    Good, I went to hunters today and bought a new drivers air seat for my pete (company paid for seat) and a new arm rest/handle/window seal for my drivers door.

    ###### and I bet you took my cash advance too! No strip club for me tonight. :(

    I can't for the life of me think where it went. I kept it in a notebook with my DL, medical card, mileage log and calculator.
    I guess it fell out when I last fueled. So much for my plan to keep it safe!

    Just a little advice Dl, Credit Cards, Fuel cards, Medical cards, money go in a thing called a wallet. That's what they are made for actually go figure.

    Yeah I know but I kept them separate in case I lose my wallet or god forbid get mugged. That way I can still operate and I just have to call my bank to cancel my credit/debit cards. It happened to me when I drove for Stevens and my wallet dissapeared at the TA on the 285 loop in Atlanta.. Granted like I said it backfired this time but its still a good idea. I just need a more secure pouch.

    I can still fuel with our checks, it will just be a pain in the arse until I get back to EPT in the next couple days.

    Call your company and they can put it on lost card status (comdata) then you can still fuel by knowing the card # and showing a picture ID. Nah I never lost my card that's for amatures! I just leave home without it
