East Coast drivers with a smartphone that they can download the free app
to have access to information on fuel and service stations that are in
operation at their fingertips,” said Peggy Watson, vice president of

this innovation to benefit our fleet customers’ bottom line by allowing
their drivers to search for and quickly locate their preferred fuel and
service stations, which saves time and money. Since then, we’ve seen WEX
Connect become a critical resource for all drivers during natural
disasters and for everyday use.”
