TA First to Accept New Single Card for All Fleet Classes

Deepens ties with U.S. Bank’s Voyager

MINNEAPOLIS --TravelCenters of America LLC is expanding its relationship with U.S. Bank by accepting a new single Voyager Fleet Card solution at all of its TA and Petro truckstops and Minit Mart convenience stores.

The new fleet card combines the fleet control functionality for heavy-duty commercial rigs at truckstops with the comprehensive data-capture capabilities required by smaller vehicle fleets at retail locations. For the first time, all fleet classes can be managed through one card, one network and one program management platform.

“Partnering with U.S. Bank on the first true single card solution means we can better serve the needs of mixed fleets,” said TravelCenters of America CEO Tom O’Brien. “We have long valued our relationship with U.S. Bank, and this agreement deepens it to a new level. We look forward to issuing the new card to our employee drivers in the coming months, and expect to begin accepting it from customers in 2017.”

John Hardin, general manager of U.S. Bank global transportation solutions, said, “Expanding our partnership in this way brings the efficiencies of a single solution to TravelCenters and to the market at large. They are able to better meet the needs of their fleet, while we solidify our leadership position in the industry with the first fully integrated fuel payment solution to cover all eight fleet classes in a single card.”

The Voyager Network, owned and operated by Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank, includes thousands of participating fueling, maintenance and service locations nationwide.

Westlake, Ohio-based TravelCenters of America operates 253 full-service travel centers in 43 states and Canada, principally under the TA and Petro Stopping Centers travel-center brands. The company also operates more than 200 convenience stores, principally under the Minit Mart brand, in 11 states.
