    Hello Professionals!

    Shopping for a fuel card, basically doesn't matter TA, Loves, Pilot. Got a ton of bs calls from bs companies, and wondering if experienced drivers like you are here can give me advice which fuel card is best overall for O/O, own numbers, 1 truck?

    Thank you!

    Nastc has a Fleet one card, but you have to go through there program to get it. Loves and Pilot have a fuel card with an escrow account you can start for depositing $1000.00 in escrow. Mudflap.com has an app that gets discounts through using your credit card I think a mixture of these, along with using a Schneider if you haul loads for Schneider, can be used to get cheaper fuel today.

    Call Open Roads out of Texarkana as you are looking. I haven’t used anyone else so I am biased. But they will save you a lot off the pump price at T/A-Petro, and .28 off the pump price at Loves. I have seen as high as 1.10 off pump price at the TA-Petro but it does fluctuate daily.

    You don’t have to go through any program.

    There’s the option of paying a $350? Yearly fee plus one of their many offerings..Drug consortium is what I chose.

    They have the option to pre-fund the card for those with bad credit.
