Advantage of Fuel Cards for Owner Operators?

Depending upon fleet size you may pay less than the advertised price w/ a fleet card. I’m sure there’s some good posts on here somewhere on which one is better than another. There’s some cards that work at almost any station in a network. Keep in mind if you are new and doing 48 or close to it, only the big truck stops are in the gps. It may take a while to figure out what smaller stations along your route take them. A cc works almost anywhere but you might miss out on a discount.
(I have never been an o/o. Just what I have picked up from listening to others, don’t listen to me. )

 

Call me a hater, but if you don't understand fuel cards and how they work, you're not ready to be an owner operator.

 

Not to mentioned the countless threads on this already

 

I got a couple of people that say Mud Flap is not what it used to be..

 

It's not, but it's better than no discount at all. My first company I leased to, they only gave 21-27 cents a gallon off, depending on which chain. Current company I'm leased to gives pretty good discounts at Love's, buy I've seen it cheaper on mudflap sometimes. Not enough to make it worth going out of route, tho.
