    I find it that the restaurant isn’t the issue, it’s the people working there.

    What they should do is put in restaurants that are regional so to speak that is specific to those areas…something like one restaurant types in the southwest, nw, midwest etc..

    I’ve been sending emails to them for some time. Back when trucks got 4-5 mpg on a good day Platinum level was easy. Now I get 8 mpg on average and barely make 2nd gear monthly…

    Don't worry about their loyalty program, they will probably change it to make it require TWO "ultracredits" for a shower OR a parking place.... And then increase the threshold for the credit to 80 gallons.

    In the TA location on I-75 north of Wildwood Florida, they have turned the entire lot into paid parking. Eff that noise. I don't even want to fill up from them, but it's the only place I get a decent fuel discount at the moment. But with what they have done to the program, there's no "reward" to the "loyalty" program any more unless you roll in on fumes - and I don't operate that way.

    And the fact that they never re-opened the Country Pride makes this one a no go to stop. Even though Country Pride isn't the best at least it wasn't just fast food choices. I had been stopping here since the 1970s and without a sit down restaurant and a full paid only parking lot I will never set foot in here again.

    But there's a free place on the other side of Taco Bell and the truck wash......plus, there's a bar in the same parking lot......so, there's that.
    Expand your horizons, my friend. Make trucking happy again.
     
    RockinChair, cke and BennysPennys Thank this.

    I’ve eaten at a Chipotle 1 time. That’s where they put rice in the burrito. Rice don’t belong IN a burrito. I barely made it to the bathroom in time. I’ll never eat there again
