"By leveraging its substantial fuel network, Fuel Center helps me compete with larger chains and pass savings along to our customers. This is critical for my business in an incredibly tough fuel market."

I am extremely excited to join this program as it gives us the purchasing power of the big boys. We can rely on FuelQuest's expertise to shift loads and enable us to purchase the right quantities at the right time," said Rob Horton, general manager of the Palace Truck Stop & Casino.
