    Carrier surcharge for using fleet fuel card?

    Most large carriers have a specific age limit for vehicles being leased. I believe 10 years or newer is common. That means if your vehicle meets their age criteria they will lease you on. If not, then forget it. To say you can lease with us but because of your vehicle age, you won't get many...

    Most of us are business owners and 24/7 is part of owning a business. If you want to work Monday-Friday, 9 to 5, get a real job and be an employee. Steady wages, regular hours, insurance etc.
