Flying J - Franklin, KY

Pilot/Flying J management believes in minimal staffing.

 

Ya don't clean the showers well,just another indiot who labels trk drivers as filthy pigs.

 

Reminds me of the time at a Loves in Lancaster, Tx. Where they neglected to put a towel or wash cloth in the shower and of course it was when I needed it the most so out I walked soaking wet with only my tighty whities on and asked the lady for my towels...So hard to get people to do there job..

 

ahhhhh....the good ol' Franklin, KY hook

it was about 11 pm on a veeeeery long day, i'm nasty as hell (i flatbed), dead tired (which usually means grouchy)

walked into the shower, looked around, walked back out and promptly hunted down the manager, who was at the fuel desk. I asked him if it were too much to ask for a shower that had been cleaned BEFORE i get to use it.

he accompanies me back to the shower, and asks me what the issues were..
well, lets see..the floor was as hairy as my ###, still had toothpaste and hair in the sink, shower still had the used wash rag from the last guy still hanging on the shower controls, "I dunno buddy, you tell me what the ####### issues are"

i wound up with a freshly cleaned shower, and 2 extra shower credits on my card.

 

After time a driver learns where to stop. And where not too. I never make a scene, I just leave. I call headquarters and tell them. I also remind them I drop about 8-9 Hundred at a time into my tanks. Give them My info, and ask for a case #. I would almost give $20.00 for a pic of the Manager in the head eating dinner. I could have some serious fun with that. T/A & others would be interested in that.

 

i never make a scene, i'm quite soft spoken, and never have to raise my voice...

but being a tattoo'd, 6'-1" ,270lb gorilla with a scowl that could strip paint, my point is often easily made, lol!
