i have to say that TSD was about as clever as it gets. by signing us up as drivers in their fleet (which is essentially what they have done), they make their fleet look like it is huge, thus being able to negotiate the fuel discounts that the knights, swifts and other large fleets get. and along the way they make 10 percent on the savings we get. whoever came up with it at TSD should be getting a huge raise or bonus checks.....

so now they get better fuel discounts for their own fleet of trucks, make 10 percent of the savings off us, and have alot more purchasing power in general. all on the up and up. very very clever and works out good for us.

and no one in the food chain has issue for it because it is good for everyone. i am assuming that is why they are soon likely to get better discount deals at the truck stops that are not giving as large of discounts now like flying j.

the rv crowd is huge and i am sure the other truck stop chains will soon give similar discounts as loves is now. i looked on the app to see what the prices were at the different truck stops in kingman az were. so why would i go to flying j with a 5 cent discount when a few miles away i could go to loves and get over 50 cents off per gallon. i suspect soon most of the major truck stops will give us the same discounts as they dont want the rv crowd only going to loves.

will be interesting to watch.
