    You mean TCH?, TCH changed their name and it's now EFS.

    My company used to be with TCH, then Comdata then moves back to TCH/EFS

    All of the major checks one should be able to get at a Truckstop.
    Sometimes they want to be stingy and give only a couple.

    Best to stock up if you're at your yard or whatever.
    I have a enough TChecks to last me for a year.

    Also some customers will charge you $5 to sell you one.
    Better make sure you have enough of whichever checks you need.

    Some hotels even have them! I also know of a truck parts store that has blanks. There is a bank branch of one of the large banks that keeps them at some of their branches near truck stops. Several of the emergency clinics here and there have them as well. My last 2 years on the road I maybe used my own blanks maybe 10 or 20 times. I just took my transaction number in asked for a blank filled it out and gave it back to the lumper.

    Sometimes truck stops will give you one. You can stop at several truck stops until you get home.

    That driver was out in April of 2013. If he has not found blanks by now he is in real bad shape.

    For you stop at any bank. They will recogize the word "Comdata, EFS etc" for you individually.

    The EFS systems are geared towards Carriers, Merchants and those who transfer to and from fuel cards etc.

    That's all I have.

    You probably can pull into a major Carrier or Truckstop and the Fuel Desk should have some for you.
