TruckPark And FuelMe Partnership Takes The Worry Out Of Parking And Fueling

For truckers the pairing of a service where a dispatcher finds and assigns a reserved parking space for them, and also calls up a mobile tanker to fuel them while they rest would be a marriage made in heaven. And that, indeed, is the concept dreamed up by two transportation industry companies that have been individually serving truckers on the road.

Now this is something I'd never use. I don't see a need for it personally. It takes 10 minutes to fuel and I never preplan my stop. I like to get as far down the road as possible each day so stopping early because i reached my reserved spot would irritate me. I won't be investing my money in this companies stock. Am i wrong on this? Maybe but i doubt it.

Mikey, I have to agree with you!

Fuel is one of the biggest expenses that trucking companies are always trying to keep a close eye on. I remember how the big trucking companies I worked for specified where they wanted me to fuel, and preferred that I fuel at a terminal whenever possible. This was all part of their cost controls. There is no way this method of purchasing fuel is going to be less expensive. Fuel is a commodity, and everyone wants it at the cheapest price.

Add on top of that when you have a reserved spot at the local TA truck stop they are not going to allow another fuel vendor to come on their property and fuel your truck. Most truck stops don't even allow you to have a local mechanic come and look at your truck on their property. They want you to use their shop. It just sounds crazy. I feel like I am missing something, but I don't see this going anywhere positive.

This would great if you had lots of extra cash to blow. I don't know any drivers with that problem, though.
