    I see they’ve occasionally (not every time) been charging me a $1.50 fee even When I buy fuel at a truck stop that accepts Comdata. What gives with that? Can’t even buy fuel with my fuel card without a fee? ROFL!

    The little I know. Com data fees are high.
    Talked with a small store with truck pumps. He said Com Data wanted $5k a year just for him to accept it. There was no way he could afford it.

    When I was at Landstar we did not pay to buy fuel on Comdata. We prepaid Comdata card for each trip. We had to pay $1.50 to load the Comdata card with money.

    It depends on who is providing the fuel card. I have a efs card and it’s free in network and $10 out of network.

    use EFS or NASTC. Or your own personal or business CC or debit card if you own your own truck.

    Comdata no good. Bad bad bad

    Our company switched to EFS because of the comdata fees.

    Comdata charges me a $3.50 fee to pull money out of an ATM, plus the ATM fee, unless you use one of the ones they have at Walgreens or CVS. I forget what it’s called but it has the green and yellow logo. But you still pay the Comdata fee.

    Often they charge me $3.50 also to transfer funds to a linked bank account, if I do it too often. Fair enough...I do it once a month and dodge that one.

    They also charge my company $.50 to load funds onto the card.

    But $1.50 fee to buy fuel really burns me. That’s nonsense.
