The merger of Pilot and Flying J travel plaza is not a blessing to many truck drivers

The Denny's will be open 24/7 that is a improvement.

 

Ummm ... I don't know about that. I think that not all Denny's in the new Flying Pee-Lot will be open 24/7/365. I think most will follow the current situation of the old Flying J Country Market where the restuarant closes down between 2300 hours and won't open again until 0600 hours.

 

So Pilot and the J merged, T/A and Petro I think one bought the other, there is nothing left except Love's. I'm going to start packing my camping stove and grill. You guys have fun at the fast food and Denny's. I'll take a pork chop made by me.

 

I have been doing this for years. Many times it is weeks before I buy a meal in a truck stop.

 

I even share if someone asks, I don't like to cook inside the truck. I'm too paranoid of cooking in something so expensive.

 

I was told by a J emoployee that the one they're putting in here in Fargo will be 24/7 just as the other Denny's here in town.

 

I don't cook in my truck. I eat cereal in the AM and sandwiches for lunch. I BBQ dinner almost every evening. If you eat in a truck stop every day the cost is $25+ per day. I can make half of a new truck payment with that money.

 

Corporate T/A from suburban Cleveland, OH bought out the family run Petro from El Paso, TX.

 

Oh. Okay.

But after awhile I am wondering if they will decide not to be open 24/7. But at least we know at first, they will be open round the clock.

Thanks for finding out that information.
