    I am a company driver. We are an exclusive PFJ fueler carrier operating 48 states. We can fuel wherever is convenient except a few locations we are limited to 50 gallons. However I will occasionally stop at a Petro/TA or Loves to break, and pay for a shower.

    Using the app to fuel, we are getting 3 points per gallon at any/all corporate PFJs. It may end this summer.

    That said, if I had to be limited to one chain, I’m glad it’s PFJ. When you average out all the locations [on all sides] considering, locations coverage, shower facilities, and premium WiFi service, they’re just better than the other two chains, IMO but perhaps not by much except the WiFi service at most PFJs blows any WiFi I’ve ever used at any Loves or TA

    Good luck finding a spot at a loves past 6 in a lot of areas. They tend to be smaller and busier. I also like diners. I'm fine with Wendy's, but if it's a subway it's a no-go. I got tired of it having it every single day working local.

    I ate at Wendy's yesterday at Loves Exit 59, I-70, Ohio and their prices were through the roof. F-them and their tiny new chili cups. I'd love to see a boycott of their crooked pricing structure. We volunteer into their highway robbery. Needed to vent.

    Most of the new ones are still poorly designed, although some are better. Plymouth, IN on US30 is a poorly designed lot, but Sidney, OH is ok.

    I think it's the opposite. TA wants all the franchises branded Petro instead of TA. That's why they changed the logo. It's still Trails. The only one they're not forcing is Walcott.

    But TA is store by store. Morris, IL has been over 60 cents a gallon, but Wapakoneta (another franchise that is allowed to be branded TA) is nothing.

    I know a few people who are or were there. Iron Skillet are 24-7 while many of the TAs are not even boasting a restaurant named Country Pride, and those have nightsand early mornings shut down, for the most part.
    Not sure about Battle Creek or Marshall, MI. I took a few trips west and once to Miami in the past several years, so I don't know much about things outside the northern 2 tiers east of the Missouri River.
