    So I stopped at a handful of truck stops today because I’m out of comdata checks. No one has them!

    when I got to loves tonight I told the lady of my problem and she says that everyone just uses express codes now so no one carries the checks!

    my company owes me money and they want me to do a comdata check...but how can I do this when no one has checks!

    can't you get direct deposits?

    then use an ATM card?

    Either wait on a check, or give that express code to a fuel desk clerk and they can run a check electronically.

    American banks should have some on hand at least the top 13 charter FDIC banks. They accept them where i live from time to time.

    You can also visit a trucking company and ask if they had a handful of old paper comchecks in the drivers room to spare.

    My regular pay is direct deposit, sometimes with smaller chunks of cash for reimbursements they prefer to do comchecks

    Generally yes. Everything is electronic. One of my hobby stores occasionaly takes my card information and punches it in manually over the phone.

    Give them the express code and the amount and they can cash it. If it's not to much.
