Was just wondering if trucking companies will direct deposit half of your weekly settlement into your checking account and put the other half on your Comdata card? 8)

 

I know Swift does.

 

I am curious as to why you would want part of your money put on a Comdata Card and the rest deposited in your bank account? Would it not be better to put everything in a bank account and use a debit card?

 

I know some people did it so their other half wouldn't use up all of their paycheck before they got a chance to.

 

If I had an "other half" that i couldn't trust and had to hide money from them in this way, or found out that they hid money from me this way, I would have to have a rather stern talk about trust and handling money. If the trust didn't come back, I would have to keep the money and run the "other half" off!

Our company offers the comdata option. Personally, I don't see the point in paying $3.50 to get MY MONEY. I have mine go direct deposit to my account and use a debit card. Walmart and a number of other places will give you cash back on a debit card with any purchase so I rarely have to use an ATM.
