Fuel and Maintenance
Fuel alone is the largest operating expense for a small trucking and having a superior fuel program like NASTC’s Quality Plus Network (QPN) can be the difference in the success of your operation. As a group NASTC member-companies are purchasing more than 480 million gallons annually and with volume like that we are truly allowing our small trucking companies to purchase at the rate of mega carriers in the United States.
NASTC members on our fuel program are 7 basis points healthier on CSA scores than like-sized members who are not. Drivers love the better quality stops and driver amenities in our network. Driver retention improves.
Quality Plus Network
“I joined NASTC in 2005 right after Hurricane Katrina when fuel had spiked. Our discounts were instantly .20-.50/gallon and it was like nothing I’d ever seen; now years later the program is even better if you can imagine – we are saving thousands a month routinely. The QPN program allows us to fuel at quality facilities like TA/Petro where we can get great food, showers and services while getting competitive fuel pricing, but also allows us to fuel at lower traffic, mom & pop locations when we just need to get in & out. Top that off with the fact that there are virtually no fees, it’s the best program I’ve ever seen.”
