In case you haven't heard, comcheck changes in 2022.

i'll tell you what, we had them back in my day. they were heavy. if i recall some sort of bakelite material?

and if you managed to rip one from the cord, and smacked someone with it?

it would leave an actual dent in thier heads.

this is the same material the old distributor caps on cars would have had, only thinner. and they cracked fairly easily, letting water inside the cap, and killing the engines.

 

Company I work for still used them for fuel until 2020. Finally got fuel cards then. God, it was so embarrassing getting fuel.

 

Mainly customers/unloading services now have the eComchecks so you really don't need a physical piece of paper. I've had a small stack of the same com checks in my truck for over a decade, just never get used much anymore.

 

A question.... comcheck you actually use a check?
I'm on EFS. Very rarely do they demand an actual check. Usually it's just the numbers they want.

 

Yeah it was a actual check about the size of a business check most truck stops had blank checks behind the fuel desk even so if you fueled up you just walk up to the desk & said I need to pay for the fuel I just got heres my comcheck # most of them would grab a check and fill it out even for you
But you also had to keep track of the balance on that comcheck # you were issued

 

I use them twice a month or more for truck wash.
See lots of drivers using them at Blue Beacons.

 

We carry Comcheks for lumper fees, though these days most places don’t need the actual paper check, they just need the express code and amount. I think I’ve only had to use one actual Comchek in the last year.

 

There are these real cool newfangled gizmos. They are the same size as a credit card and have a magnetic strip on the back. There is a device on the counter that you slide the card through, it reads the information on the magnetic strip, and charges the company for the purchase. This is fairly new technology that came out about 40 years ago! Lol

 

I've heard tell about them ... whats this material you speak of called " Plastic " ??
