Buying fuel is a complicated process, and determining the best approach helps truck stop and travel center operators increase profitability while minimizing risks. A self-diagnosed fuel nerd, Randy Grizzle, director, sales & marketing at TACenergy, joined the NATSO Foundation’s podcast to cover best practices in fuel buying that can help travel center owners navigate the complexities of the fuel market.
06-25-2024Rob Poleki, CEO and Co-Founder of Washie, joined the NATSO Foundation’s podcast to discuss his innovative company, which is behind the world’s first smart, sanitizing toilet seat for public restrooms.
NATSO Services annually studies professional drivers’ stopping and buying behavior at truck stops and travel centers. In 2023, the research found that drivers’ top factor in deciding whether to come inside from the fuel island or the parking lot was the cleanliness of restrooms and showers.
Given the impact of cleanliness on a truck stop’s success and that Washie’s booth was causing quite the buzz at NATSO Connect, we knew we needed to have Poleki on the podcast.
