    They are looking at the Fly.J fuel rebate discounts but are not saying what in particular they are looking for. I'm guessing it is the paybacks to fleets to use the J for fuel.

    I do NOT want to sit in --any-- truckstop lounge tv room, they are generally nasty with deformed broken chairs that have a crust of feces on them from the drivers that sit in them all day and haven't changed their clothes in a month, you are likely to see drivers sleeping in the chairs at night as to not sleep in their trucks because its likely trashed and/or cant idle due to not having any money or bfi company. I like the fast food chains in the pilots..at least I know what im getting rather than spending 10$ for a restraint meal at a TA and getting worse than a regular cheeseburger at mcdonalds. the pilot I go to has had its showers updated twice in the last few years and as far as parking is concerned I don't want to park in the TS yard anyway, I make money driving not sitting around.

    Screw pilots and Fly J, too stupid to put the toilet paper roll above the toilet so it can be utilized instead of a arm or over the toilet causing me to lean. I end up using the towels instead because i cant reach that low between the seat and the poorly located and installed dispenser!

    I make money driving but not the dollar a mile crap so I sit somewhat. Tv room at most Ta/petro's are decent. Pilot wants you gobble up them cheeseburgers, soon they'll be selling cpap machines.Pilots have more thugery going on in the parking lots to.

    I don't know what Pilot that dude is going to, but I HATE those places.
    Maybe it's the 1/2 hour wait to get to the fuel pumps.
    Maybe it's the fact that you have to take your #### driving test to park in one IF you can even find a spot. I have a theory that the reason their lots are so small and screwed up is that they don't want you to stay there; just get youre fuel and get out.
    I never used them before my current job, and it sucks.
    They don't have what the DRIVER needs, they have what the COMPANY wants- cheap fuel for large fleets.
    That why you never see O/O's in there
    They have a choice.....
     
    truckbuddha and snowblind Thank this.
