Comdata Corp. and Pegasus TransTech have teamed up to offer Transflo Express Scanning Services at truckstop fuel desks. The service will provide fleets with instant access to trip documents and speed up the billing cycle and driver settlements compared to the current process of using terminal drops or overnight delivery services.

Comdata initially plans to offer Transflo service at about 750 of the 2,500 truckstops currently using its Trendar point-of-sale systems and its existing communication network. Truckstop cashiers will scan the trip documents, and the images will be transmitted to Pegasus’ redundant data centers where they will be available for retrieval, billing and driver settlements.

Fleets with existing imaging systems may retrieve the documents directly into their in-house imaging and workflow systems or use Pegasus’ ASP Image Warehouse system.

“By teaming up with Pegasus and our truckstop network, we can offer speed, security, accuracy and economy to fleets that was previously unavailable to them for retrieving and processing trip documents,” said Frank Adelman, executive vp and gm of Comdata’s transportation services division. “It also condenses the time span from when a driver delivers a load until they receive payment for that load.”
