    Is it Just me or does it seem like they aren’t really offering anything for discounts now? 5 cents a gallon, especially that they are charging for credit cards Trying to fuel as much as I can in the yard but doesn’t do me much good if I’m on the road, any other suggestions? Not interested in Nasac dog and pony show to use theirs either

    Seems midwest discounts aren't much. Lots of competition and already low fuel prices.

    Bigger discount in the south, and west. A buddy has the Nastac? and pricing s about the same

    Fuel went up and discounts went down. I can’t use them with the tiny area I run. Even before I wasn’t able to use them much.

    Uber Freight's discount seemed really similar to mudflap but haven't used either in a long time.

    TruckStop has their own now too. Like Mudflap, not sure how good it is

    I fuel up at the TA in Dallas Pike, WV exclusively. Luckily this is also my cheapest discounted price. This is only one of 4 fuel stops I go around. Only two of them I get a discount at. Almost all of my miles are right across the river in Ohio.

    I use RTS and some places are small discounts and others are good discounts. Just depends on the location to be honest. Cheapest I found today was 4.05 in Midwest.

    Truckerpath had a stop for $3.99 in Illinois this afternoon. I fueled using Mudflap in Illinois this afternoon for $4.05… they had the ramp closed to the cheaper truck stop, and it wasn’t worth a 10 mile detour to me. At $4 diesel fuel, you need at least 8 cents a gallon off to make it worth using Mudflap, otherwise you pay more than pump price.:mad:

    While im not enthused with their discounts in the past 3 months, and the new 1.9% fee on credit cards is annoying, you realise that theres no fee if using your bank account?
