When an operator stops at a Mudflap network truck/fuel stop, when there they open the Mudflap app and select the fuel stop where they want to fuel. One tap of a button will then ''generate a fuel code -- it's a numeric code unique to you and that particular truck stop,'' Desai said. That code is then what you show to the fuel desk clerk, and how they ID you as a Mudflap customer, turning on the pump for you. Then, essentially, you're done. Mudflap was established in 2016 by Sanjay Desai in Palo Alto, California.
