    Those signs look a lot smaller than they are once they are way up in the air.

    Them loves signs may have been for one of the 2 pilots at that exit. Pilot/flying j did sell some locations to loves during the merger. Maybe all the former pilots don't have the new signs up yet.

    And how hard would it be for somebody to call them at I-80 and ask them?
    I would, but the overseas long distance fee is a killer.
    Come on, somebody use your any time minutes and put this rumor to rest.

    let's make up a better rumor: I heard ron paul say that Iowa 80 was in fact a FEMA death camp. It all makes sense now...

    I heard that all Petros are gonna be converted to "Flatbed Only" parking and that anyone with a van that tries to enter one will be sent to the new FEMA death camp in Walcott, IA.
     
    Higgy, Les2, Joetro and 5 others Thank this.

    All truckstops will seriously overcharge for stuff like that because in most cases they have a captive client base.
    I carry spares with me for my lights and I carry a gallon or two of oil as well because I don't like paying the inflated truck stop prices.

    I don't think of it as a rip off....It's just good business as far as I'm concerned.

    For those that don't prepare and get caught in the middle of nowhere without the required parts to fix their truck....There is a "convenience markup".
    If I owned a truckstop, I'd do the same thing!
