CloudTrucks Aims To Lower Fuel Costs for Independent Commercial Drivers

Virtual Trucking Carrier Partners with Road Ranger on Fuel Discount Program

CloudTrucks Aims To Lower Fuel Costs for Independent Commercial Drivers

CloudTrucks, a technology-driven trucking carrier, today announced the official rollout of a fuel discount program in partnership with Road Ranger, an Illinois-based chain of travel centers, truck stops and convenience stores. The new program offers CloudTrucks’ growing network of Owner-Operators a 20-cent discount per gallon at all participating Road Ranger locations across the mid-western United States.

“We recognize the imperativeness of maximizing drivers’ revenue and know that fuel is one of the largest costs associated with owning a trucking business,” said Tobenna Arodiogbu, CEO and Co-Founder, CloudTrucks. “Road Ranger is an incredibly valuable partner for this program and we hope to continue expanding our partnerships to reach the entire country.”


Truck drivers are encouraged to use CloudTruck’s CT Cash, a free instant pay and cash card developed in collaboration with Visa, to purchase fuel at a partner location. Upon purchasing fuel at the retail price, drivers can see the discount applied immediately on the user’s CT Cash balance.

“With all the challenges and associated costs that truck drivers face on the road, we are eager to collaborate with CloudTrucks on the fuel discount program,” said Ryan Arnold, VP of Marketing, Road Ranger. “Over 20 percent of drivers’ costs are fuel-related, and we, ultimately, want this partnership to put more money back in the pockets of these hardworking drivers.”

The data collected from the fuel discount program will assist CloudTrucks in better understanding the overall cost structure and enable tailored reporting and recommendations for its drivers. From the program’s initial beta period in June 2021, CloudTrucks has seen nearly double of monthly CT Cash transactions at Road Ranger locations and a substantial increase in total dollars spent with the carrier’s instant pay and cash card.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs.
