Professional drivers can see all TA and Petro sites carrying on-island DEF with the TruckSmart mobile app available as a free download from the Apple App Store and Android Market.
The on-island installations include a new dispensing technology and transaction system to provide professional drivers with a quicker and easier fueling process. Called the "1+1," the new dispensers handle both diesel fuel and DEF. Drivers can simultaneously authorize diesel fuel and DEF transactions at the same dispenser, simultaneously dispense the two products, and pay for both fills at the same time. The "1+1" dispenser also saves time because it eliminates the need for drivers to move their truck to accommodate both fills.
All TA and Petro Stopping Centers carry DEF in 2.5 gallon containers. RoadSquad emergency roadside assistance trucks also carry DEF in containers.
