Major Fleet Fuel Company TCS & APEX down
Im an independent owner operator and yesterday my fuel app wasnt working. I checked the website. Also down. i called and after hours on hold someone just said it should be back shortly. That was yesterday and its still down. They emailed me today with a mass blanket statement that they are experiencing a Major unplanned outage and will update everyone when its back online.

They told me they cant add or modify any accounts at this time. That means any large fleet down to the solo owner operator like me cant add money to the fuel card.

Scariest part is these cards are attached to bank accounts.

Cant find anything online about it. It is surely affecting a large amount of people.

So you add money to the card like a giftcard?
Can you not just use a debit or credit card?

You can but the point of the fuel card is to save you money per gallon. Sometimes its 40cents a gallon sometimes its 1.05 a gllon off. That adds up very very fast when you put 150 gallons or more at a time.

Fuel is expensive enough without having to pay the price on the sign.

The parr im worried about more is that if the were hacked then they could have accessed the fuel accouts of a large percentage of the truckers and fleet drivers.

I add abou 1500$ a week on mine and i usually only run about 2k miles a week at most.

I just checked the websites for TCS and Apex, they seemed fine from the looks of it.

I use GasBuddy.com for the same purpose. I get on average $0.39 a gallon off. I have never got $1.00 off a gallon yet but the Shell station by me is pretty much ways $0.39 a gallon off.

For a free app in the Android store how can you go wrong? They mail you a free fleet card and you pay using the card (on WEX network). They deduct the difference between the discounted price and the pump price and only draft your checking account for the discounted amount. I have been using it now for 2 years and love it.

Perhaps open another card in the meantime

open road
so far the biggest drawback is that they have a 200 gallon/$1k a day limit.

Re: Major Fleet Fuel Company TCS & APEX down
It's not quite as simple to just open another account. Most if the fleet card companies require a bond of several thousand dollars per unit. This is in case the owner skips out after business failure, or in the case of the number companies(or their new counterparts those bland groups like Apple trucking, or bridge transport) where they don't do maintenance, don't pay bills and skip town after 6 months.
