Save time and boost fuel efficiency by finding discount fuel rates.
When it comes to saving money on the road, boosting fuel efficiency is a top priority for many truckers.

Get added benefits with discounts and perks
Go beyond fuel discounts with added benefits that save you money and make your drive more comfortable.
With the best fuel credit card for truckers, you get more than just savings of 2¢ to 25¢ per gallon — you also get perks like free showers, free fuel points, and discounts on purchases at truck stops. Those fuel points can add up fast, letting you purchase everything from food to headsets to a truck GPS using just your points.
“WEX adds extra value because they tailored the program to give us varying start and stop times for fueling. They also allow us to assign the cards to employees and cut down on fraud. It’s a very good program for us.”
-Charles Cotton, Fleet and Logistics Director – Lucas Tree Experts
“Before, fleets had to give their guys cash for fuel and trust it would be spent correctly. Now the fuel card gives that control back to us. Using Comdata®, we’ve never had any issues.”
- Chris Berrig, Owner – CP Express Transport LLC
A fuel card works just like a charge card. You swipe it when purchasing fuel to get a discount, accumulate points, and gain access to added benefits like free showers or truck stop purchase discounts.
As any owner-operator knows, fuel is one of your biggest — and most variable — expenses. Given that fuel prices rise and fall constantly based on factors outside of anyone’s control, having a fuel card that helps deliver consistent savings through partnerships with specific fuel stations is key to maintaining your bottom line.
Boosting your fuel efficiency helps you save money on your fuel costs. The best way to do this is by getting a quality fuel card. In addition, some other tips to increase your fuel efficiency include:
- Avoid idling
- Find the best speed for fuel economy on your specific vehicle (probably around 55 to 62 mph)
- Keep the boost as low as possible
- Haul lighter loads — with DAT load boards, it’s easy to find lighter loads that require less fuel
