Online Portal

If you activated your Comdata debit card through the online portal, then you should already be registered for an online account. On the Comdata login page, enter your username and password to access your account information. Your card balance and activity will be displayed on your account page.

Tip

Register for a Comdata account, if you have not done so yet, by choosing the “click here to register” link on the Comdata login page. The prompts will guide you through the registration process. You will need your debit card number and Social Security number to register.

Web addy for the login page: https://w6.iconnectdata.com/chth/Controller?XFunction=LoginPage just copy & paste

Hope this helps . . .

Well I think I needs ta add another company to look into . . . I was up to 3, eliminated 1 of them b/c they don't have a rider program. Sounds like they are working out well for you. If you don't mind I'd like to find out more about them as the website doesn't give you alot of details, heres my email semis_offerings@hotmail.com Just when you get time no rush.

And no you didn't mention your truck # . . lol

Way to go MC1371 . . BIG congrats on passing your test !!!!

Hey Brett . . . Could you set something up on TT just for CB related posts? IE: getting CB handles for us newbies, edicate & how you SHOULD talk on there, maybe how to deal with some of the antenna or radio problems, swap CB stories, etc . . .

Each company sets up their QualComm with different tolerances. My company gives you 1/2 mile and 15mph. Exceed either one and you are placed on duty driving.

I regularly try to make it to a RCVR the night before my appointment. Then do my unload the next morning while I am off duty.

Thats what I would like to work out once I get out there Patrick. That way you can save your hrs. How does W O Holding treat ya BTW ?

Magick . . . Sorry my brain was kind of on overload last night, too much info but anywho. On the electronic logs: Is there a time delay on when they activate? I've been reading some turn on with a rotation of the wheels of the truck, some have a mile or so, etc. Say you park on site at a receiver but you're early for delivery & they're not open yet. When they do open, they assign you a door but wont be able to load you for another hr or so. Instead of starting your clock & waiting, burning your drive hrs, you back up to the dock & hop back in the bunk. Would there be a delay of when the log would start when you move the truck?

Found a website (keeptrucking.com) & they're saying as of this year (2016) the 34 hr rule has changed.

Old Rule: Must include 2 periods between 1 & 5AM and cant use this rule but once every 168 hrs

New Rule: The 168 hr limit no longer applies, no longer need to have the 2 periods between 1 & 5AM and drivers can use the restart rule at any time.

Has anyone else hear about this ?
