Big Rig Savings

Review by eFreeware

The pitch behind Big Rig Savings is simple: small carriers should not pay retail while the big fleets negotiate their own deals. The app is built to close that gap by routing owner-operators and small-to-midsized trucking companies into national account pricing with major suppliers. That single idea is the whole product, and it is a narrow one, which is exactly why it is easy to judge.

It is free, there are no ads, and there are no in-app purchases to work around. For a tool that exists to reduce operating costs, that combination matters: nothing about the app itself adds to the expenses it is trying to cut. The developer, crownsource, lists it in the Auto & Vehicles category, and the audience is clearly professional rather than casual.

Fuel is where the savings math starts

Diesel is the line item that eats a trucking budget, and fuel is the first thing the app addresses. The idea is that a one-truck operation gets access to the same national account pricing that a large carrier uses, rather than whatever the pump sign says. Over a full year of long-haul miles, even a modest per-gallon difference compounds into real money, which is the argument the developer is making.

What appeals to me here is the leverage. A single owner-operator has almost no bargaining power with a national fuel supplier; a program that pools small carriers under one pricing structure changes that conversation. I would expect this to suit drivers who already track their cost per mile and know what they are paying now, because that is the only way to tell whether the pricing is actually helping.

Tires and maintenance round out the picture

Fuel is not the only category. The app also covers tires and maintenance, two expenses that hit hard and arrive without much warning. A set of drive tires or an unexpected repair can wipe out a good week, so having pre-negotiated pricing on both is a meaningful part of the offer for a small fleet.

The developer describes the scope as fuel, tires, maintenance and more, so the catalog of suppliers is broader than those three categories. For a company running several trucks, the maintenance side may matter as much as fuel, since downtime and parts pricing are harder to predict. Fleets that plan their service intervals around a fixed budget would get the most out of this part of the app.

What you need before the savings apply

This is not an app you open and immediately save money with. The app centers on national account pricing with major suppliers, so its value depends on being enrolled in those programs and using them when you buy. The app is the access point, not the discount itself.

I would treat the first job as making sure your business is properly registered for the accounts you intend to use.

It is free to install and carries an Everyone content rating, so there is no cost barrier to trying it and seeing whether the supplier pricing fits how you already buy.

A fit for small carriers, not casual drivers

The app is built for owner-operators and small-to-midsized trucking companies. If you run one truck or a handful, you are the target. The savings are framed as letting smaller operations buy on the same terms as large fleets, which is the specific problem it solves.

A driver who does not own the equipment or pay for fuel, tires and repairs would have little use for it, since the expenses it targets are not theirs. The same goes for anyone buying fuel occasionally rather than as a core operating cost. The app is a business tool for people whose livelihood depends on per-mile costs, and it makes no attempt to be anything else.

The install base sits at over 10,000 with a 3.7 average from 23 ratings, a small sample that suggests an early-stage product still finding its audience. That is worth weighing if you like to see a long track record before committing your purchasing to a platform.

A practical tool for owner-operators chasing fleet pricing

Big Rig Savings does one job: it puts national account pricing from major suppliers in front of small carriers who would otherwise pay retail. It is free, ad-free and free of in-app purchases, and it targets fuel, tires, maintenance and more. For an owner-operator or a small fleet already spending heavily in those categories, the potential return is straightforward.

I would suggest it to drivers who know their current costs and want a way to compare them against negotiated pricing. If your business does not carry fuel, tire and maintenance expenses, the app has nothing to offer you. Released in July 2023 and updated in September 2026, it is a young product with a modest but real user base, and worth a look for anyone running trucks on their own dime.
