    I've been using the fueling feature for about a week at like it. All the info I used to enter into the pump keypad is now done in the cab. I just enter one 6 digit confirmation number at the pump and start fueling. No more writing mileage on my hand. I'm surprised I haven't seen it discussed here yet.

    I haven't used the other features like shower reservation, but so far so good.

    ^^^ That's awesome; thanks, man. I'm surprised it wasn't posted in the tech part of the forum, or maybe I missed it???

    Getting it now.

    It'll be nice not to mess with the keypad anymore- esp in winter.

    Especially when so many of the keypads don't work correctly!

    The shower reservation option is pretty cool too.
    I pulled into a busy truck stop tonight at 6pm. I reserved a shower before I even turned off the truck. I was 2nd in line.
    I got my stuff and walked in. By then I was 1st in line but there was 4 people in line after me. I woulda been 5th in line... Was in the shower a few minutes later

    They ask for a credit card number for fueling? Will they take a comdata card?

    Yes. After you enter a four digit security PIN, you enter your comdata # into the app. The next time you fuel it will remember your card number and your truck number. In my case, all I have to enter is the current mileage. After you select whatever combination of tractor/reefer/DEF you want, it takes about 5 seconds then the app gives you a six digit number. You get out of the truck, punch in that number on the pump and you're ready to fuel.

    Too bad my company use a cardless system, but the shower reserved is neat

    Used the shower reservation again today. Reserved a shower when I got parked for my 30 minute break. There was no wait, so I went inside, checked the tv screen for my number and walked to the shower. The app gives you your number and pin.
    You have 10 minutes to get to the shower after reserving it...
    Pretty sweet!!!

    I know... I'm a lousy truck driver. I had a shower last night... Then this afternoon... And usually every day... Sorry to ruin our image!
    :)

    The TA/Petro have been doing the shower reservation for years now, about time the other truck stops caught on.
