Fuel is our biggest expense, so getting the best discounts matters. Let’s share what’s actually working in 2026.

What I’ve Heard About:

TCS Fuel Card

  • Good network coverage
  • Discounts at major truck stops
  • Fleet-level pricing for small carriers

Pilot Flying J / Love’s Fleet Cards

  • Loyalty points that actually add up
  • In-network discounts at their locations
  • Some have DEF discounts too

RTS Fuel Card

  • Tied to their factoring services
  • Good for new owner-operators
  • Instant funding after deliveries

Mudflap App

  • Discount aggregator
  • Works at multiple locations
  • No commitment

What I Want to Know:

  1. What card are you running? And how much are you actually saving per gallon?

  2. Do you stack discounts? (App + card + rewards)

  3. Any hidden fees to watch out for?

  4. Customer service - Can you actually reach someone when there’s an issue at the pump?

I’m tired of the marketing hype - let’s get real numbers and real experiences. Drop your fuel card setup below! :fuel_pump:
