I have used a EFS TSD fuel card for a long time (hooked to my checking account). Never had any issues. The company is a trucking logistics company supporting independent truckers. They offer many different services including locating and coordinating loads. Reputable outfit.
Over the past week, we have traveled and worked on moving stuff we left in storage in South Carolina up to Maryland (just got back in yesterday afternoon). My fuel stop yesterday was at a TA in Virginia. I happened to ask a trucker there if he'd ever had issues with DEF from the pumps at truck stops. He said not since the earlier days of emissions systems with DEF on trucks (he had to have his DEF tank cleaned out). Since then, he's had no issues. I pumped DEF there yesterday.
As for the ticket and charges:
Diesel (shown on the pump): $161.84 (29.43 gal. at $5.499/gal)
DEF (no discount): $13.35 (3.062 gal. at 4.36/gal)
Discount: $19.48 - bringing the price of fuel to $4.837/gal
I could look at the transaction immediately on the app on my phone and there was also an email in my inbox when we got home. I stop at TA, Love's, etc., and haven't used my Pilot/Flying J fuel card since I got the TSD fuel card.

On our last trip last month, we found that most, if not all, truck stops were anywhere from 50 cents to 70 cents more expensive than regular gas stations. One truck stop was 70 cents more expensive than a regular fuel station just across the street. We avoid truck stops like the plague.

That's where TSD works. Goes to at least normal gas station prices. Here it does far better than that.

I use jugs for around town so to speak if I need it, but when I am hauling the RV or the LQ Horse Trailer, I buy DEF a the pump always. Its too easy to use pump it full at the pump since I am drinking it at that point pulling. I agree with what has been stated about reputable please. I have not had issues with pump based DEF across a dozen different states either.

I have the auxiliary 20 gallon fuel tank that fits under the toolbox, so I always fuel up at the end of the day when we've dropped the trailer. Truck stops have always been a little higher than regular stations, but lately it's gotten totally ridiculous.
