I used a Fleet card for a few months last year and I was happy to get rid of it. They withdraw money directly from your bank account every week so you have to keep a mental tab of how much your next bill is so you'll have enough money in there. Another problem is they combine one or more purchases on invoices and give you one or more invoices each week. Matching what you actually spent and how much you're being charged shouldn't be hard but they try their best to make it hard.
I've found I do better by shopping for price using gasbuddy.com and keeping an eye on what states have cheaper fuel. About the only time I'll fuel at the big chains is for the free shower and unless I'm feeling extra lazy I'll limit my purchase to the required 50 gals.
Best fuel card I have heard of is the one NASTC offers. While there is a membership fee the fee is quickly covered by the discounts. We know several independent operators that are members of NASTC and their discount is the same as ours or better. Theirs is close enough to ours that it will not pay for the membership to belong to NASTC.
Any company that does not offer a fuel discount program the drivers need to look at the NASTC card.

I used Natso Check Link for many years.
It was $30 per year and most Truckstops honored it.
It's a check approval site. Walk in with your check, walk out with your fuel ticket and cash.
No transaction fees or surprises. Many places debit the funds immediately so you've lost the "float".
It's nice, easy, and you feel in control. Cash price always.
I stopped using it when I got a carrier card with good discounts.

I had the Wright Card for a few years.
The gummit uses it a lot, so many places take it.
It wasn't cost efficient. Higher fees.
They call me once a year or so and tell me they've made great improvements. I never listen to the speal as I have no plans of changing cards now.

This might be something, They have master card and fleet maint. also deal with several rental car agencys. Which can be helpful if need quick rental van such as from enterprise and hertz.(for trucks, because they own hertz, The also have a card to direct deposit to comdata, My company has been with them for years,. The M/C charge can only be used for fuel (gas) and nothing else.

So I got my NAFTA/ FLEET ONE fuel card i will be ging back in service next week so I will keep you poste on how well it works and how good the discount really is. I do like the fact that I get a daily e-mail 24 hr notice on whether the fuel price is going up or down and by how much or if its staying the same.
