So many drivers already avoid the Pilots, that if they turn the J's into Pilot-clones, they (pilot) will be losing double the business, as drivers will begin to avoid the clones, as well.

The new Pilots, with the brand-new automated shower system? Has anyone noticed....

I'm OK with Pilots, they're not perfect, but actually are my first preference as are Loves. Flying 'J's are too money hungry. First, their pay phones are all owned by 'J', Their fax services/scanner machines, the same. They quit taking Com-Data years ago, you won't see idle-aire at a 'J'. They want to be 100% in control of their facilities. They have one way of doing things and won't budge. Most have only one driveway in and out. All the restaurants are identical. Even the closure of restrooms to clean them. None have Cat scales, it's their own brand. True, they built over 200 new facilities over the last 15 years, but still, they are in Bankruptcy. You would think a truckstop is a goldmine, what with all the fuel they sell and 4 wheelers stopping there to buy those high priced sodas and candy bars. They have a minimal staff on duty, getting paid $6 an hour, with a $30k a year manager on duty. The 'J',s have their own deli and pizza menus, no franchise fees for a Wendys/Subway etc. So, what happened? What does Pilot know that the hook don't?
