    Efon, you and Joker aren't the only drivers at May that have a great dm. Mine is wonderful, she is only dispatching the fuel according to what the bigwigs are directing her to do.

    Lucky homos. I had to call corporate and explain why I ran out of fuel. More like why make me go 30 miles out of route and only give me 25 gallons then only 50 gallons after that. Mine usually reviews my fuel everyday as I send it in for accurate reference. Never covered for whole weekend though, that's nice.

    I have no problem getting my DM to open me up for 25 gal DEF when it's necessary, although I sometimes have to use my emergency jugs to get there.

    I have one of the 587s that has the def filler on the passenger side, so I have to empty the emergency jugs into the tank, then walk around to the pump (on the driver side) and fill the jugs, then walk back to the filler and empty them. Takes me usually about 6-7 refilled jugs to fill the tank if it's down to 1/8 level before I go to fuel. It's a PITA, so I generally try to get DEF at a terminal but when I take these runs back east that's not possible.

    I wonder if the DEF is crystalizing in the jug's spouts and clogging up my system when I pour it in... hmmmmmmm.

    Lolol, it feels like I already do live up here! Winters up here are too frigid for my blood. I will live out my days in the AZ desert and eventually expire there, if I can manage to make it out of Bismarck!

    Good point about the crystalizing of the DEF in the jugs. I've noticed those big junks too. You might be onto something there.

    I thought you were maybe considering working in the fracking fields up there in ND. I know 2 guys that are making big bucks up there.
