FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Clear answers about JobbersWorld|PRO and founding registration.
When does JobbersWorld|PRO launch, and when does the founding offer close?
JobbersWorld|PRO officially launches November 15, 2026. Free founding individual registration closes November 15, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Registration reserves eligibility for the founding individual price; it does not activate a paid subscription or provide subscriber-only access. Previously enrolled trial members retain access through their individual trial expiration dates.
Is JobbersWorld|PRO replacing the free JobbersWorld newsletter?
No. The free JobbersWorld newsletter will continue. JobbersWorld|PRO is a premium intelligence layer for subscribers who need deeper analysis, data, and market interpretation.
What does JobbersWorld|PRO include?
JobbersWorld|PRO is built around three core areas: Market Intelligence, Pricing Intelligence, and Decision Tools. Subscribers receive deeper reports and outlooks, proprietary pricing indicators and benchmarks, and access to a growing library of practical lubricant-industry decision-support tools. Specific features and publication frequency may evolve as the service develops.
What are JobbersWorld|PRO Decision Tools?
Decision Tools are practical calculators and screening tools designed to help lubricant-industry professionals evaluate pricing, profitability, supply risk, reformulation, product positioning, portfolio strategy, and operational questions. They are intended for planning and screening purposes and do not replace technical, laboratory, regulatory, legal, or commercial review.
Will new Decision Tools be added?
Yes. The tool library is intended to expand over time based on market developments, recurring industry needs, and subscriber feedback.
How often are the pricing tools updated?
The Retail Lubricant Price Monitor is expected to be updated quarterly, with additional updates when significant market developments warrant. The JobbersWorld Lubricant Price Index (JLPI) is planned for quarterly publication once its methodology and component coverage are finalized.
How do I qualify for founding individual pricing?
Complete free founding registration by November 15, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Qualifying registration reserves eligibility to purchase an individual subscription at $495/year rather than the regular $695/year. Qualifying founding subscribers retain the $495 annual rate during their first 24 months as paid subscribers. Existing founding-trial participants are included and do not need to register again to preserve their eligibility. The offer applies to individual subscriptions, not company or enterprise plans.
What happens after I complete founding registration?
We will email instructions for purchasing an annual subscription when paid enrollment opens. Registration itself is free and does not provide access to subscriber-only content. You must separately choose to purchase a subscription before paid access begins. No payment is collected or paid subscription activated automatically.
Do I need to pay before the November 15 deadline?
No. Free founding registration by the deadline reserves eligibility for the individual founding rate; it does not create a paid subscription. No payment information is required at registration. We will send purchase instructions when paid enrollment opens, and you can decide whether to purchase.
What if I already have a 30-day founding trial?
You do not need to register again. Existing trial members retain their current access through their individual trial expiration dates and remain eligible for the founding individual offer. We will email qualifying members instructions for paid enrollment. No charge or automatic paid enrollment will occur at the end of a trial.
Will paid subscriptions renew automatically?
No. Paid individual subscriptions are annual purchases without automatic renewal or automatic charges. We will provide the purchase terms when paid enrollment opens.
How often will JobbersWorld|PRO publish?
JobbersWorld|PRO officially launches November 15, 2026. The initial publication target is approximately 2 to 4 premium reports per quarter, plus periodic special alerts, quarterly market outlooks, and the Annual Review & Business Forecast. Publication frequency may vary with market developments and the scope of the service.
Can companies subscribe for multiple users?
Yes. Small Team access covers up to three users, Company access up to ten, and Corporate or Enterprise arrangements can be tailored for larger organizations. Contact us through the company inquiry form to discuss access and billing.
Can we pay by invoice?
Company, Corporate, and Enterprise organizations may request invoice-based access. Submitting an inquiry does not commit you to a purchase. Pricing, access arrangements, and invoicing will be agreed with you before an invoice is issued.
Who publishes JobbersWorld|PRO?
JobbersWorld|PRO is a premium market intelligence product from Petroleum Trends International, Inc., publisher of JobbersWorld.
Is consulting included?
Limited advisory access may be included in selected Company, Corporate, and Enterprise plans. Additional advisory time may be available separately. Individual and Small Team subscriptions do not include advisory time.
