ComCheck / T-Check
A payment system used by carriers to reimburse drivers for fuel and expenses on the road.
Definition
ComCheck and T-Check are electronic payment systems that allow carriers to issue funds to drivers for fuel purchases, lumper fees, and other road expenses. The carrier loads funds onto a digital check number that the driver presents at truck stops or service providers. This eliminates the need for drivers to use personal funds for business expenses. Most major truck stops accept ComChecks.
