Flying J files for chapter 11 protection

me too, but by waffle house!! they think bacon should be so crisp as to shatter into a million pieces if it were to be dropped!!

 

Well I receive my free xmas eve dinner from there. Boy did i have some gas. I could have every done every Christmas carol you can think of from my butt!

 

Yeah, What Roadmedic said.

 

the day after we heard this story, there were about 3 cites (eloy, phoenix, winslow) in AZ that had run out of fuel. during that week our dispatcher kept us informed of which J's were out, so we are trying to use more pilot's and t/a's instead.

 

They have in their flyer this week $130 satellite radio you can get from Sirius online for $20.

 

do we want more pilots, true the food at J's stink but at least they have salad it's not just the fast food crap

 

Everything about the chapter 11 filing has been posted. The truck-stops themselves were profitable. Liquidity problems at the refinery, pipeline and exploration subsidiaries led to the filing. It interested me that Flying J is owned by the family of its founder, the late O. Jay Call, who died in 2003, and the company's employees. Transport Topics 1/5/09.

Seems we have our own share of abandon truck stops in Indiana that have never been "rebranded". The Williams over near Indy was not picked up by Pilot it turn into a Road Ranger.

Y'all can say all you want about the J but I've never gotten a bad tank of fuel (unlike Pilot) from them. I don't eat in any truckstop....maybe once in a blue moon....I have my haunts (regular restaurants) that I go to along the road...you'd be surprise where you can park a tractor trailer.

Besides there is a corner parking spot in the last row of most Flying J's that has my name on it.

Not worried about the J at least they didn't ask for a bail out from the government like some companies we all know. Chapter 11....reorganization....so they are going to reorganize no biggie.

 

Bite your tongue!

You take a shower and Flyin' J takes a bath.

That ain't the reason.

Thars the reason.

WhAT?!
Donuts?
And become a cop hangout?

Can it then be said that Flyin' J is a good dump to take one?

YuP!
Seems Flyin' J misread the writin' on the wall.

WhAT?!
No million-dollar bonus?
