Dive Insight:
In addition to Maverik, TCS also works with many of the major retailers such as 7-Eleven, TravelCenters of America, Casey’s General Stores and Kwik Trip. Its fleet and fuel cards are accepted at approximately 2,000 locations in the US
The partnership with Salt Lake City-based Maverik – which operates more than 400 convenience stores as well as more than 400 Kum & Go locations in more than a dozen Midwest and Western states – is an opportunity for TCS to expand its reach into west, the company said in the announcement.
“The Maverik locations are complementary to our existing network and will provide additional options for our customers refueling in the western part of the country,” Chris Courts, president and CEO of TCS, said in the release. “This addition allows us to further our mission at TCS, which is to level the playing field between small and midsize trucking companies and larger fleets.”
Founded in 2014, Cordova, Tennessee-based TCS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of full-service cargo firm Apex Capital Corp.
For Maverik, the TCS partnership marks the third new fuel payment service added since last summer. The retailer has also tapped RV discount and fuel services from trucking technology company TruckSmarter and fleet and fuel cards from truck fleet management company Comdata.
