About Tomahawk Auto & Truck Plaza
Tomahawk Auto & Truck Plaza is a full-service truck stop and fuel plaza located off I‑25 in Fountain, Colorado. It provides gasoline and diesel fuel, truck parking, a convenience store, showers, and on-site dining options for both commercial drivers and everyday motorists. Listings describe it as a 24‑hour travel center with multiple fuel lanes, parking for dozens of trucks, and amenities that cater to long-haul trucking needs as well as local traffic.
A charge from “TOMAHAWK … FOUNTAIN” on a bank or credit card statement most likely corresponds to a fuel purchase, in-store convenience items, food from the attached restaurant or café, or paid overnight truck parking at the Tomahawk Auto & Truck Plaza. Some drivers may also see charges related to showers, truck services, or minimum in-store purchases that waive parking fees. The descriptor often includes generic banking terms like “DDA PIN POS PUR” (debit card PIN point‑of‑sale purchase) plus an internal code, which is added by the bank and not by the truck stop itself.
To verify a charge, customers can match the transaction date and amount with fuel or store receipts from a stop at I‑25 Exit 128 in Fountain, Colorado. If a receipt is unavailable, calling the plaza directly and providing the transaction date, approximate time, and amount can help staff look up the sale. For concerns about duplicate charges, pending authorizations, or card disputes, customers should first confirm with the plaza and then contact their bank or card issuer if the issue is not resolved. Keeping copies or photos of fuel and store receipts from the stop is the easiest way to confirm that a Tomahawk Auto & Truck Plaza charge is legitimate.

Depending on their point‑of‑sale records, they may be able to reprint or verbally confirm the line items associated with your transaction.
Why is the descriptor so long and full of codes like “DDA PIN POS PUR CD6791”?
Those extra terms and numbers are part of your bank’s internal coding for a debit card point‑of‑sale purchase and a reference ID. The key part that identifies the merchant is “TOMAHAWK” together with the city name “FOUNTAIN,” which indicates Tomahawk Auto & Truck Plaza. The rest helps your bank track the transaction but does not change the merchant identity.
Does Tomahawk Auto & Truck Plaza offer any loyalty programs or fleet card payments that might affect my billing?
Tomahawk Auto & Truck Plaza accepts a variety of fleet and fuel cards commonly used by commercial drivers, and those may route transactions through third‑party payment networks. In such cases, your statement might still show “Tomahawk” and “Fountain” but could also include the fleet card provider’s name. For questions about how a fleet card transaction is billed, contact your fleet card issuer or company administrator.
