    New 100% O/O over here. What fuel card are you using and how many cents is saving you at the pump on average. TIA

    Not necessarily a fuel card. But Look into Mudflap.
    Saved me a lot of money

    Mudflap, TCS, RTS, NASTC, etc.

    New O/O? With all of the stuff you have to get used to I'd just use Mudflap registered to any CC, that is if there are some stations where you run. Get the app and check it out.

    NASTC, discount varies just like all of ‘em. Haven’t used Mudflap in a while. Seems their discount not as good as it was compared to NASTC lately

    Also your operating area comes into play. I use TCS and Mudflap. Mudflap is great most of where I run. TCS is not. I was a bit disappointed. But I’m able to make it work.

    Using Wex Fleet one through NASTC. I hadn’t checked lately but generally around 45 cents off per gallon. Mostly TA’s. No loves or PFJ.

    I'd do NASTC if it wasn't for the fees. A couple hundred per year and a monthly fee if you don't take their safety class or whatever. I went with TCS recently (and Mudflap or old RTS card as backup). TCS is harder to fund. They don't bill you, you have to pre-fund the card. It can be a pain.

    Do your homework. Lots of threads on this here.

    Yes. They offer Blynk through Zelle. My Zelle won’t work with them. Tried 6 times and two emails. They said it’s an issue due to my bank. It’s not a small bank either. Oh well.
