    I can hear the answer now....
    Oh, you're a short-timer? We got a local load in Taylor for you! When you're done with that, West Memphis, then do some locals in Laredo until you die or retire!

    Kinda happy we switch to loved and no more pfj.... For every dirty ofj there's like 3 clean loves from what I can tell.... Plus the loves showers are a huge upgrade also the point system is far better... Never had a bad loves shower.... Downsides though..... Not many locations have laundry and no reserved parking to spend points on Incase of a rough day...out of curiosity. How often does everyone here reserve a parking spot... I typically do it once or twice a week. I need to cut back.

    Long fuel lines. I expect to start missing appointments. I never have in the past. At some time, they will have to decide if the savings is worth the missed appointments.

    Why cut back?
    Doesn't cfi still reimburse parking?

    They do but I still liked to use my pfj points towards them so I didn't have to do a reimbursement... Honestly besides the laundry and no reserved parking I actually prefer loves so no complaints here. I heard they used to be #### holes but now a days it seems loves is the only truck stop that's almost always actually seems clean...

    Ultratowel,

    Loves are indeed the cleanest and newest of the big 3 travel centers. They are also privately family owned and do not answer to shareholders.
    I personally prefer Petro over other stops for larger parking lots, well lit buildings and sit down restaurants. I also have chosen my driving hours at nights to take advantage of less trucks in the stops which means less trucks trying to park or fuel.
     
    RoadRooster and Ultratowel Thank this.

    Why would you use your personal points balance for company paid items? Those points are for you to use on stuff for yourself.

    In the end, you’re still spending “your” money. It’s your choice.
