Fueling at a Flying J/Pilot question

This will be the first time we have taken the 5th wheel far from home using a diesel truck. Have laid out fueling stops.

However, what is the etiquette at a truck stop?

Do RV's use the same pumps as the 18 wheelers?

Are there regular credit card readers at these pumps?

Is all the fuel Ultra Low Sulfur?

    If there are RV only pumps, go to those (only heard about them, and have not seen them in any of the ones I go to.) If I do use the big rig lanes as opposed to the regular lanes (rig is small enough), I have to use my adapter for the large bore nozzles and pump it slow. I get out as fast as possible. From a co-worker who was a former OTR trucker, truckers don't like when us "weekend warriors" get in their way.

    As far as I am aware, there are regular readers, but cash is the cheaper option, with the PFJ card being the cheapest.

    At the big rig lanes, you have to choose between regular diesel and refer (non tax) diesel. Don't be caught putting the non tax in.
