FBI Locks Down Pilot Flying J Headquarters

I've heard Tom Ingram's name before. Who is he? From Arrow Trucking? Yup! They'll get fined a few million, make a billion and the Truck Companies and OO's won't see a dime. Don't worry, an unairworthy airplane worth 7 million could have bald tires. Replace the tires and it's airworthy or it could just be a C check (inspection) who knows. I hope the government finds them gulty and makes them price fuel lower than anyone else. It was 3.62 in SE VA yesterday.

In a statement after the affidavit was unsealed on Thursday, Jimmy Haslam, Pilot’s CEO, released this statement.

“I now understand more clearly the questions the federal investigators are exploring,” he said. “I value the relationships we have with our customers, our vendors and our team members across this country and regret that they have to go through this with us, but I trust and believe their faith in this company and its principles has never been misplaced.”

I guess you all know where not to buy your fuel at,right????

 

OOs , you should never be fueling at Pilot/the hook , unless you're getting a better deal than NASTC offers. Same for Loves.
And, Pilot/Loves showers Suck , and their parking lots are small.

 

in SC

Pilot/Flying J/ Petro in Columbia and Florence $3.89/gal

In Duncan & Piedmont, $3.44/gal TA and Pilot

Mebane, NC Petro $3.74

go figure

 

That's funny at the bottom of the story is a TA/Petro ad. Creative advertising, post below the scumbags story!

 

one of the comments in the landline story

hence, some of the companies that we work for are just as dirty as Pilot, if not worse

 

It would be great if the investigation would therefore expand into the practices of the trucking companies that have been ripping off fuel discounts for truckers. That would be quite the game changer, and might result in some nice settlements for truckers that have months or years worth of unpaid fuel discounts.

As I understand it the fuel discount varies from state to state. Is there any way for a trucker to know how much of a discount he/she is due and be able to track it and double check settlement checks?
