Discount fuel card and cash advances for fuel will be free in April and May
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–With diesel prices jumping sharply since the start of a new conflict in the Middle East, C.H. Robinson is easing the impact for its network of contract carriers by offering free discount-fuel cards and free cash advances for fuel.
“Fuel is the biggest expense for a carrier, typically running 20% and as much as 28% of the cost of operating a truck,” said Michael Castagnetto, the company’s President of North American Surface Transportation. “With the largest network of carriers in North America, we want to help them get through this unexpected financial strain. Today’s environment is especially challenging for the nearly 60% of carriers that are owner-operators. These small businesses carry a huge amount of the goods that come to everybody’s stores, offices, factories and homes.”
The C.H. Robinson Fuel Card unlocks discounts on fuel at thousands of truck stops across the United States. The card offers big savings: up to $385 in one fill and up to $9,000 a year per truck. Carriers can apply online in minutes, and approval typically takes three to five business days. The application fee will be waived for carriers applying in April and May.
Managing 37 million shipments a year as the global leader in Lean AI supply chains, C.H. Robinson is one of the few logistics providers that also offers a cash advance for carriers to help them cover expenses while they’re still on the road. After picking up a load, carriers can receive up to 60% of their pay. The fee will be waived for advances requested on the C.H. Robinson Fuel Card in April and May.
A cash advance can be requested in seconds on the Navisphere® Carrier app or website. New and existing carriers for C.H. Robinson are eligible. To get the free advance, choose the option of having it loaded on the fuel card.
