For timely inflation go to truck stop, where they have 180 psi with 50 gallons or bigger tanks.
Crucial point is your tire required pressure.
Most DP have compressor pumping 120psi cut off.
BUT ... cut in usually is below 100psi.
Meaning if you need 105psi, even with engine running you will never get there, unless you go to pedals and fan brakes to get compressor engage again.
My 22.5 tires hold the pressure for 2 years so I never had issue to inflate on the road.
At home I have oil-less compressor for cleaner air and locking chuck.
I set the compressor regulator to desire pressure, lock the chuck on the tire and go for lunch.
