    I literally have a headache after talking to one 9. Evidently it’s just a rewards program and you need a pilot fleet card, but she couldn’t tell me anything about it.

    What’s on the PDF is not the discount.

    My nastc membership is up for renewal in a couple weeks and after doing the math, I will be dropping them if they don’t wave the requirement that I be enrolled in the msp program. The msp program is $38 a month plus the membership, and really it is of no benefit to me.
    After averaging out the difference between tcs and nastc. I figure I’ll save roughly $670 a year.
    @ChicagoJohn you asked earlier about funding the tcs card. I’ve started using a cash back credit card to fund it through western union. Depending on how much I send it covers the fees or sometimes puts me a little on the plus side.

    I forgot what it stands for,members safety program? Basically they monitor your dot number,send out a safety video etc. I don’t see it being worth $38 a month. It was that or attend one of their sales pitch meeting and that wouldn’t work. I do ltl reefer and the scheduling is fairly tight, and I also don’t have the patience to sit around and listen to someone try to tell me how to run my business.
     
    PE_T Thanks this.

    The seminar is like 20% educational and 80% they trying to sell you something. It wasn’t that bad. Some of the things they taught me, I’ve seen play out on other people who failed in business. So I guess the seminar can help some people.
     
    062 Thanks this.

    The more yellow or brown the fuel is, the higher the soy bean oil in it. I hauled all kinds of veg oils as a tanker tanker for years. I can pull up to the pumps and smell the bean oil in the air at the higher bio blend pumps.
