    I rarely fuel at big chains anymore . I will save my 20 to 30 cents a gallon and at the end of the year I can write myself a check and buy as many showers and as much coffee as I can stand .

    Most people (bigger carriers anyway) fueling at the big chains are getting 40-50 cents discount or rebate so why avoid them to save 30 cents? The company drivers have to fuel where they have to fuel.

    On a related note ... I had reserved parking tonight in Post Falls, ID at the J. But a crash and road closure is going to make that impossible. I called at 17:00 local time and PFJ was kind enough to refund the dollar value paid, as points in spite of their No Refund on Reserved Parking Policy.
     
    Oldironfan and tucker Thank this.

    I currently run for Danny Herman and we all get x5 points due to some deal they have with pilot/flying j. We have this in place until 1/1/2019. Last year it was in place also.

    Current balance 32489 in point

    I believe Danny Herman was one of the principles in the PILOT fuel rebate lawsuit. That is probably the reason for the high points rebates.

    I had 70000 points and got the 8" OTR GARMIN DEZL TRUCK GPS ....Idid it in Oregon because there is NO sales tax...so I didn't have to pay more than $599.99

    try doing that in California or Washington and that $599.99 will become like $660.00

    I drive all 48 so state taxes are different in each state. I was patient to wait for Oregon
