    dude please explain better thise last columns: retail price - retail factor - retail fuel price - fuel price columns

    lets get for example the first TA Tuscaloosa AL - cash price now there is 3.759$ is that mean that you will pay at the pump the yellow column price 3.5540 after the U Sav discount?

    You gotta use the comdata card they give when you lease on. The yellow is what the company charges you. The receipt you get from the truck stop can be $60+ off depending on how much you purchase.

    Receipt will show 3.759 but you will be charged 3.554 on that weekly settlement. So 100 gallons would save you $20. But you gotta be leased to universal to get these discounts. NASTC has great discounts but I think these might be better. I only pay $1.25 I believe for each fuel transaction.

    where I fill up on my local gig I pay on average 3.77 a gallon. About $30 savings a week, it adds up.

    That's what I was wondering. Well, it's my first time doing it, so it doesn't surprise me that I messed up. I'll call my buddy on Monday and get it sorted out.
