I remember when the Bosselman's in Grand Island was a decent place to stop. Now that the Flying Peelot has taken it over, I hate coming here, and it seems that any time I am in the area, this ends up being my fuel stop. I can never get in, fuel and out in under 30-45 minutes...the pump's are gawdaful slow, the def pump is slow, a bunch of the card reader's pin pads are broken...and to top it off, their pump readers NEVER read my Peelot points card. Today, 1st 2 pumps, the pin pads were down so you had to go in to turn on the pump. On the 1st one, I tried to go in, but, the line was all the way back into the store, so I moved to another pump...pin pad down, went to the 3rd pump(I didn't have the patience to stand in line 20 min just to turn on the pump so they could make money...and too sorry to have parts in stock to fix their pumps). Finally the 3rd pump's pin pad worked, but when I went to put DEF in the truck, I could pee at a higher flow rate than the pump could pump. I decided to park instead of tying up a fuel pump because I had to make a donation to the porcelain collection bowl...but while in there, I checked to see if my points were added and sure enough, they weren't. So after I finished, I went to get a receipt so I could scan the purchase in manually (they won't add the points for you here, you have to do it yourself). The problem, I don't keep my fuel card or points card in my regular wallet anymore, I have a seperate card wallet I keep in the truck, but the kiosk was down, so I had to wait in that long ### line...and then Einstein couldn't find my truck number(after moving twice, I forgot what pump I was on)...so I had to go back out to the truck, get my cards, come back in and wait in another 'Disney ride' length line, just to get a receipt. Then, I had to inconvenience the lady at the Subway to make me a flatbread breakfast sammich (at least that's how she acted)...I felt like saying to her, "I'm sorry to inconvenience you by asking you to do your job, perhaps you would prefer unemployment and welfare"...I have grown to hate this truckstop. I bet old man Bosselman is rolling over in his crypt seeing how bad Pilot has screwed up his truckstops.

I was there a couple months ago and the keypad on my pump wouldn't register the number I pushed whether I pressed it lightly or firmly. Lady at the fuel desk said she was aware and they had new ones ordered but like everything else they were probably stuck off the coast of CA on a boat, lol.

I change trucks so often, I have never tried it for fueling. I use it for store locations, shower reservations and the occasional parking reservation.

The way I see it, if someone doesn't like what, or the way SSB says something, don't follow this thread.

Seems pretty simple to me......

That would be the mature approach.

It’s like our very own soap opera.

High Priority load...must have break in and ready to run as of load ready time shown on load assignment. MY ###!!!

Load ready time 04:30. As of 0600, they haven't even assigned a trailer to the load to start loading it...told dispatch I will give this load the same 'priority' getting it to the delivery that the shipper is getting it loaded.(Tyson inter-plant transfer)

*Update* and as of 0900 they said it still isn't ready, give it another hour.
