Top-industry savings
Most fuel cards give you pennies back. The TVC Fuel Card delivers top-industry savings of 55¢ per gallon on average. For a typical pro driver, that's $185 back in your pocket every single week.
Takes about 60 seconds. A specialist will confirm your funding option — Credit or Prepaid (no credit check).
Two ways to start saving
Start free with the standalone card, or step up to Pro Plus and unlock higher per-gallon savings and #1-rated CDL legal protection. Same card, available at same major truck stops, two ways in.
Free Standalone Card
50¢/gal average
$0 Per Month
The fuel card on its own. Zero monthly fee.
Tier 2 Discounts
55¢/gal average
$59.95 Per Month
The fuel card bundled with #1-rated CDL legal protection. Higher per-gallon savings, included card, and your tickets defended.
Tier 1 Discounts
Why Pro Plus is usually the math winner. For a typical OTR driver fueling around 250 gallons a week, the extra 5¢ per gallon nearly covers the $59.95 monthly plan — and since the average CDL ticket runs $1,200, a single covered violation makes the bundle pay for itself many times over. Lower-mileage drivers may prefer the free standalone card on pure fuel math.
Do the math
Move the slider to match your typical weekly gallons. We compare the free standalone TVC Fuel Card (avg. 50¢/gal, $0/mo) with the Pro Plus bundle (avg. 55¢/gal, $59.95/mo with CDL legal protection included).
Most OTR drivers fueling around 250 gallons a week hit the break-even point where the extra 5¢/gal covers the Pro Plus plan — and with the average CDL ticket costing $1,200, one covered violation makes the bundle pay for itself many times over.
Net = fuel savings plus the average cost of 1 ticket ($1,200) if you fight it on your own minus $59.95/mo plan cost. Pro Plus also includes #1-rated CDL legal protection.
Estimates only. Actual savings vary by lane, network, and funding option. Standalone uses avg. 50¢/gal; Pro Plus uses 55¢/gal at the pump minus $59.95/mo.

Best value bundle
The TVC Fuel Card is the only fuel card that saves you at the pump and fights your tickets. Add the Pro Plus plan ($59.95/mo) and you get full CDL legal protection, Commercial Benefits, and Driver Rewards in addition to your fuel savings.
The math is simple: your fuel savings nearly cover your membership on their own — and since the average CDL ticket runs $1,200, a single covered violation makes the bundle pay for itself many times over.
Enhanced security
The TVC Fuel Card comes with PIN protection, per-card limits, real-time alerts, and ongoing fraud monitoring — the same enterprise-grade controls used by large fleets, standard on every card.
Every transaction requires the driver's PIN, so a stolen card can't be used at the pump.
Set daily gallon and dollar limits per card to prevent runaway fills or unauthorized spend.
Unusual activity is flagged and routed to the account holder within minutes, not days.
Your account is continuously monitored for suspicious patterns with no extra setup required.
