Comdata fees

Atm was $5 the other day in Arkansas.

 

Maybe Landstar paid something for us. I don't ever remember paying a fee or seeing any fee on my fuel statements. I thought it was because we prepaid the fuel card. Just the $1.50 Landstar charged us to load money on our fuel card

 

Was Comdata the first truck fuel card or last surviving of the first truck fuel cards? Their high fees seem like another business with the "I used to be huge, now I'm just a pain in the ##*" despite having competition.

 

That's how I remember it, no fee for Comdata other then loading the card for $1.50. I think some trucking company probably add their own fee for using their Comdata cards plus Comdata might have different free like you said for different trucking companies depending on what they signed up for.

 

I use their OnRoad app, which is a pretty good app I have to admit, but started clicking on individual transactions out of boredom one day and started to get annoyed with the fees. Sometimes I can buy fuel with no fee and sometimes it hits me with it. The infuriating part is if you call their customer service, nobody can explain the rhyme or reason to it, nor can anybody at the company. I literally have no reason to use the card except to receive payments from my company and transfer it to my personal account once a month. I pay pump price for fuel anyway except for a measly $.10/gal discount at Loves and their Bio blend fuel doesn't run very well in my truck so I avoid that place anyway.

 

My company uses Comdata Fleet Advance. It maybe just the app or part of the discount program they get. It looks like same discounts I got at Landstar. Petro/TA we paid same price as truck stop at the rack/fuel terminal. Then we paid like 3 or 4 cents per gallon extra per gallon as pumping fee. The discount was so big the pumping fee per gallon was much better then the cash price. Love's is $2.80 and Flying J is $2.85 today without a pumping fee. Petro is $2.74 and the cash price is $3.39 in PA
