If you’re a trucking company or private fleet that gets out over the road, your diesel exhaust fluid experience is going to be much different than others. The big truck stop guys are installing DEF lanes like crazy at their locations. At last check and this could be off by 1 or 2 at any of these truck stops, Pilot Flying J had 308 locations with DEF. Love’s Travel Stops had 150 locations with DEF. While Travel Centers of America Petro had 100 sites for diesel exhaust fluid with their new retro fit sites so the diesel fuel and DEF are right next to each other. In due time, within the next 6 months all of these chains would have at least 75% of their sites with diesel exhaust fluid but let’s say your trucks don’t really go onto the Interstates, how are you buying your DEF?
I don’t believe we will see a ton of places installing DEF dispensers outside of the truck stop world. Mostly because your typical retail location does not have enough room for additional dispensers. This means instead of paying today $2.49 a gallon for DEF at a truck stop, you will be paying $6.00 a gallon from a jug! How can you change that and make your DEF costs, competitive as hopefully your diesel fuel prices are today.
