So tomorrow, I pick up a used 5th Wheel Trailer. As part of this new adventure, for us, I also picked up a new 2022 GMC 3500HD Duramax Diesel truck last week.
The guy who we are buying the 5th Wheel from turned me onto this EFS Fleet Fuel Card.
Today I filled up at a gas station, that participates in the fleet program. The price at the pump was $4.69 a gallon. I paid $4.33 a gallon using the fleet gas card.
You have to go through the pumps where the big commercial tractor trailers fill. You can usually also fill up with DEF there.
You use the card, just like a debit/credit card at the pump, supplying a PIN, or in my case, there was not reader at the pump so I just paid inside with the card.
The company has an app called OpenRoads which shows all the truck stops and gas stations that are part of the fleet program, this includes Pilot, Love's, TA and many more. It also shows you todays price per gallon.
Setting this up is all done online. You do have to attach a checking account to your card. I have a secondary checking account which I use for things like ticketmaster or similar when I am reselling tickets or moving money through Venmo. I keep a small balance in this account. The company direct debits the gas you buy a day or two after you fill your tank. The app shows you all the details of your transactions.
The cost of this is, they take 5% of the amount you save.
The card is a TSD Logistics Inc, TSD Open Roads card. It was setup for Rv's and they basically add you to their fleet account, which allows you to purchase fuel at their discount fleet price.
So today on my first use, I saved $7.94 on 21 gallons.
There are plenty of YT videos, mostly RV'ers, using this method.
