    I have a Petro Canada customer loyalty card and it seems to be usless. I cannot get any points to go on it at the pump when fueling or any other way. Everytime I ask at the truckstops they dont seemt to know much about it either. Anoyone having success using this card. Whats the trick?

    Yeah, the PetroCan Cardlock card where I work says "fuel only" on it. If I need oil or windshield wiper fluid, I have to beg the boss to be reimbursed from petty cash. When the truck needs service, she has to beg her boss. Washes are on me apparently, so I won't be making that mistake again. Glad it's just local deliveries.

    We keep nothing. These are flower people, not truck people. All they know about the truck is that it's big and scary. It's a GMC 5500 cabover. LOL.

    I've only needed oil once. Window wash has been fairly consistent due to the never-ending rain. It's only a couple bucks a jug, but more the principle of the thing. I needed a bulb for a clearance light too, but never bothered trying to get paid for that.

    I have no idea what I'm supposed to do if get a flat or something. There's a worn-out spare on the dock, but no tools to change a tire with, and I wouldn't drive on that one anyway...not even in an empty field. Boss said, "Just call." So she won't mind a call at 4:15 AM?

    At least I can get fuel though.

    Yes but that's on retail only. Cardlock prices are lower than retail so they won't give you points on top of that.
