For the growing number of truck and bus drivers who use biodiesel but have a hard time finding fueling stations, the National Biodiesel Foundation introduced the first-ever U.S. biodiesel fuel card at the Mid-America Trucking Show.

The BioTrucker Fuel Card highlights the availability of biodiesel by mapping a network of truck stops that carry the fuel.

BioTrucker cardholders - both truckers and fleets - pay cash price on all fuel, with no credit price markup. There is no fuel transaction fee for biodiesel at the 4,900 truck stops and truck accessible locations in-network truck stops. Three truck stops are even offering a biodiesel discount to cardholders.

“The BioTrucker Fuel Card not only helps them find biodiesel, but helps them save money when they purchase biodiesel,” said Tom Verry, executive director of the National Biodiesel Foundation.

Mapping software ProMiles shows biodiesel locations, and routing optimization gets drivers to the next closest biodiesel fuel stop efficiently. Discounts on repairs and tires as well as roadside assistance are available through the card.

In addition to the initial 149 in-network truck stops, the card is accepted at 4,900 truck accessible retail stations across the U.S.

The first three fueling stations to offer a $.02 discount at the pump for BioTrucker Fuel Card holders are Sapp Bros. Travel Centers of Peru, Illinois; Waddy Unocal 76 of Waddy, Kentucky; and Drivers Truck Stop of Fort Worth, Texas.

Truckers and fleets can sign up for the card at http://www.biotrucker.com and find all in-network locations for the BioTrucker Fuel Card and the truck stops that carry biodiesel.
