Their buttons to pick product on the pump didn’t work on the trucker side. Two times I had to move and there is no call attendant button to get them to kick it into gear for you. Avoid until they fix their shit

Truckers be warned: the truck parking lot dead ends with no warning so you might have to back out two hundred feet with several irate truckers behind you. The restaurant is closed and appears to be a storage room... no other options other than day old truck stop food. The entire building has one booth(!). Try the rest area up the road if you don't like drama.

I booked a shower through the pilot Flying J app, and it showed I was next in line. It’s been over an hour and a half, and I’m still waiting. There are three open showers, but no one is cleaning them. The employees just don’t seem to care — they’re extremely lazy and unmotivated. This is very disappointing for a place like Flying J.

They charged my credit card $151 plus the $35.34 For gas. When I called the Northfield MN location I was told that the company that provides the pumps to them charges everyone $151 which is credited back after their gas purchase clears the bank. TERRIBLE WAY TO DO BUSINESS . Whoever is in charge of the decision to go with that pump company should be fired! I will NEVER PURCHASE from Pilot Flying J again until that policy is changed!
