I used to go with Loves 100%. Then a co-worker explained Pilots rewards system to me. Running short load 250 mile radius, I could never get enough miles to buy enough fuel each month to get over 2 PPG. I was getting nowhere.
I switched to PFJ and ...... based on how I run ...... I get 2 or 3 times the points at PFJ than I did at Loves. It works for me for fuel.
I still stop at any facility that works for me on any given day for drinks, ice, eats etc. We can buy at any of the big three and Loves is a lot nicer, but my fuel purchase's are 100% at PFJ.
Its just what works for me.

Loves is privately owned as i recall. They do one heck of a job working on our trailers remotely.
Yes, Kwik Trip is very community orientated and now you all traveling that I-90 corridor north of Chicago can stop at their newest truck stop soon competing with Road Ranger and Pilot/Flying J in South Beloit, IL
Rollers are rubbish. Everything i've tried anywhere off those things are pretty dreadful but they have prepackaged meals which are better than anything in the grocery store (aint saying much when Marie Calender sets the bar). Rotisserie yard bird is pretty good alone with all their hot fixin's. It must be nutritious as i lost 40 pounds last winter eating whatever i wanted for my 1st breakfast/lunch stop. 50 gallons gets you a free big buddy/coffee and a shower on top of points.
Kwik Trips big buddy cup is perfect sized to hammer down and lose that pee pee when the boss is crying about delivery windows. Sorry ladies......... -
It's vertical integration. His BNSF trains haul a lot of the crude oil that gets refined into the fuel his Saratoga trucks haul and his PFJ locations sell.catdog45, Last Call, 201 and 1 other person Thank this.

Thats one way to control your costs.
Owning the whole supply chain helps.
Now How about a human body wash on a belt with clean clothes at the end.

You can get "squeaky" cheese curds at KT.

Whats crazy when I started trucking OTR in 06 pilot was the best. Loves was a hole in the wall pos. Used to avoid them. Small and garbage. Now loves is the nicer ones and pilot has gone to crap.bzinger, drvrtech77 and catdog45 Thank this.

I sure wish KT would broaden their area
I haven’t see anyone comment about Casey’s. So I will their and low class crappy food selling very poorly managed chain probably worse that PFJ I refuse to stop at their facilities even if I’am on fumesLast edited: Jan 19, 2024
catdog45 Thanks this. -
cant beat ,give me space petro. lol. Pilots got pizza. yea!

Best gas station pizza i've tried:
#1 - Casey's - their attention to detail at multiple Southern Wisconsin stations leaves me impressed. Sausage, Onion, Green Pepper and Mushroom made fresh to order puts most dedicated pizza places to shame!
#2 - Kwik Trip - their tailgater has said squeaky curds on the pizza
Lets see Warren Buffet start offering his employees at PFJ free childcare like they do at Kwik Trip in LaCrosse manufacturing/distribution
