Convenience-store brands 7-Eleven and Sheetz are both adding locations that target truck drivers with features such as truck diesel fueling, diesel exhaust fluid, truck parking, truck scales, and fleet payment options.

7-Eleven announced a major expansion of its 7Fleet Diesel Network, a collection of 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes stores meeting the needs of professional truck drivers in 26 states.

The 7Fleet network was established in 2022 with 240 Speedway commercial diesel locations. Since then, 7-Eleven has added more than 135 locations and grown the network to over 375 sites across its family of brands.

This growth will continue in 2025 with more 7-Eleven banner sites, bringing the total network size to more than 500 locations nationwide.

With the acceptance of all major truck payments and competitive pricing, the 7Fleet Diesel Network offers a truck-driver-specific version of the convenience found in 7-Eleven stores, including loyalty programs, food offerings, truck merchandise and truck parking.

Highlights include:

  • Dedicated diesel canopies with high-flow diesel lanes and DEF

  • 4,500 truck parking spaces and growing

  • Restaurants such as Laredo Taco Company and Raise the Roost Chicken & Biscuits

  • A consistent payment experience that includes multiple fleet payment options

  • Dedicated sales team

“We are thrilled to continue our growth as one of the largest diesel networks in the country,” said Marissa Schneider, director, Commercial Fleet for 7-Eleven.

“We have not only expanded our presence with physical locations, but we strive to offer full business solutions for our customers by growing with industry partners and adding new forms of payment."

The company is opening four new stores featuring truck diesel lanes this August. Spread across Michigan, North Carolina and Virginia, each store will offer high-flow diesel fuel and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) for commercial trucks, as well as a truck scale and free parking spaces available for overnight parking to truckers.

Sheetz currently operates 740+ store locations across Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland. Customers can check if other Sheetz locations sell high flow diesel fuel and DEF through the Sheetz mobile app or website, by filtering “truck diesel” and/or “Bulk DEF.”
