    The way I read it most of them should be ok as long as there corporate owned. Do they have TA or Petros similar to Road Ranger Pilots?

    I'm home for Spring Break. The kids are off from school this week. Normally we would be going to stay with my Mom for a week but she passed away last year.

    They said those places which are not authorized will be sent out in another message... and that a hard copy will be in the office of each terminal.

    Thank you. She passed last June. Abilene was great about getting me back. They told me to take all the time I needed. I even got a text and a card.
     
    Lonesome, JohnBoy and Silverdriver Thank this.

    Is good to work for a company that really cares about you. There many things I like about Abilene and one of them is that if you communicate your situation to them; they are willing to help you.

    I didn't know there were TAs that we could not use. For the record the TA in Jeffersonville OH is good to go. I got fuel there yesterday and now have points and a shower credit on my card.

    A word of warning. You can only sign up for rewards cards using the touchscreen kiosks in the stores and those things are a nightmare to use. The screen itself is dull and hard to read and the touchscreen is very finicky. I came close to giving up a few times. This was at the Petro in Raphine, hopefully they are not all like that. You only get a little paper slip from the kiosk as your temp card until the real one is mailed out. You enter either the card number or your phone number or pin at the pump when getting fuel. No need to go inside.

    Did you hear about this at the yard?. I didn't get a QC message mentioning this.
