![]() Reference our article titled How the TSD Fuel Program Works for more info on the savings.Īccording to the Mafollow-up article in titled Good Sam tells Pilot/Flying J to end big diesel discounts to RVers, “(Good) Sam has an exclusive discount program with Pilot/Flying J. Good Sam executives were upset because the discounts handed out freely to anyone that signed up for the TSD Logistics Fuel Program are significantly more than what Good Sam provides to RVers through their “ Pilot Flying J RV Plus Charge Card.” The Good Sam program provides a fixed 5¢/gallon savings for gasoline vehicles and 8¢/gallon savings for diesel.Ĭomparing the 8¢/gal Diesel savings from Good Sam to the 37.6¢/gal we received after fees on a fill-up we reviewed earlier this year, one can certainly understand why no one is happy about the cancellation of the program by Pilot/Flying J. Gasoline RVers were upset that they were not getting the incredible discounts that the Diesel club was receiving and complained loudly. Our understanding is that the article set off a firestorm of emails and calls to the executives at both Pilot/Flying J and Good Sam. The article set off a series of events that ultimately led to the cancelation of the TSD Logistics Fuel program at Pilot/Flying J and it is possible that the entire program could eventually be terminated. A wide release of an article landing on the screens of thousands of RVers that cannot participate in the program was not received well. ![]() There are far more gasoline-powered RVs on the road. This is a link to the article we wrote that explains How the TSD Fuel Program Works.Īt the end of the day, however, the practice of only giving discounts to Diesel RVers is likely the catalyst that killed the program. TSD is driving down their Fleet operating cost by expanding their fleet to the Diesel-powered RVers. The more fuel a business consumes, the higher their discount levels are. All trucking businesses negotiate discount levels with gas station chains based on volumes they will be purchasing from the chain. Fuel is the biggest cost for trucking businesses. Why? The Fuel Program was developed by TSD Logistics who manages a fleet of over the road trucks (OTR). The TSD Fuel Program ONLY works for Diesel vehicles. The reality of the TSD Fuel Program is that not everyone saves money. Unfortunately the article backfired and resulted in Pilot/Flying J eliminating the TSD fuel discount for RVers. The people at RVTravel thought it would be a good idea to amplify the benefits of the fuel savings program letting everyone know about it. released a story to the Associated Press titled “ This diesel fuel savings program is for real” on January 29, 2020. ![]() In case you missed it, here's what happened. If you are not a member, we highly suggest you sign up and start saving while you can. Unfortunately the program has been cancelled by Pilot/Flying J and we are concerned that the program could ultimately end everywhere. The TSD Fuel Saving program has been a lifesaver for many of us driving or pulling our RVs with diesel-powered engines. Pilot/Flying J has cancelled the awesome TSD Fuel Discount program for RVers.
