Newbie question

I pay tolls not covered by ipass and get reimbursed. Used to pay for scale tickets when I had to use a truckstop scale and get reimbursed until I found out a few weeks ago I can just use my comdata card to pay for them. I get paid by direct deposit. I can't imagine working for a company that puts your paycheck on your fuel card. It seems like an incredibly stupid way to pay someone, not to mention a hassle to get your money to your checking account.

 

I was setting up a new bank account when I hired on with Swift and didn't get the new account set up in time for my first paycheck direct deposit. I ended up getting that first paycheck on the Comdata card because that is their default if you haven't set up direct deposit to a bank account or insist on getting a check mailed home. It was a HASSLE to get my money and expensive.

 

Pay three bucks get aa prepaid debit card the PayPal one is 5000$ deposit limit so no worries. Also a app for your phone tells you your transactions so no cheating stealing ect.

 

I've been using a 'Bluebird' American Express debit card. No credit check...No fee direct deposit, add cash for free at any walmart, also can use at ATMs, free bill pay. You can also link bluebird accounts so you can send money home easily. You can also have sub accounts for vacation funds or whatever... Has a great smart phone app where you can scan in a check to deposit too

I use greendot for bills

 

I have prepass for scales and tolls. Have not hit one toll yet that is not covered.

Scales I pay out of pocket but get reimbursed each week.
