership).

    What kind of savings are you Nastc members seeing? Whether off the pump price or price plus: what are the savings realized vs what pump price is?
