    I don't think it was the Pilot that ran them out of business, fuel sales was not what they thrived on. A little over a year ago the older people who owned it sold it, the new owners changed it, and not for the better. What they made their money on was the restaurant, they had great food for a reasonable price. The new owners had crap food and it cost more, they also came off as arrogant to me, was not surprised when I seen it closed down.

    Its not always the big boys that cause the little guys to fail. Often times its bad business practices.

    Well his trucking company was shut down by the FMCSA. Maybe that's why the truck stop shut down.

    It was in San Diego, CA. Ship With Sam/ Jesus Christ is Lord, Not a Swear Word trucking. I used to shake my head at the trucks, but getting older, even as an atheist, I thought, there is a lot worse things to have as a message.
