Relay Payments Expands Digital Payments into Truck Service, Repair & Maintenance with Southern Tire Mart at Pilot, Boss Truck Shops, and AMBEST

Fleets and drivers can now access discounted repair services at an expanding network of nationwide merchants accepting Relay's digital payments for over-the-road expenses 

ATLANTA, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Relay Payments, the leading digital payments provider in the trucking and logistics industries, is broadening its offerings to cover another essential category of over-the-road expenses for its 400k+ drivers and 100k+ carriers. Through new partnerships with Southern Tire Mart at Pilot (STMP), Boss Truck Shops, and AMBEST Service Centers, Relay customers can now pay with Relay at service and repair locations across the US. This expansion allows fleets and drivers to leverage Relay's platform for not only fuel, lumpers, and scales, but also for essential service, repair, tow, and preventive maintenance. By consolidating these needs, Relay enhances cost savings and simplifies expense management on the road.

"No fleet or driver enjoys maintenance stops, so making the process simpler and more affordable is a game-changer," said Jake England, Director, Boss Truck Shops. "We're excited to bring our industry-leading service and technical expertise to Relay's customers, provide them industry leading discounts, and help them get back on the road quickly."

With Relay's mobile app, customers can easily locate Service Centers along their routes. The platform's integration with these partners' extensive truck service networks provides drivers with access to high-quality service, wherever they are. Paying with Relay not only makes the payment process seamless with any pre-negotiated discounts carriers may have, but also unlocks new cost savings and an elevated driver experience.

"We integrated with Relay last year to simplify service payments and combat fraud, and it's been an overwhelmingly positive experience for our customers," said John Boynton, President, STMP. "We're thrilled to expand this partnership and deliver even more value by offering a reliable, streamlined payment solution for maintenance and repair services."     

"At AMBEST, we are always looking for ways to support drivers and fleets with quality service and convenience, as well as our Members with added value and support" said Chuck Ryan, CEO, AMBEST. "Partnering with Relay means giving our Members and their customers a seamless and secure way to handle service payments while unlocking cost savings. Utilizing Relay streamlines the repair and maintenance process, helping drivers get back on the road faster and more efficiently."

"Launching Service, Maintenance, and Repairs is a major milestone towards our mission of becoming an end-to-end payment network for the trucking industry," added Ryan Droege, Relay co-founder and CEO. "By introducing acceptance of Relay at service locations along with discounted repairs, we're not only lowering operating costs for our customers but also creating greater efficiencies by consolidating all over-the-road expenses in one platform."

Relay Payments introduced its digital payment solution in 2019 to replace outdated methods like cash, fleet checks, and fleet cards. Since then, the platform has become indispensable to fleets, delivering time and cost efficiencies across supply chains. Relay's network has expanded to support secure and fast payments for fuel, unloading, scales, repairs, and more at locations nationwide. Trusted by over 400k+ drivers, 100k+ carriers, and 2,200+ truck stops, Relay Payments continues to reshape how trucking businesses manage payments.
