DEF

Maintenance account when it's taken by the shop because they have no way to bill it through Comdata. If you log into www.swiftowner.com though you can see a detailed statement by RO for each purchase showing gallons and price so you still have a way to deal with accounting. Depending on the shop though it can take around a week to get billed for it.

 

I'm glad the only DEF I have to deal with in my Prostar is the driver.

Nicely said Frank, Sadly my Prostar is getting upwards of 450000 miles... Hopefully I can get another one when it comes time to turn it in...

 

Last time I was in Phoenix about 3 weeks ago there were a bunch of new ones. They had multiple colors but no fire engine red ones. At the rate I'm putting on miles I will be at 450k in less than 10 months. Problem is I heard no more Cummins ISX engines.

The '13 Volvos are ISX equipped along with the KWs. The Freightliners have DD15 Detroits.

My understanding though, and proven by the 2013 Volvos is that we are switching to 10 speeds from the 8s (finally).

 

From a L/O point, I no longer top off my DEF at the truck stops. Purchase enough to last a week. The only time that top off, at a terminal, and that depends on the terminal and how many trucks are sitting in the Pre-Qual line, like OKC, COLS, DEN

 

You do have to get with your Dm for all reimbursements over 20$. As far as swift policy goes on DEF purchases you have to submit a recipt showing what you pumped. NOT THE PRE PAY RECIPT. Last time i purchased def I had to prepay for it inside because the pumps outside put a $500 hold on your debit card. Witch would have been fine except my bank fraud department immediately froze my account. When you have the receipt that shows gallons pumped submit it with your trip and pester payroll and your dm until it is taken care of or just get your DEF at a terminal.
