“With the release of the 10-4 by WEX mobile app, we are enabling
independent owner-operators and small companies to save instantly
on their largest expense – fuel,” said Karen Stroup, Chief
Digital Officer at WEX. “Already a trusted partner to an
estimated 19.4 million commercial vehicles globally, we are proud
to expand WEX’s core offerings to this new segment – independent
truckers.”
An estimated 62 percent of small business owners are not
interested in a loan, according to the National Federation of
Independent Businesses, which is why 10-4 by WEX does not require
credit applications or credit checks. Users simply upload the debit
or credit card of their choice and start saving. Built with
industry-leading embedded payments technology, 10-4 by WEX provides
secure transactions at the pump with no transaction fees.
“10-4 by WEX offers instant savings at the pump to independent
owner-operators and other small trucking operations that have,
historically, been left out of the mix,” said Timothy Hampton,
SVP and General Manager of Over-the-Road (OTR) at WEX. “On
average, independent truckers spend approximately $50,000 on diesel
fuel every year – almost a third of their total expenses – which is
why every cent matters.”
Truckers can learn more about using 10-4 by WEX for savings at a
large and growing discount network of U.S.-based truck stops, which
includes AMBEST, Road Ranger, Sapp Bros., Love’s Travel Stops, and
the 7FLEET Diesel Network (Speedway, Stripes, and 7-Eleven), with
additional leading merchants and related discounts expected in the
coming months.
10-4 by WEX is the company's latest offering specifically
tailored to truckers, and joins WEX’s trucking fleet cards and
factoring services to help improve efficiency, cut costs, and get
paid fast. Now, regardless of the size of the operation,
independent owner-operators and enterprise-scale freight companies
alike can turn to WEX for volume discounts and greater transparency
into purchasing and volume performance with WEX’s powerful
analytics tools and mobile apps.
The 10-4 by WEX mobile app is free and available in the Google
Play Store or the App Store.
