Dan, I have installed the Point of Sale for two of the largest national Truck stop service centers and can confirm, that those systems they use, (when you scan, the card at the pump) the people inside the store (staff) can see the entire card number, pin and code), it is displayed on the screen inside. (basically, it is an Older system, technology, and does NOT encrypt the data. In my opinion, if a employee is crooked, it is as simple as taking a photo of the screen and emailing to a friend or associate, who then uses the info to pump free gas at another gas station. If they are more sophisticated, it only takes 60 seconds, using a USB card reader, (to transfer YOUR card info to a blank card), and then walk into any retail location, and use that card to make purchases (basically cloning or copying your card, to a blank card). If anything you should report this the retail outlet. Another possible trick, if you have control, is to change the PIN every-time, you load the card with cash. That way if someone stole the card and old pin, they have a worthless CARD #, (As they will NOT have the correct PIN).

[@tomblain7753]

Hope you change your mind about the Fuel card and find a way to report direct to the store ownership at a corporate level. Letting criminals get away with these actions only motivates them to do more. Be safe, and thanks for putting out great content, and strong opinions. Keep up the good work.

[@showmemoblues]

TRUCKER DAN LOOK INTO GETTING A RFID BLOCKING WALLET. BAD GUYS can read your card if unprotected with an RFID reader! ALL TRUCKERS should look into an RFID WALLET to stop RFID readers. GOOD LUCK and thanks, truckers for your hard work keeping AMERICA running. Reminds me, when you were talking you had someone in front and behind you while using your card, it could have been one of the people around you with an RFID reader.

[@jaeinnmoon3279]

My EFS card does not have that RFID chip. I would think Dan's EFS card doesn't have it neither. Most truck stops like TA or Love's have not implemented chip readers.

[@brianadams429]

Maybe skimmers on the pump?

[@RaoulThomas007]

I’d try an RFID Wallet too. If it happens thereafter, then it seems like a skimmer would be to blame.

[@jimmckay1480]

@brianadams429 most likely bc to make a cash withdrawal theyd need mot only the cc and cv code but the pin code as well

[@davidcarroll8735]

Also. If you have the ability to login to the EFS account online, change your password every time that happens as a further check and balance, since you mentioned you’re already on the lookout for the skimmers.

[@MW-rk7nl]

Chip and pin, a tap card or even tap on your phone all of those rotate the number and actual account is never exposed. Sucks to get stuff stolen...keep up the great work love your channel

[@wesclark4335]

Lots of wisdom riding around in that orange rig.

[@kennethray6408]

I used to use cash back in the early '80s when I had my truck, but you'd have to carry so much money nowadays that would be awful dangerous.

[@marionel7591]

Now we get big discounts using that EFS card. Paying cash only get you the cash price. That is a difference of hundreds of dollars per week. I've also used to pay with cash year's ago. That was mainly because of paper log books. (No time stamp on cash fuel)

[@Franceliakarlee]

Hi how are you doing today?

[@geraldlessard7446]

Safe travels, Dan. Just a thought on your fuel card, look into second level verification. Before you can use your card, you need to use a PIN number that is sent to your cell phone. New PIN number for each transaction. No PIN, no transaction. Thanks for the video! Happy Holidays

[@bengone3349]

Excellant idea!

[@Franceliakarlee]

Hi how are you doing today?

[@phillp7777]

yes 2nd level check via txt msg pin # is best protection ..use it works good

[@PenelopePeppers]

People put skimmers on those machines outside and then retrieve them later with all the data on them .....Sware to God you don't notice them !!!!! it's best to pay in cash or go inside and get a receipt :)

[@stanleyflory6702]

I was leased to Landstar from 2001 to 2013, and used we used the Comdata card. I was never hacked, but lost the card in a ATM in Mexico once, just did not spit the card back out! I just canceled the card, and they sent me a new one! I know this was a long time ago, but just relating the type of card Landstar used. Our card worked the same way, like a debit card. and you told them how much to load on the card for every load. I never kept a excess amount on the fuel card. The rest of my money was set up to direct deposit!

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Fuel desk get too see the codes so it is easy pocket money, just keep the card empty and load money on it b4 using it, stealing that way is too easy these days.

[@jamessimms415]

Safe travels. Give Miss Bailey a hug, smooches, & scratches behind big ears

[@AB-mg5sx]

Get a back up fuel card, I’m independent and have MudFlap for back up but mainly use Open Roads which is a EFS card, great discounts come straight out of bank account, could open bank account just for that card and move funds over when need, hook MudFlap to that account also

[@robertsmith-zz7ot]

[@39simpleman]

I’m a company driver with that exact same card & never got hacked HOWEVER I don’t use the card reader @ the pump, I use the app

[@jaeinnmoon3279]

My EFS card has “option” to not allow cash advance. To buy fuel, you have to have the card, truck number, employee number, and odometer reading. The thief would need to know all this information… easiest guess is Mercer. Someone at Mercer has this information.

Bruce Oakley trucking has also had the same problem. They just recently started getting the texts messages like we do to notify them when their card is used. I also used to keep a large balance. I now only put enough on to fill the truck. (Which with fuel prices being so high is still a lot)

truck and trailer looking good Dan , Baileys happy camper 😁 For sure what you are talking about , that is EXACTLY what I think it is a inside job , it is somebody working with these cards that is the only way they are going to get hacked , Some of these truck stops I have noticed what people were driving and how they dress and working for $15 an hour , How are they driving a expensive ride and wearing $500 bucks worth of clothes working for $15 bucks an hour be safe take care yourselves DAN

It is not as good as Mercer’s discount but you could get the Mudflap app as a backup. Good thing about them is the truck stop doesn’t get your number and it gives you a one time authorization each time.

We have had our debit card hacked again just a week ago. I think it was the 3rd time. Ha Ha whoever hacked this time hacked into the sheriff dept where we pay our property taxes. The sheriff said he don't know who the bad guys are but they are not in the U.S. Any ways our bank was watching as they have always been doing and stopped our payment and fixed everything. Not our first time and prolly not the last. As I said our bank watches our and all accounts. Good luck and stay safe Dan and Bailey.

There is apps that will allow you turn card off and on yourself. They will also allow you to create a geographic region as small as a 5 mile radius of your location for it to be approved and you can put a limit on your card.

I don't know why EFS doesn't have a lock/unlock feature on their cards so when you use it you can unlock your card and when you're not using it you can lock your card to prevent unauthorized transactions like that...this is usually done through an app on your phone just like you receive text notifications about charges on your card.

Hey Dan, Love your channel. I've been a Landstar BCO for a little over 2 years and never had that problem. Landstar uses a Comdata card that works a little different. I can only use my card for fuel, Nothing else. It also has to be preloaded by myself or Landstar. Anything outside of fuel/DEF must be paid for with personal funds or Comdata check that is pre-authorized.

[@FTW60]

DAN I feel you. Not a driver but I have been hacked 4 or 5 times. It is a darn hassle to file a police report spend time on the phone ( usually an hour or two) so you cancel the card and it takes 10 days to get a new one. I just have my wife shut the card off until I'm in line or ONline to make a purchase. Then shut it off again right away. It's all a hassle. Bit everytime I leave it on damned if I don't get hit again. This next time I'm goung with another bank. Your right I think it's industry wide. I don't think it's just commercial drivers I think it's everyone everywhere. Pray you and Bayly get home for a while seems like you have been banging the drum hard for several months. God bless and protect you and "ALL OUR BACKBONE OF OUR NATION" GOD BLESS YOU ALL. AS A VET I FEEL DRIVERS SHOULD HAVE THE SAME RESPECT.

[@chriskahlson]

I deactivate card first asap then report unauthorized purchases in pending status are easily recovered, Dan you need to only keep the card activated while you’re actually buying fuel, then deactivate it once you’re done.

[@chriskahlson]

The cards can be manually activated and deactivated by the cardholder using the online app, if not you need to urge Mercer to change to a debit card provider that has that feature. The same card app that let you turn on the notifications should have an activate and deactivate setting. If and when an unauthorized charge ever occurs, right click on the unauthorized charge and report it while it’s in “pending” status and it will never be processed to “paid” status, once it goes to paid stays claims will be much more difficult to recover unauthorized funds. Mercer should be using a debit card provider where the cardholder has total access and control over the card.

[@steve5975]

I worked for Prime Inc. and we use Comdata (Mastercard). I think Comdata implemented a verification to see where the card is being used to where the truck is located (truck tracked via gps, etc.); if they are not at the same location then transaction denied.
