Before you insert your card check those pumps for skimmers

[@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

[@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.

[@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)

Hi how are you doing today?

[@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.

[@wesclark4335]

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

[@thomasheaney2087]

Sorry for your troubles, low balance is wise.

[@thistruckerslife]

Use the apps for The truck stop fueling. More security. I never take my cards out of the truck, unless absolutely necessary.

[@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!

[@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.

[@heath5566]

It's the Fuel station. They hit or fleet every month. Usually 1 driver every month.

[@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.

[@mjmohn]

Dan, Speaking of APPS, please use the fuel apps, i.e. Pilot/Flying J, Loves, and so on. You can list EFS as the payment method on the fuel apps. You never have to swipe your cards, just your phone. Very safe when fueling. When inside at the counter, use another method or a separate card for the incidentals and small stuff. Hope you recover the losses. Cheers.

[@TTVZicaZachh]

I agree, best way to fuel.

[@Doug-gp2qw]

Loves charges an extra 5 cents a gallon to use the app. I only use the app at Pilot/Flying J.

[@jaeinnmoon3279]

App doesn’t work at TA, or the TA app is useless and you still have to swipe the card and input all the information at the pump keypad. Love’s app works well…. But I get only $0.20 discount from the pump price while I get over a $1/gallon at TA, so I pump at TA.

[@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.

[@joeferreira7382]

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

[@Krieghandt]

Having worked in the credit card industry, it is a problem in every business type. The numbers are too readily available to too many people.

[@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 :)

[@Carhaulercharlie]

We have EFS too and just a couple days ago our cards were hack too. They shut everyone cards off and ours just works for fuel and other items like washer fluid, coolant, stuff like that.

[@arthurmandel6541]

Hope things get better Dan, the world is not what it use to be keep on trucking & be safe out there, peace out from Prescott, AZ.

[@brianadams429]

I miss the analog days of my youth. We only had to worry about counterfit cash, the fed did a good job of making it hard for criminals on that front. This digital crap is criminal friendly. Criminals have never had as easy to steal. I went to a taco bell one night the receipt had all the card numbers with the three digit code printed. It's no supposed th be that way. I told the employee they wasn't getting anything from me. I called and had my card deactivated right there in the drive thru.

[@d.c.barker]

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. I use that feature on my bank card, to prevent issues like that. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there. 😎👍

[@charlesdeaton7112]

I was in South Dakota at the TA in Summit and fueled up with enough fuel to get me to Iowa and about 10pm my phone started going off. Got nailed 3 times before I was able to get my card turned off for $963

[@toddblankenship8794]

A card without the Visa/MC logo dedicated just for fueling and requires 2 factor auth or at least your pin or drivers license number seems like it would be safer. I’ve been using Comdata thru Landstar for a little over 5 years without any problems. Card doesn’t work without a drivers license number and doesn’t work like a debit/credit card (at least to my knowledge it doesn’t). I’m going to start keeping a lower balance like you suggested just in case though. Stay safe out there.

[@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.

About 10 days ago my son in law had his regular debit card hacked in Tonkawa. He thought it was at as Casino. He never pulled it out and thinks it was scanned as he stood in a line .

[@philiplindley7384]

That's been going for a while in the UK, they only have to be 500yds away from you in the parking lot with a laptop and the right program, to read the transaction and get details. Don't know what the solution is? Maybe with the machines you have to put the card in.

[@Bear-pu2qo]

Hi Dan, been watching your channel for years now. I really think that you should follow through and report it, not just to get your money back, but to stop the hackers too. Or they might get you or somebody else again. Can't expect it to stop if you're not willing to help.

[@GRE2057]

Hackers are Everywhere now So to try and pinpoint them is IMPOSSIBLE to do because we don't know where they are located at... if we knew their location to stop them they wouldn't be hacking us! Everyone needs to including you needs to use 2 Factor Authentication on everything as a safe guard to protect you from Hackers!

[@Franceliakarlee]

how are you doing today?

[@ubuntu4fun]

I don't know about ta or loves but pilot you can connect your card to your account. Then you type in your mileage etc on the app and it gives you a code to type on the screen at the pump. That would avoid even pulling the card out. Maybe you could get one of those fancy wallets that block the tap to pay scanner things.

[@charlesprice7790]

It's a very common problem, from what I have seen talking with other drivers, the debit/credit EFS cards are very vulnerable. It's not as convenient, but the basic fuel only EFS cards don't seem to be as problematic.

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.

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.

Thats what i was going to say, if the card has an rfid chip anybody with a rfid reader near you can read your card. Get a faraday wallet to block the signal of your card. Leave the card in it until u use it and put it right back in the wallet After u use it. U will find most of that fraud will stop. My atm card , i had the same thing had multppe times .

Crap. My discover card got scimmed or whatever you call it as a gas station. Discover called me and say hey something doesn't seem right as they were doing charges at various grocery stores. They immediately took off the bad charges with no issues and overnighted me a a new card. Can't believe that company wants you to go through all that to get your money back. The whole reason cards got those chips was to prevent this.
