Okay, today for the first time being a new driver i went to get fuel at Pilot flying J without mu trainer, so I got $766.87 value of fuel( receipt uploaded). I also the rewards card but I was told i have to call or activate it through the app which will take some time which I never had so I decided to go ahead and pump, then came inside to get receipt and I humbly asked for a cup of free coffee and the lady told me they don’t give out free coffee with an attitude. Of course I said being new, getting rewards card now ( not active yet) and I just got $766 value of fuel. My company gave 2 options to fuel either Pilot Flying j or LOVE’s and I am officially Love’s after this experience.

Too many paid parking spots. Don't tell me you care about us truckers then charge $20 to park. I'll go to T/A up the street and get fuel here and park for the night. You lost over $500 for $20..Good job.
