Diesel

[dtcerrato]

This is the 1st time I have used the TSD fuel disvount card
82 gal of diesel at 3.86 = $316.57 - disc of $51 = $265

so not to bad for nothin other that signing up for it

thats .62 off a gal.    3.86 - .62 = 3.24 a gal.

but I hear that loves discount is not 2 good but I will let u know

Please do follow up on your success with TSD. I have been contemplating on signing up for it as we may be able to get substantial savings on a 12 thousand mile AK round trip! Do you know if TSD works in Canada?
Safe travels.

Costs nothing to sign up. Works well IF (and only IF) you fuel at the places where they have a negotiated discount. They have a good app which will help you find the lowest cost fuel on your route.

Choose a Canadian fuel company, and get a commercial card. Contract prices/discounts are vertically integrated up here. You have to have "their" card, in the right places, there's no universal cards like in the US.

You're a one truck operator, ask 'em what the contract price will be, and pick one.

Happy coaching!

Given that there are people here on all sides of these issues, is there any chance we can have these conversations without inserting politics?

the fuel stop was jane lew truck stop in WV on I 79 . we haved stopped there for years as it is easy to get in and out + it is off the hwy only by a bit . I fill up NB and SB 1st fill up from home and last fill going home

the other good thing about the fuel card is u can pay at the pumps then go in and u pick up your receipt . not the $75 per pump crap and then again and again 2 fill up
it took 2 days b4 I new how much the fuel card charged me from my checking acc. to see how much I saved

Not when the topic is "Diesel". The only thing anyone can agree on is it is a fuel that makes cars go and fills the Earth with plastic waste unless you don't believe in science, another hotly debated topic these days. Other than that, it is jus politics - sorry.

I was addressing a comment made which didn't address the diesel issue, but rather was seemingly just a comment made against a particular person. If any of us want to debate politicians themselves we've got lots of other forums - like Facebook or Twitter.

Like many others I come to the bus forums to discuss things related to buses and to get away from political attacks. I don't personally care which side of that argument people here hold, just that it's not why I'm on BCM.

It's possible to debate diesel prices all day long without it devolving into a conversation where we're just bashing politicians.

Maybe we need an additional subforum 'Bus Politics' where politics can freely overlap and keep the main 'Bus Topics' clean of it, otherwise you're gonna keep having certain people saying "Fuck Joe Biden" in poorly disguised codewords while people like me point out that gas and diesel prices are primarily influenced by OPEC, a non-American cartel, so American politics don't really factor in very heavily.

Now do you really feel like that's fair to Brandon?

There is a place on BCM for off topic conversations... It labeled Off Topic, and there's even a space for political and controversial topics.

Richard you will have to explain to some of us how diesel fuel prices have nothing to do with politic's? And how one president about a year and half ago I paid $1.99 for diesel and with president Brandon right now is running $3.69 to $3.98 in my area of Wisconsin. Also we didn't need opec with a certain president now we do why? How about those Canadian truck drivers 

[luvrbus]

Politics have always paid a role in our energy and it always will no matter who is heading up the show,I worked in that field for 20 years dealing with politics to get drilling permits back then a day rig cost us $10.000.00 a day now you are looking at 100 grand a day. We have to many groups with political power called "MONEY"  today

Gas prices have been high during both Democratic and Republican administrations. Remember that national average prices hit their record high under Bush with gas at just over $4.10 and diesel going for $4.67 per gallon. I'm not trying to blame Bush for that problem, and I don't think that he had any more control than Biden does now - these things are subject to worldwide market factors and it's just too easy to blame one person for the problem.

To me it's not the political part of the conversation itself, it's when it gets into name calling and derogatory comments. Not pointing the fingers at you directly, but this is the kind of thing that makes bus nuts turn on one another rather than focus on what we share. I get it that not everyone agrees with whoever is in office, but I also fully understand that there are reasons certain topics are generally avoided on forums like this outside of the areas marked off for it.

Lots of people voted for both of the candidates in the last election, and when name calling starts lots of those people are going to be upset. Doesn't matter to me which side it is, and I felt the same when people were doing this in the other direction during the previous administration. There are ways to have conversations about things like this while avoiding hot-button issues and making comments which are either designed to tick people off or likely to do so.

It seems to me that there is enough bus-related stuff for us to argue about that we could leave the political dealings to places like Facebook.
