    Love's gives the best discounts. Small locations = less overhead. They can be as cheap as 1/2 a cent over cost, compared to .02-.04 over cost at other chains, if they are part of your fuel network.

    Don't forget the overcrowding...now that it says Pilot every Swift, Werner, Prime, etc will park there due to being able to buy fuel dirt cheap on their optimized network... Used to be there would always be a few parking spots left even at 3AM.

    I actually liked that restaurant too, good food for the money. It wasn't that great its just that it was something different from the same old glarp at the big box truck stops, and they already had a Subway there for a long time...


    So what made you leave Halvor Lines? I'm assuming that's what you meant by "old company having a drop yard in IGH, and being from South Bend..."

    Our fuel network consists of just about all of them. we get our best discounts at Sapp Bros and T/A tho. I fueled 4 times this last week at the T/A's across I-80 and didn;t pay over $3.00 gal
