Once you are signed up let me know and I will sign up and use you as a referral so you get the $25 credit.

 

Thanks for the offer sir! If your number hasn't changed I will shoot you a text when I have the card in hand.

 

ditto, post here. I think I will do the same.

 

I will do that Scott! That is a very generous offer.

I will post here mid-December when I have applied for the card and once it arrives I will update the thread as well. If you fellas cannot wait that long, I understand completely.

 

Just looked at the application, no request for SSI number, only bank info after you fill out the application. Going to read through the site a second time but so far I see no down side. I owned my own class 8 several years ago and am very familiar with the EFS card. This looks like it with a different name.

Thanks for the heads up Sous.

I applied a few nights ago. I’m just waiting for the next step.

 

I applied online...... received the phone call 4 or 5 days later...... Have the EFS card. Wait to use in now.

 

Were you required to supply your SS # on the phone call, Roy ?

 

*** warning start***

If you are not comfortable with providing your SSN, then you don't have to and you can continue your life as if I never brought this up. Just because I am comfortable with providing mine, doesn't mean someone else is.

The purpose of this thread was to get some opinions on the use of the program and share the information with others on the FTE community in case they too were interested. This is kind of like "if something offends you or makes you upset, don't do it and let the other people that it works for be happy".

A SSN is no longer an end all, be all to staying away from identify theft. There are many more layers now, but no one is safe from identity theft. Just the other day I needed to provide my SSN to the power company in order to settle my mother's account after she passed away on October 4th. I have had my credit card number stolen twice in 20 years and both of those times the card was cancelled, a new one was overnight shipped to me and the charges were reversed with no questions asked. The same policy or actions apply to my savings and checking accounts at my banking institution. I would suggest that if your bank does not offer the same level of insurance (not protection) from identity theft, you find another bank.

The only way to truly protect yourself from identity theft is to only use cash, have no utilities, no mortgage, no loans, don't buy anything online, no cell phone/smartphone, don't use fuel pump credit card swipes, don't have credit cards, etc... Identity theft is an aspect of life that we are all going to have to deal with for a very long time. Do what you can to protect yourself from it, but don't think you are safe just because you keep that little blue card that says Social Security on it in a safe in your house.

Once again I will vigorously attempt to steer this back on topic, which is the fuel program itself and not the application process...

*** warning end***

I emailed TDS again later that same night at 5:24 PM with another question:


This was their reply first thing the next morning at 8:39 AM.

I look forward to using the card in the near future. We have a Love's fuel station about 15 - 20 miles from our house and that will now become my primary filing station for the 75 gallons of fuel capacity I have on the truck. Suits me better this way anyway because I won't have to go to my large, bustling town of 5000 people in order to fill up. I can stay out in the sticks where I belong...

 

I believe it was on the phone call and my checking account number.
They called, I didn't answer. They left a message. I called back and talked with them a bit.

 

Seems like the person you spoke on the phone with inspired a bit of confidence, am I right or wrong?

Were there any takeaways that you care to share with us?

 

The Voice mail left and the conversation lead me to believe that this is totally legit. Friendly person that was informative and easy to talk with.

Will be nice to see some fuel savings........ Up to now I have only have Pilot fuel savings through Good Sam's Club...... 8 cents per gallon. They also draw the money directly from my checking account once a month.

 

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and initial experience with TDS Logistics.

Your experience and opinion is highly valued by many here on FTE.
