About TCS Fuel
The TransConnect Services (TCS) Story
The TransConnect Services (TCS) mission is simple: We want to help level the playing field between small to medium-sized trucking companies and the larger fleets. Our aim is for each client, no matter the size of their fleet, to not only enjoy the advantage of exceptional customer service but to also receive the best savings possible. At TCS we are committed to responsive, personal service that makes a difference.
TCS was formed in 2014 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Apex Capital Corp. Apex Capital is a full-service factoring company that has purchased freight invoices from small to medium-sized trucking companies for more than 20 years. Apex started TCS so all trucking companies, whether an Apex client or not, can experience the world-class customer service that is the Apex hallmark.
To that end, the TCS team has worked hard to bring its TCS Fuel Card clients more savings and more flexibility – with huge savings per gallon to zero transaction fees on fuel purchases at all in-network locations. We can customize the TCS Fuel Card to fit your needs and we are constantly improving our TCS Fuel Card technology. Our priority is to always be here to answer any questions – literally with 24/7 customer service. That’s the TCS way.
