    What truck stops do you use that have the best rewards program? I am currently using loves since they are offering double points right now.

    It's best to go ahead and get a rewards card for all the major chains: Pilot/Flying Finger, Petro, Love's, and T/A. Depending on whatever chain your carrier requires you to fuel at, you can earn points wherever you fuel. Bear in mind that shower credits usually expire after a week.

    We concentrate on Loves the first part of the month... Get 1000 gal, and the next month unlimited showers and drink refills FREE! That in itself pays us to go there even if they might be a penny or two more than Pilot/Flying J. Especially as we team, and we both have 52oz Bubba Kegs we refill twice a day!!

    We use Pilot because of it's location to where we do our reset, pick up most of our loads, and they have laundry.

    We get most of our fuel 120 miles up the road where we have a contract and good discount. They have around 40 locations. Most locations are just 2 or 3 fuel islands and don't have parking.

    I have cards for all of them but I fuel at TA/Petro unless it's unavoidable that I stop somewhere else.

    Loves, TA\Petro, Pilot\Flying J, Sapp Bros., AMBest, Wilco Hess, Roady's... may as well get the whole set. My company sends me all over depending who has the cheapest in a given area. I have talked to drivers from other companies who only use one or two of the major chains. Depends what your company is doing.

    Thanks for the replies! The owner of my company does not require any specific place to fill up and leaves that decision completely up to us. I was just wondering if one truck stop had better rewards than the others.
