With points so much better at Loves , Whats out of box reason to fuel elsewhere ?

The Loves in Three Rivers Tx is Huuuuuuuuuge -

But yes alot of em are Cracker Boxes

 

Yeah this one is about a mile south of 90 on the East side of 35 across the two lane from the TA.

 

I think I've visited that particular Love's. I recall it being at bit out of the way, and it was a small lot with lots of turns getting to it, but it wasn't busy and it was clean.

 

Yes that is not a bad Love's. I go there fairly often at least to fuel and sometimes for the night. Parking isn't bad usually thanks to the big Petro across the street.

 

I didn't know there was a Petro across the street. Is it new? I went at night so I couldn't see too much.

 

My last company had it set up where we could fuel at either Pilot/Flying J or Loves, so I tried to stick to Loves to get the most outta the points. (I managed Platinum every month for over a year). My new company however is strictly Pilot/J, so that’s where I fuel.

 

Then there are those companies that only activate your fuel card at particular locations for X amount of gallons. Swift was like that for company drivers. They gave you a fuel route. However, if I wanted to bypass a stop, like postage stamp sized Loves, I did so. Then I called or messaged dispatch to "reoptimize" my fuel route. It's computer generated and sometimes you had to get a ways down the road before it would stop wanting me to turn around and go back to the fuel stop from hell.

 

I try to avoid the bigger chain truck stops as much as possible.
Most of the mega fleets use the big chains and we know what they bring.
