To check on the status of one or more payments, log in to Navisphere Carrier or call our carrier services department at 800-326-9977.
Providing a load number is the fastest, easiest way to find the status of a payment. You can also search for payments using your carrier ID number, however this method is more time consuming and can be out of date based on the status of the load.
If you notice a discrepancy in your load payment compared to the invoice amount, contact the office that booked the load in question.
Our carrier services team can review a load and what was paid on a load (e.g., line haul, unloading, detention), but only the originating office can approve any discretionary amount for payment.
Download our QuickPay setup packet. Once you read and agree to the terms and conditions, you can submit your QuickPay discount agreement form and EFT authorization form (if applicable) to the appropriate email address or physical address.

A grading review period occurs each month that could potentially change your current tier. Your status in the program is based on your ability to check in on time for pick ups and deliveries, and to provide hourly status updates while moving a load. If you have questions about your status, please reach out to your carrier rep or learn more about the Carrier Advantage Program .
Your Carrier ID and password were provided in two separate welcome emails when you registered for the program.
You will need both the Carrier ID and password when accessing your EFS account. Please keep in mind that your Carrier ID and password should only be given to people who are authorized to make account changes.
Your secure entry code is a code you choose when logging into EFS’s eManager for the first time. You will use this code for security purposes; for example, when logging into eManager from a new computer.
Be sure to either memorize your code or keep it recorded in a secure place. Only share your secure entry code with people who are authorized to make account changes.
With the Carrier Advantage Card, you can save on fuel, tires, and service. Fuel discounts are based on the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) nationwide index. Carriers can save an average of 37–40 cents per gallon at TA Petro and TA Express Travel Centers, as well as Roady's Truck Stops. In addition to fuel, you can save on service and tires through TA Petro and TA Express. Simply present your ID and DOT/MC number at the service desk.
Your card also offers EFS network discounts at thousands of locations across North America.
While setting up your program policy, you can select allowable items for cardholders. For example, limiting 250 gallons of fuel every 24 hours will help prevent unauthorized purchases. Please keep your cardholders informed as to what items they are allowed to purchase.
Also, the information you require cardholders to provide at checkout will act as a protection for you and your cardholders. Only people with the specific required information will be able to use the card. Please keep your cardholders informed as to the information they are required to provide at the time of purchase. Examples of required information:
If one of your cards is lost or stolen, log in to EFS’s eManager to inactivate, delete, or place the card on hold immediately. Once done, the lost or stolen card is useless to anyone until the status is changed back to “active.”
Yes. Through EFS’s eManager, you can allow “manual entry” of cards. Notify the cardholder of the card number; they will then be allowed to enter the number by hand at the pump instead of swiping the actual card. Remember to switch the card back to “swipe only” when the cardholder has the card in hand again.
EFS offers an override option in their eManager tool for situations like these. After the override transaction has been processed, the override policy is removed and the previous card limits/locations return. If the override is for cash, please select the option for a “one-time cash advance.” Note: the cash will remain on the card until the cardholder depletes the funds.
EFS allows for multiple limits through eManager by creating default policies with separate defaults. This allows individual card management for companies requiring more specialized fleet policies.
C.H. Robinson’s Carrier Advantage card is managed through EFS. Direct any further questions regarding your card directly to EFS. Their customer service department is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call them at 1-888-824-7378.
