Launching in the second quarter of this year, One20 members will have access to discounts as high as 55 cents per gallon at more than 2,000 participating retailers nationwide.

The program will allow owner-operators and smaller fleets to take advantage of a fuel card program that many larger fleets have access to.

The One20 Fuel Card will have no card fee or account management fee and One20 said it will offer lower in-network fees and higher in-network discounts.

“Fuel costs are a major pain point for drivers, particularly independent owner/operators with razor-thin profit margins,” said Christian Schenk, CEO of One20. “Like all of our membership benefits, the One20 Fuel Program is designed to be the easiest and most rewarding fuel program in the business, helping to fulfill our mission of giving drivers what they want and need to be successful in business.”

One20 is a membership program offering savings and benefits for professional truck drivers. Members join by downloading the One20 MAPS app or by using the One20 F-ELD and get immediate access to unmatched tools, benefits and services.

All One20 members qualify for the One20 Fuel Program with two options. There will be a prepaid option with no credit check, as well as the option to convert to credit upon approval. Members can sign up at www.one20.com/benefits/fuel.

Oneboard Dispatching Software Simplifies and Consolidates Data

UTech Global has launched the Oneboard dispatching software,which is designed to reduce inefficiencies by simplifying and consolidating the large volume of data required by dispatch operations.

Oneboard reduces the time and effort needed to manage dispatching data including juggling multiple load board accounts and emails by arranging them all in one place. UTech exhibited the Oneboard solution at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky.

By streamlining the dispatching process, dispatchers can increase profitability by being able to take on additional loads. According to UTech, its users estimate that Oneboard can add a minimum of three additional loads per week.

Oneboard's subscription-based software features load board consolidation technology that lets users pick and choose their load priorities. In addition, email-parsing technology sorts through the countless load offer emails and seamlessly organize them in an “Available Loads” screen on the Oneboard dashboard.

Oneboard also provides a “hot loads” map, allowing users to see exactly where "hot" loads are located, so they can plan ahead and have them waiting for their drivers.

Based on the personalized needs of the user, Oneboard allows for both internal and external communication through the dashboard's convenient text, email, and phone features. Hands-on software training and dedicated attention from seasoned sales professionals are included.

"In an industry that's flooded with 'me too' software, our team knew we wanted to create something unique and special. There have been too many headaches fleet owners have had to face, but too few solutions that actually solved them,” said Geo Forton, president and CEO at UTech Global.
