    Here's the premise.....


    • A yearly membership that will reserve a space every night....

    • No Lot Lizards banging on your door at 2 am......
    • Better food in the restaurant......

    I avoid the big chain truck stops whenever possible. My favorite fuel stops don't take comdata, efs, or any other fuel card in general use. They generally only have 1 or 2 pumps...some have satellite pumps, some don't. They charge the same price...cash or credit. Lines are short, people are friendly, and the coffee still comes free with the fill-up. I like places that turn the pumps on for me WITHOUT my having to walk inside and leave a credit card or driver's license....or worse, make me have to guess how much fuel the truck is going to take to pre-pay.

    ...and ya ain't gotta worry about swift/jb hunt/schneider/etc. tearing your hood off while you are inside signing your fuel ticket.

    Yup. Places like that are still out there.
