    They upped you guys to 50 cents after they started putting people in prison for cheating the drivers on discounts. And that was just for points lol.

    We get 10 points at PFJ. Of course when you factor in the 10 points per gallon, the one place they are cheaper for us is Phoenix. o_O

    I've gotten some bad fuel at them though, not the one in Phoenix, in Ohio, and ND.

    I just looked at their web site.
    It says 1 point per gallon of diesel. It didn't say anything about scale tickets or items bought in the store.

    I am a dedicated Loves guy because of their points system. Unfortunately, we dont have a Loves in Monroe, La. We do however have a PFJ. Five years ago, I went to work for a local company so I do have to stop by PFJ for scale tickets etc, but I dont buy fuel or other products.
    Just after I went to work for this company, PFJ staff asked me to get a card, so I did. Next time I went in, I swiped it for a scale & no points were assigned so I asked & they said it doesn't give points on a scale. I've never used it since.
    Loves gives points for anything you buy in a Loves & sometimes in the restaurants. Anything I buy for the company from a glad-hand rubber to a tire goes on my Loves card for points.
    When I leave PFJ, I feel like (in a Charlie Brown voice) "I got a rock".

    I dont see anything on their web site that indicates anything changed in that respect. I understood their explanation to say... fuel only. "One point per gallon of fuel".

    Do you know how much I got done today? A LOT. Do we have to fight over Pilot points right now? Who is that Schneider driver on "Snows Thread?" One of @gentleroger 's trainees?

    TA you get points for a candy bar if you swipe it. I've gotten some nice scores when one of our trailers needs tires or something lol.

    TA is going to phone number for everything too.

    I asked the girl at Love's about cash advance. I said," The pump offering me $25.5K cash advance, what would you do if I took that?"

    She says, "Only the first $200 is free.":D

    I'm confused. How does Tucker's odd looking cat change how many points I get for slushies at a Flying Petro?

    Care to point me in the direction of whoever's thread I should be perusing?
