    Don't know why you wouldn't have seen the message about the DEF. I know that myself and a few of P-Colas other drivers told me they got that message to dump jugs to tanks and toss. I keep one, but i try and make sure to cycle it through so that the DEF does not get old. I assume like gas DEF can destabalize as well. I called my DM and she told me that if I got down to 1/4 tank to let her know so that she could open me at a fuel stop. My DM actually looks at all my Mac 50's to see if I need fuel or not. Quite frankly I think she rocks and goes above and beyond what she needs to do as my DM. She does a great job taking care of her fleet.

    i never got a message about dumping my jugs... and again, when I ask for DEF, the first thing Im told is to use my jugs (and this is from night dispatch), like if I had any that were full that I would need them to remind me to use them lol

    Hmm, perhaps it was just P-cola or something odd like that. Don't know. But I hear ya. Just like when you ask for a fuel stop they tell you to dip your tanks. Like a driver can't just lie about that.

    It must be just a P-cola thing. DM said that since DEF is available now at the pump at so many locations there was no need to carry the jugs. I would think that that
    Would be a company wide decision though and not a terminal to terminal.
