Convenience-store chain Maverik has partnered with Relay Payments to offer fleets and commercial truck drivers a digital fuel-purchasing experience.
Relay, which helps drivers get back on the road quickly, is now accepted at 86 Maverik locations, according to a release from the Atlanta-based fintech company.
When paying for diesel with Relay, fleets can use its negotiated discount or retain any pre-negotiated discounts they’ve put in place with Salt Lake City-based Maverik. Additional benefits include Relay’s contactless technology, route planning, controls, transparent fees and access to Relay’s 24/7 U.S.-based customer support, the company said.
- Maverik is No. 21 on CSP’s 2023 Top 202 ranking of convenience store chains by store count.
“Maverik is committed to delivering the best experience to our over-the-road customers on their road trip adventure,” said Kerby Cate, director of commercial fuels marketing at Maverik. “Teaming up with Relay allows our current commercial customers to take advantage of its digital and convenient product, while also inviting Relay’s driver network, who may be new to Maverik, to enjoy our best-in-class locations and save at the pump.”
Relay introduced its digital payment solution in 2019 to eliminate long delays that forced drivers to wait hours for payment approvals and authorizations at warehouses, the company said. Today, it’s used by more than 350,000 drivers, 90,000 carriers and 1,500 truck stops.
“We continue to rapidly expand our diesel fuel solution, bringing our digital payments to more truck stops and convenience stores throughout the country,” Relay’s CEO Ryan Droege said. “This partnership gives our drivers additional options to seamlessly pay at the pump no matter their route. We're especially excited to partner with a brand like Maverik since they prioritize service and the truck driver customer experience in the same way we do.”
