We don't FORCE anybody to do anything pertaining to their job as a truck driver. It's just very helpful when they do stay at their pump at know all the information, such as
Truck Number
Pump Number
Gallons Fueled (Or Dollar Amount)
Et cetera.

I've often thought that this may be the reason that the coffee in so many truck stops/ gas stations tastes strange. I caught a whiff of the cleaner that was being used in one place, and it smelled familiar like something I had had aftertaste of before. I used to live in Tulsa and I know exactly what the cleaner Quik Trip uses tastes like. Sometimes they weren't so good about rinsing it out before brewing the next round. |
I don't know the brand, but it's these tiny blue packets. We run them once, and then rinse once.
Pilot is VERY uptight about it's coffee. We're supposed to know the acidity and such like that. That's why the quality is much better, I guess. I don't drink it because I can't stand coffee at all (not even starbucks)

Anyway, good for you, I often wonder about turnover at Pilot and truckstops in general, what with all the bitter,grim and grumpy faces coming and going all day, the pay cannot be to good, so how do you find the motivation to keep on coming back to that everyday? drive55cat |
The pay is much better than minimum wage, which is what most people pay. And every time we suggestive sell you something (i.e. 2-packs cigarettes, 2 theater pack candies, etc.) they give us a $5 pilot card for gas and snacks. We have a possible chance to make $30/week if we do really well every week.
