Road Freight NSW Members Gain Access to Shell Card Terminal Gate Pricing

Road Freight NSW has announced an exclusive new partnership with Shell Card, delivering fuel savings normally reserved for big business and bulk deliveries.

For the first time in an industry association, members can now access Terminal Gate Pricing (TGP) at key truck stops across New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. TGP is the benchmark price used for bulk fuel deliveries, and now transport businesses of all sizes can benefit from the same competitive rates.

“This is a game-changing offer that puts our members on equal footing with the largest operators,” said Road Freight NSW Chairman, Austin Vella. “Fuel is one of the biggest costs in our industry, and savings like these make a real difference to business sustainability.”

Competitive savings on main freight routes

The deal is targeted at operators travelling the state’s busiest freight corridors, including Sydney Metro, the Hume Highway, Newcastle, Wollongong, and Brisbane routes. Members will see average savings in excess of 20 cents per litre compared to pump prices at participating truck stops.

For fleets that operate nationally, the offer also provides:

• 9.5c per litre discount at Shell’s 260+ truck stops across Australia
• 6c per litre discount at over 1,500 non-truck stop sites
• Zero card fees for Road Freight NSW members, regardless of fleet size

Rewards for business owners and drivers

Beyond fuel discounts, members benefit from a range of extras:

• Flybuys points can be earned at both business and driver levels, meaning the company and individual drivers both gain rewards from the same litre of fuel.
• American Express rewards integration, allowing points to transfer to Qantas or Velocity programs.
• Free coffee for members at designated truck stops.
• 20% discount on lubricants, oils and greases via Viva Energy’s online store.

Supporting every operator

Ricky Webb, National Sales Manager for Shell Card, said the offer was designed in collaboration with transport operators and tailored specifically for Road Freight NSW members.

“Whether you run one truck or a national fleet, this partnership delivers immediate cost savings and tangible rewards,” Webb said. “It’s about helping operators put more money back into their business today, not just in the long term.”

With fuel costs continuing to weigh heavily on operators, this initiative is set to deliver real value for members across the industry.
