A systems failure with EFS fuel cards has led to truck drivers unable to fuel their vehicles in various locations, according to multiple reports.

Social media users first identified the problem early Wednesday morning, and since then media reports indicate that WEX, the parent company of EFS, has confirmed the issue. One social media poster indicated the cards began having problems late Tuesday night. Others have said their cards are now working and company representatives have told them the issues are intermittent.

    1. Noble1 suggests SMART truck drivers should UNITE & collectively cut out the middlemen from picking truck driver pockets ! IMHO

      Oh now Timothy Doone from freightwaves is going to have a field day with this comment . He already believes that I have sock monikers on freightwaves , of which I don’t . Heck after reading this comment I myself would have been lead to believe I wrote it , LOL !

      Hmm this is a wake up call for sure due to 11:11 time stamp .

      Dave I like your thinking . If you haven’t read my comments on freightwaves ,I’d be surprised because what you have stated resembles what I have been advocating for quite awhile .

      You say TFC , I say a UNITED Truck Driver Alliance . Same thing .
      You should elaborate a little more on this concept of yours , seriously .

      I’m curious to how you would suggest to set it up .

      In my humble opinion …
