When does training pay start???

Comdata card is issued to you in orientation, its a card that is used to fuel with and pay for scales with. It has two sides to it, it has the corporate side than a personal side. Obviously the corporate side is used to pay for authorized purchases ie fuel and scales. The personal side you can put your pay onto, they also put some bonuses on it as well. It can't be used like a credit card though and there is a fee to it. I don't use it so someone else might be able to explain it better. I know there is a way to withdraw it all at one time as cash to avoid paying multiple fees. I believe you use a com check to do that.

 

yeah you can get your cash from your comdata card by using a com check. the only problem with that is even if you fuel up (which makes it free to cash a com check) most places will only cash up to $300 for the free amount. Then it is a percentage like 3% or more charged on the rest. I have direct deposit but like truck it said they put some of the bonuses on the card (which makes no sense to me) so i always keep some com checks in my truck.

 

I just write a comcheck to myself for the bonuses and put it in my bank for free.

 

You can use it at Walmart like a debit card and can withdrawal from some ATMs.

 

Thanks for that info, I didn't know it could be used at Walmart like that!

 

actually there are quite a few walmarts that do not use comdata cards. I found that out the hard way.

 

I have a hard time finding ATM machines that will accept it but every Walmart I've used it in works. Works in their ATM machines too. Maybe it's just in the south.

 

yeah i forget where we were but when i was with my trainer we stopped at a walmart to buy food and his card didnt work so he paid with his bank card. and mine didnt work so i didnt buy anything. it was my only money at the time.
