    See above..dont believe the MSM talking up a recession..I am sure there will be a readjusting up ahead. We have an expanding economy and things are realigning but it's not at all doom and gloom at all

    I am the other way around, I never even called pilot a truckstop, ut for the most part I liked j's better than TA's. It doesn't matter what part of the country you are in most Ta's had erection eradication technicians, crawling all over the parking lot, twice as bad as J's or petros. But That was before they were all becoming one too. lol

    I was reading an article on ZeroHedge which mentioned the CASS Freight Index. Year over year it has been down for the last 8 months. That's to say this Jan, Feb, Mar, etc are less busy this year than Jan, Feb, Mar etc of the previous year.

    We are full throttle here in Wisconsin a lot of folks that's bit the dust either cashed out after the founder's died off and rather spend grandpa's cash or sold to big Megas and went to Ft Meyers.

    The pilot has shower power, and they're extremely convenient. They all give something useful to the industry....even Speedway. I wish we could get fuel there. I actually like working for companies where you can fuel anywhere you want

    Is there a place on this site where political discussion is allowed?
