no business, no parking

Flyer,
They could actually sell the rights to commercial service plazas much like the ones found on toll roads. The rights to such would be of huge value. Especially to the oil companies. Doing so, would give the Pilots, TA's, FJ's, and Loves of the industry incentive to bring drive down prices to get us off the big road.

 

There a a couple of truck Stops that I do eat at all the time. the George Webb in Peshitgo WI is one of them Very clean and well maintained. Food is reasonable also. Other wise I am also one that eats in my truck

 

I like the ma an pa truckstops too. They usually have some darn good food. I know their having a hard time, a good meal and good service get's a good tip. Most the times the waitresses are yapping on their cellphones instead of working. They get no tip.

 

With the exception of Flying J, NONE of the other TRAVEL CENTERS owns their own oil refineries. I fail to see why "BIG OIL" should be required to subsidize Private Corporations.
"BIG OIL" only makes their profits thru VOLUME, their profits, percentage-wise (8.5%) are SMALLER than Walmart or KMart for example. Perhaps THEY should subsidize travel centers as well?

 

I'd believe that if they actually had enough cashiers in this places to get you in and out. Most of them don't and heaven forbid that your trying one of these places at 0200. Will only have 1 cashier and hope they don't have a phone stuck to their ear.

 

zero, it's not arkansas, it's Tenn. Here in Arkansas we only got 3 pilots,1 flying j, one petro, and one t/a. i know your going to say all those in west memphis, but we decided to give west mempis to tenn....to much trash and junk there we don't claim it

 

yumm!!! black and blue bacon cheeseburger

 

I always thot those travel plazas were overpriced too. I don't see how that is gonna get the truckumups to come down on theirs.
