How Do You Save More on Fuel Costs?

Client Image

Diesel fuel prices are on the rise. That’s the reality. If you look at the most recent numbers from the U.S. Energy and Information Administration, the price of a gallon of diesel is anywhere from $4.10 in February 2022 to $5.25 or more in March 2022, depending on the region, and in every case, there was a spike from the week prior and the year before that.

For you, the independent trucker and trucking company, that means it’s time to be an extra thrifty shopper. Think of yourself as a tech smart coupon clipper keeping frequent tabs on sales at your local department store. When fuel makes up so much of your expenses, you watch those diesel numbers every day.

Save on fuel at in-network locations

Get Cost Plus Pricing

Cost Plus is the cost of a diesel gallon (with taxes and freight costs to transport the fuel from rack to truck stop) plus a pumping fee. Think of cost plus as the price the truck stop is paying for each diesel gallon, then add a few cents. Say the cost price is $2.65 and the plus is 5 cents, you pay $2.70 per gallon.

Save an Average of 46* cents per Gallon

You read that right. Currently Apex clients can save an average of 46* cents per gallon of diesel fuel. That’s huge! The savings add up fast and there’s always an in-network location near you. *Average savings of 46-cents per gallon is based on actual in-network TCS client transactions for Q4 of 2021.
