fuel card News Updates

C.H. Robinson Worldwide announced it is offering free discount fuel cards and free cash advances for fuel to help counter rising costs on its carrier network.

While operating in a soft freight market that has been squeezing margins, carriers of all sizes have been relying on fuel cards for savings at the pump and tighter control over fuel spending.

Wex is teaming up with Trucker Path to give Wex Electronic Funds Source customers discounted access to a truck-safe navigation app designed to make fleet operations safer and more efficient.

Expanded integration is expected to produce a centralization of fuel, maintenance and telematics data across both companies' systems through two products.

Cost savings and conveniences offered through fuel cards are spurring an increase in partnerships among card issuers, truck-stop chains and other industry players as competition heats up in the fuel-discount arena.
