Comchek, EFS checks. Do drivers still use them?

Yes.

 

Yepper.

I don't think many use mom and pops though. And I'm guessing most mom and pops aren't set up.

Not around these parts anyways.

 

Not for fuel, but I use them to get cash. Never tried doing it at a mom and pop/local place, only the chains.

 

just for lumpers

 

Last time I had a delivery that used lumpers they didn't even look at check. Asked for approval number, or whatever you call it, punched it into a tablet and gave me a receipt.

 

Cash them at my bank.

 

Stop by a Charter FDIC or Credit Union, you will find a stack of the old time EFS or Comdata checks. Believe it or not my area has a few banks that will do that type of finance transaction to this day.

That really seriously took me back, we used those #### things back in the day. Then learned not to use them when possible. Tolls, Lumpers etc. ugh. I remember cursing the need to have cash money in the hundreds of dollars each week off those things for all that because if the reciepts are not turned in properly accounted for, guess what. Paycheck is 0.00 or negative into my pocket.

 

I have an EFS card that I get cash advances through for US money.

 

yes, every time I get any repair or tire repair on the road. Loves does it very conveniently. You go to the shop and get your repair done. Then you walk to the fuel desk and give them the EFS money code and fill out the check. They call it in to EFS. Then you walk back to the shop with your receipt. And then you drive away. /sarcasm
