Beat the Heat: Cool Your Operating Costs with RCPA & Hello Truck Lease
Every summer, we hear the same story from our members: volume is up, mileage is up, and margins are shrinking. The heat doesn't just hit the pavement; it hits the fleet.
That's exactly why RCPA exists. We were built by fleet operators who'd felt that squeeze firsthand, and we were built to do something about it. This summer, we're partnering with Hello Truck Lease to tackle two of the biggest line items weighing on contractors right now: fuel costs and fleet maintenance.
Here's what we're bringing to the table.
Fuel Savings, From the First Swipe
We built the RCPA Fleet Card around a simple conviction: fuel spend should work for you, not against you.
With RCPA, you earn rebates on eligible fuel purchases at participating locations. Those rebates go even further when you stop at Premier fuel stops. And because the card is accepted at participating fuel and tire merchants that accept Mastercard®, your drivers have broad coverage across the country.
What you won't find with RCPA: monthly fees, transaction fees, or sign-up costs. No enrollment fee, no per-card fee, no lost card fee.**
Your account comes with a Savings Dashboard that puts everything in one place, from fuel spend, rebates earned, and estimated savings. So you can track where you stand. That kind of visibility makes it easier to plan, budget, and grow.
And the Member Benefits don't stop at fuel. Through RCPA's alliance partner platform, members access savings on workers' comp insurance, payroll, tires, health coverage, and more. When you join RCPA, you're not just getting a fuel card, you're plugging into a whole ecosystem built around your operation.
Our Partner for Fleet: Hello Truck Lease
Fuel is one side of the equation. The other is what happens when a truck goes down.
We partnered with Hello Truck Lease because they've addressed that problem in a way that actually works for contractors. Their maintenance-inclusive lease program bundles all* repair and maintenance costs into one predictable weekly payment. So a transmission failure or engine trouble doesn't have to crater your week.
They cover it all through a nationwide network of vetted service partners: brakes, oil changes, major mechanical repairs. And there's no down payment** required to get started with their full suite of new, Schedule-B compliant vehicles — Transits, P700s, P1000s, P1200s, and a new diesel Mercedes option.
If your current fleet is costing you sleep, summer is a good time to explore what's possible.
Better Together
We teamed up with Hello Truck Lease because we share the same mission: giving contractors the tools to run leaner, more predictable operations.
Between RCPA's fuel rebates and HTL's maintenance-inclusive leasing, you can convert two of your most unpredictable line items into costs you can actually plan around. Before peak season hits, that's worth a conversation.
