For decades, negotiated national rates on fuel, lodging, and other major fleet costs have belonged to the country’s largest carriers. The volume needed to command real discounts has been out of reach for most mid-market operators.
On September 23, PCS Software launched PCS Advantage™ to change that. It’s an exclusive benefit program that pools the purchasing power of the entire PCS customer community and uses that scale to negotiate on every customer’s behalf. The result is pricing and partnerships that individual small and mid-sized carriers couldn’t access on their own.
“Small and mid-sized carriers have always had to play the game on an uneven field. Through our platform, we’ve helped them run their operations like the majors. PCS Advantage takes that further — by pooling the buying power of our entire customer community, we’re unlocking programs that were never available to them before. Now the collective becomes the advantage.”
— Mark Hill, CEO, PCS Software
Three benefits, live now
PCS Fuel Savings Advantage gives enrolled customers negotiated diesel pricing at thousands of locations nationwide. For most fleets, the per-gallon savings potential is significant.
PCS Lodging & Travel Advantage provides pre-negotiated hotel rates at a substantial discount to retail, through a national network covering hundreds of thousands of properties. Direct billing means drivers don’t have to put work lodging on personal cards. Fleets use it for orientation stays, 34-hour resets, holiday layovers, and breakdowns. Getting a driver out of the cab and into a real room is a small thing that matters to the people you’re trying to keep.
PCS Recruiting Advantage connects carriers with a dedicated lead generation service for CDL-A drivers and diesel technicians. Campaigns are built around where drivers actually spend their time online, and applicants come straight into your hiring pipeline at a fraction of the industry average cost-per-hire. PCS customers get a significant discount on their first month, with no setup fees.
What it looks like in practice
- A 25-truck fleet with no over-the-road fuel program had $13,000+ in annual savings identified after a program review.
- A fleet running four separate fuel card programs consolidated into one: a single bill, better visibility, and an estimated $48,000+ in annual savings.
- A carrier went from first conversation to a signed recruiting agreement in seven days, with its campaign live 11 days after intake.
- A fleet whose drivers were booking their own hotels now runs lodging through one centralized, direct-billed process, with no driver credit cards and full dispatch visibility.
Savings figures are estimates identified during program review. Results vary by fleet, routes, and fueling patterns.
Vetted, not just discounted
Fuel cards, hotel platforms, and recruiting services are crowded categories, and not every provider in them is worth your trust. PCS evaluated its partners on your behalf, so the programs inside PCS Advantage are ones we stand behind, built for trucking and negotiated for PCS customers only.
