Harrisburg, PA — Sheetz announced a 25‑cent‑per‑gallon discount on truck diesel for the remainder of March, available to drivers who swipe a My Sheetz Rewardz card at any of the chain’s truck‑stop pumps.
The reduction arrives as fuel expenses continue to dominate operating costs for OTR truck drivers and owner‑operators. With diesel prices hovering near historic highs, a quarter‑dollar saving per gallon can shave several hundred dollars off a typical cross‑country haul. Trucking companies hiring now are watching every cost lever, and a predictable discount helps balance budgets against FMCSA regulations that limit hours of service.
The promotion runs from Wednesday, March 6, through Sunday, March 31, 2026. There is no cap on the number of gallons a driver can purchase at the reduced rate, but the discount applies solely to truck diesel; diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and other fuel grades remain full price. Sheetz operates 43 truck‑stop locations across the Mid‑Atlantic, and each site accepts the My Sheetz Rewardz card without additional paperwork.
What This Means for Drivers
CDL‑A drivers who regularly refuel at Sheetz can expect a direct hit to their fuel bill, translating into lower per‑mile costs on long hauls. Owner‑operators who own their rigs will see the savings compound over multiple trips, especially on routes that pass through Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia where Sheetz locations cluster. Fleet managers can route trucks to participating sites without worrying about mileage caps, and the discount stacks with any existing loyalty programs that drivers already use.
Industry Reaction
While Sheetz has not quoted carrier spokespeople, the broader industry views the move as a welcome counterbalance to recent price spikes. Freight brokers and trucking companies hiring now have highlighted fuel‑cost mitigation as a key factor in driver retention. Competing convenience chains have begun teasing similar offers, underscoring a growing trend where fuel discounts become a recruiting tool for trucking companies hiring OTR truck driver talent.
