    If I may.. don't put any of your payroll on the comdata card.. you'll be charged $5 per withdrawl not to mention the atm fees you get charged, usually 1.50 - 2.50 per usuage.
    so you want 20 bucks, gonna cost you 27.50..

    Once you get coded, takes 24hrs, sometimes less, and you can hit a kiosk at any terminal and have payroll direct deposited into your account, split into different accounts, etc..
    do not put $ on comdata unless its an emergency.

    Now when your buying fluids, def fuel, or something for the truck that's required, go in and ask cashier for exact amount of said item, with tax. Then submit that amount to be put on comdata card, then register a comcheck. But your mentors should have shown you this, or will...

    This gig has changed a bit since the 80's. The tech stuff is what I need to learn to get back in.

    Yea I'm doing direct deposit to my bank account. No need to pull money out of the com data. Hopefully he or she will show me everything. We should get mentors tomorrow. If all goes right.

    Holy Canolie, Batman!!! He doesn't know Mama Swift!!!!:biggrin_25526:

    She's a living legend at Swift and TTR!!:biggrin_25514: Otherwise known as "Injun"".

    But She's on "Vacation" right now, soooo..... Good Luck.

    Otter may be of some assistance, he was a Looooong time Swiftie Trainer. But doesn't work there anymore.


    Mama Swift has come to the aide of many a Swiftie recruit that fell into the hands of one of those Really Evil trainers that lurk out there in Swiftyland. Pray you don't get one!!:biggrin_2553:
