Companies Launch Uber Freight Fuel Card,
Powered by Comdata
FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FLT), a leading global
provider of commercial payment solutions, today announced a
partnership with Uber Freight, as part of Uber Freight’s new Uber
Freight Plus program, that provides eligible Uber Freight app users
discounts and savings on fuel, maintenance, and tires. The Uber
Freight Fuel Card is powered by Comdata, a FLEETCOR company and
leader in payment innovation.
“This was a natural fit for us as both companies are aligned to
help trucking companies, big and small, run and grow their
businesses,” said Greg Secord, President of North America Trucking
at Comdata. “We are delighted Uber Freight has chosen Comdata as
their fuel card partner of choice and look forward to working
closely together.”
Uber Freight provides a free, easy-to-use app that seamlessly
connects trucking companies with loads to haul. Uber Freight
selected Comdata to power the Uber Freight Fuel Card because the
company is a trusted provider in the industry and possesses a
unique ability to provide broad network acceptance and administer
discounts for fleets and drivers.
With this prepaid or credit card, active carriers and their
drivers can save on fuel, maintenance and tires, as well as
leverage Comdata’s expertise to provide the compliance services
fleets need to meet IFTA and state permit requirements.
“The Comdata-powered Uber Freight Fuel Card, a key component of
the Uber Freight Plus program, will help trucking companies of all
sizes save big on key operational costs, like fuel and tires,” said
Bill Driegert, Director of Uber Freight. “We will continue to
collaborate with Comdata to match the growing needs of these
trucking businesses.”
