Pilot Travel Centers today announced that effective immediately its nationwide network of travel centers will accept TCH cards.

TCH cards provide one-card convenience for professional drivers to manage fuel, maintenance and cash advance needs. Long haul transportation fleets across the U.S. utilize TCH cards for fuel and fleet-related purchases.

"Because Pilot is dedicated to exceptional customer service, we are expanding our payment options for trucking companies and professional drivers to include TCH cards," said Pilot Flying J President and CEO Jimmy Haslam. "When our customers think of Pilot Flying J, we want them to think of convenience. We're here to serve our loyal fleet customers, and we welcome them to stop in, grab a cup of great Pilot coffee and use their preferred payment method" one stop to refuel, refresh and get back on the road."

"At Big G, we know a thing or two about customer service," said Randy Vernon, president of Big G Express Inc, a Shelbyville, Tenn.-based trucking company. "Pilot's move to accept TCH cards is a great example of meeting customer needs. We're always going the extra mile for our customers, and we appreciate Pilot providing this added convenience for our team."

"This is great news for our team," said Kathy Locklear, the controller at Star Leasing Inc, a Fayetteville, N.C.-based trucking company. "We're excited that we'll be able to use one universal payment card, making it easier on both our drivers and office staff. Using our TCH cards at Pilot is a welcome convenience that will save us time and money."

TCH cards can be used at the fuel pump or in-store at the more than 550 Pilot Flying J locations throughout North America.

"We are enthusiastic that TCH cards are now accepted at Pilot," said TCH President Ted Jones. "Pilot Flying J is a leader in the transportation industry offering over 550 first-class travel center locations across the United States. The addition of the Pilot network gives TCH universal card acceptance which allows our customers to use TCH method of payments at all major truck stops nationwide."
