Here you can buy it at certain pumps with a credit card, but not very many places. Most have it delivered. The cardlock has video cameras. If they see you pumping it into a truck, they will ask you not to come back.
I was working for an excavation contractor and saw clear fuel in the genset I had apart. I asked him why and he said that he has no red diesel on the property, that way the hired help does not put red into a truck. He does the thing where you get the tax money back at the end of the year, instead.
We have 2000 gallons of off road diesel storage at our farm, and 500 gallons of road diesel for our trucks. Never fails, there is always that one new guy that pulls up to fuel his truck for the day and uses the off road diesel. To be honest, we've never pumped it out when it happens, and we've never had our tanks dipped the couple times we've been stopped by DOT either. It doesn't happen daily, but a couple times a year, someone does it.
