Comchek, EFS checks. Do drivers still use them?

If your call comdata or Efs they will mail You checks for free, a whole bunch of em..

 

I knew Loves still takes them. Do you know if TA does as well?

 

All the majors still take them

 

It's interesting you bring this up since just the other day I am wondering why I havent loads for the first time in over seven years that didnt require lumper fees. It was such a hassle getting an efs check to a busy mega warehouse with long lines and I used to do it at least three times a week but it has been months since I had to write one. Not to mention the hassle of proving the efs advance to payroll when they lose or didn't get the receipt.

I hope this is the end of lumper fees for the company I drive for. Simply add the lumper cost to the bills no need for the 1950s method. I ran my own business for over a decade without using any paper if you can believe it. I hope one day the bills will be done electronically. A copy of the bills on my own phone, the carrier, and sent to the receiver will protect against loss or network outage. Once I delivered a load and the shipper left out some bills the receiver needed and they emailed them a copy within two minutes. All we have to do as drivers is pull into a warehouse and already have a door available for us. We then get contacted when to leave and we just drive. No need for the other bs. The technology already exists.

 

I allowed a phone to go out of service for the foreseeable future because no one uses caller id when calling. If i don't know who you are I wont answer. Maybe I can find a app to force this information to come up in addition to just the number because I am not doing something correct. Or Uncle Sam needs to force ID of the caller plus number.

 

Why would a truck driver ask for an extra comcheck or efs check.Why is the EXTRA word even use.Were does the EXTRA comes in.

 

Couple of otr companies i worked for issued comchecks.
Those were used for repairs.
