    Hey guys I'm trying to decide on a fuel card to use. What do you think EFS or NASTC? Who has the bigger network and discount. I want to be able to fuel at all the big truck stops not just the Petro or TA.

    I have only done NASTC. I would be surprised if any fuel card can beat NASTC. If there is one, I would want to know.

    Unfortunately, NASTC does not have Pilot/FJ or Love’s. So, goodbye to the free daily shower program. NASTC network includes TA/Petro, AMBEST, Speedway, Kwik Trip/Star, Sapp Bros, Roady’s, Sunoco, and other smaller truck stops.

    The other competitors are RTS, OOIDA fuel card, and Uber Freight Plus fuel card.

    How hard is the Nastc fuel card to get? Is it credit based? Do they give you a credit line.

    It’s not hard at all. Just give them a call, and they will tell you how to get it. You can set it up with credit or your own money (prepay).

    EFS is just card payment network system like Visa and MasterCard. NASTC has FleetOne cards.

    It exist a lot of different EFS cards with different discounts.

    I have NASTC and RTS. Compared with TCS and Fuel+.

    NASTC ant TCS - TA-Petro Sapp Brosers, Ambest, Speedway and a lot of small truck stops- no Loves an Pilot-Flying J.
    RTS - Pilot-Flying J, Ambest, Speedway and a lot of small truck stops - no Loves, no TA-Petro.
    Fuel+ - TA-Petro Sapp Brosers, Ambest, Loves an Pilot-Flying J.

    NASTC is the best for me, because i save more with them.

    I fuel always two times: 60+ gallons at TA/Petro. So i have each fueling 2 shower credit.

    It not necessary to go to seminar more.
    You can have NASTC fuel card without, but with $4.75 monthly fee.

    Question brother. To get the RTS fuel card do you have to use their factoring service?
