The Sad Destruction of Flying J by Pilot- catering to cars

pilots are the worst for friendliness, cleanliness and everything else. J just lost it all. I think i will try to stay at the private ma and pa joints that NEED and want truckers.

 

Flying J has no love lost from me, but in the slow times they have to do what they have to do to stay in business, turn a profit or they won't be ther for you at all.

Besides Denny's has a good some good food choices. It may add a clean spot that drivers won't recognize. It might be a good thing.

As far as this 4 wheeler crap, give me a break . You might be the one delivering the goods to the store, but no one needs a truck if those Socker Moms with the Rug Rats aren't there buying. And they are not the ones claiming to be a trained professional, yet time and time again I see more really bad driving from truck drivers not the 4 wheelers. Bottom line quit the whining.

If you want a say in what Flying J does buy there stock then you get a voice, If you think they care about losing a couple of drivers, they don't care anymore than your boss does.

 

Most of the drivers of today don't remember the way it used to be when we had to wait in line at the fuel desk to show our fuel receipts or give a deposit to get a towel and key to the shower.

Then return after the shower to wait in the line again to return the key and towel to get the deposit or receipt back this was a major hassle.You had to come inside to get the fuel turned on as well.

I remember when Flying J announced that they were developing the system to eliminate all of this waiting in line.I didn't believe it at the time but they prove me wrong.

Flying J had it's problems has do we all however we should all be grateful for much of what we take for granted today Flying J innovated and made possible.

 

Please show us the link to wear the J's are losing the tv lounges and other things we use.

Since the take over i have been fueling more and more at the J and every time i ask , are you guys getting rid of the drivers lounge, the same answer is, NO we are going to remodle them, replace the worn out furniture, and flat screen tv's

I shy away from the buffets, you would be surprised how many people , both staff and the public does not wash thier hands, before they go grazing at the buffet.
