    But this doesn't help any of the drivers with assigned fuel stops . That's why the travel center chains don't worry about the driver . They give the carriers discounts and the drivers have to fuel there .
    I heard a trainer at a fuel stop explaining to a trainee how when they get a load they will get their fuel card authorized for enough fuel to make that delivery .
    I would never work like that .

    Yes but for every driver who will not work like that there are likely 10 who will.

    I saw a guy argue with a female cashier one night because he wanted to fill BOTH of his thermoses for free.

    I guess I'll stick with Pilot - Flying J . Quit going to Love's long ago because of their shower policy . Fuel at T/A - Petro usually cost more and I don't like their method of points redempion .

    $7-8 profit per pot easy

    Very easy too. Without thermos it's more like $30 per pot. No kidding.

    Here's another killer for you....uniform guy? Comes to your place and does rugs, uniforms etc once a week? 90k on commission on a good route, no kidding!

    I like Loves. At Superior we can fuel at TA/Petro, Pilot/FJ, Loves, Sapp Brothers and a few others. Loves gives you free showers and drink refills for buying 1000 gallons of fuel each month. I always shower first thing before heading out if parked there. There is always a line at night but generally not early in the morning. Once I get my 1000 for the month I bank a few TA and FJ showers.

    I took a road trip with my family last year and Loves let me refill 5 peoples mugs with soda or coffee every time we stopped.

    Loves has a line because they expect the person working the fuel desk nights to also clean the showers . Loves even has a sign at their fuel desk with instructions for their "express shower ' . Get a number and grab a meal or shop in the store while you wait .
    No thanks . I'll go to Pilot or Flying J amd swipe my card and go right to a shower instead of waiting at a Loves fuel desk for a shower key , waiting for a shower , then waiting to give the key back
