What's the difference between the two, besides the price in some states? I'm guessing the extra cost on #2 is extra road tax aimed at semis? Or is the fuel different in some way?

I'm not sure why the #2 diesel is more expensive at your location but they should be the same but the auto diesel is slower.
It actually makes sense in a way, saving low-mileage drivers a lot of money. But of course it hits the line haulers the worst.
I think the tax exempt truck diesel being referred to here is likely exempt from an additional tax added on top of the tax difference between dyed diesel and clear that some states likely do.None of the googled above answer makes a lick of sense to me. Off-road diesel(non-taxed) should be exactly the same price as road diesel MINUS the tax, which is considerable in my state. Like $0.75 per gallon.
A "truck diesel" wouldn't be tax exempt unless your state has some wacky rules.
Much more likely to me is that you are in a state that has passed laws to target and penalize trucks at the pumps instead of in other taxes like licensing fees the way WA does here.

Edit: Hey I was right! Beat me to it.
That may be true on the highway,but in rural farming areas,the will just pull you over if it's an old diesel.They actually stop at all the farms here,every so often,and stick the tank of your truck.i went to vo tech school for being a Diesel Mechanic. they told us that if a truck gets pulled over to get a DOT check done that is the only time they check your tanks. so if you own your pickup truck, which doesnt have a DOT number on it, i dont think they can check your tanks
I've heard the same thing here in Kansas. I haven't actually checked into it, and I have NO desire to get fined so I run road diesel only and I avoid ATF in the tank just in case.In Indiana it a $10,000 tax evasion fine, per vehicle caught
