How do you get around their exclusion of ComData?

Marda (Special K) and I use a checking account at the TAB -- Transport Alliance Bank -- the banking subsidiary of the Flying J -- linked to a pair of Mastercard debit cards.
After we receive our load advances, we transfer them from the Comdata card to the TAB account -- usually once a week.
When we roll into a J to buy fuel, we swipe a card and start fueling -- without calling a cashier inside on the phone.
The TAB card keeps track of the frequent-fueler points and the free drinks and showers.
We also use our TAB cards elsewhere as we would any other Mastercard -- and we get a 1% rebate via the frequent-fueler points.
Nifty, eh?
Lawrence, we look forward to seeing you in Knoxville in February.
Bst wishes,
Doc.

The first time I get fuel with my ComData I get a cash advance to avoid charges on future use . Sometimes I direct deposit some of the ComData into my business account . I have a Visa bank card for that and I use that at Flying J's and fuel up in the RV area and pay at the pump . I've also been buying Speedway gift certificates . A $50 gift certificate costs $48 . I turn around and use it for fuel and save 4% .

With my TAB (Transportation Allicance Bank) debit card from Flying J, I do all my purchases. I can get a check number from TAB and then call ComData to register it. 15 minutes later, my money is in my TAB account.

I love the TAB card. It does everything for me. Free drink. Shower. Points each month for goods and coupons for food.

TAB doesn't charge anything for their transactions, unlike ComData. I can't believe it costs $2.85 to get fuel from TA using my ComData card. It's Flying J for me unless there is no other place to go.

I have a Petro here in California I regularly goto.
It's the one at the base of the grapevine (near grapevine!)
Matter of fact I was there today in a Penske unit. Parked in a bobtail spot. Went in to get a bite to eat and was outa there in less than 10 minutes. However the entire time I was there I looked for anything mentioning paying for parking, and I didn't see anything. Are the Petro's out here better? or at least free parking (so far as could tell). BTW, It seemed to me that the Petro and Flying J around here are about the same on costs. Likelly gonna have to start giving Flying J more business tho, they bought out our Shell refinery (Saving lotsa a jobs, along with lotsa Diesel - something like 30% of California's Diesel) here in Bak-o...
