    Saving with a fuel card

    Does anyone use their fuel card for saving? I know that sounds funny since your fuel card is supposed to get you a discount, but are you saving with it? Seeing the discounts after my fuel purchases got me to thinking, so I decided to try out a simple plan. Let's say I get my fuel surcharge money...

    Rookie, No More

    Comdata Fleet Advance App

    For those unaware, Comdata has a pretty good app available. I've been using it for a while. One kind of cool thing about it is the find fuel button. No more calling TA/Petro ( Pilot, Love's, etc. is a set discount, and easy to compute ) for the cash or discounted price , just hit the find fuel...

    DOT regs (393.11) state that straight trucks are NOT required to have the same rear door markings as trailers. However, Landstar does want/require the top, rear doors to have the "L" markings. According to Compliance, they want uniformity with the fleet. Be safe Greg
