SWIFT and DEF question

As of a few days ago we still had to get a company advance to get it.

 

It happens sometimes.

Best bet is to make sure you get to a terminal before you run too low. If I'm near enough to a terminal, and have less than 1/2 tank, I'll divert to it for DEF.

 

I just tell my dm I need def and they will add me a fuel stop and I'll get Def at the pump

 

well I met once some guy who said you could, just request additional products, then def, but then the fuel transaction didn't process and I didn't get my precious 1 penny for gal bonus from the pilot. I used to just pay first, get a co. adv. boom, right on my comdata card, then send in the rec' with the gals/price extra with my next transflo, never had a problem, only that one time when I tried it combined with my fuel. wrong answer forsure.

 

What is DEF and how often do you have to put in?

 

Well Da? This is a place to ask questions. Just last yr when I got my first trk that used it, I couldn't have told you what it meant either, da-ha! hahaha

 

Haha, Mrh2008 prolly thought it was something similar to blinker fluid. I'm sure there's plenty of drivers out there just keepin their heads down and truckin along though who have no idea what DEF is though. I can't believe a large company like swift doesn't have a better way to get it yet though. I know my last company had maybe 20% or so of their fleet with trucks that required it, and we had it on our cards. *shrug*
