    Anyone able to use the Comdata card for CAT Scales? So far I've been just using my own debit card for the scales on Weigh My Truck app and getting reimbursed on my weekly pay. If we are allowed & able to use Comdata for CAT Scales how do I use it? No one taught me...I was in training 7 years ago and have been doing a bunch of local gigs since then. Now that I'm back at Swift I don't even recall if my trainer back in 2019 taught me...and I highly doubt any Driver Manager would know...this isn't the kind of thing they would know about in my experience.

    What your Comdata card is good for depends on how your company set it up. Someone at your company will know enough to answer your question. Why don't you just try to use it next time you need to weigh a load. It will either work or not but then you will know.

    Yes, comdata works with the cat scale app. When you enter the card number, use ALL the numbers. One bit is swifts account, the other is your identifier.

    The only question is "does swift allow it?", which your fm can answer.

    Your Comdata card SHOULD allow you to pay for:
    • Diesel fuel (away from a company terminal that supplies fuel)
    • DEF (same as above)
    • Scale fees (usually at a Cat scale)
    As suggested above -- your fleet mgr (or whoever gave you your Comdata card, back in the office area) should indeed be able to explain in detail for what you can/can't use it.
