    I like the Pilot/flying J program and the Loves. I don't have a TA card. I did but lost it. My company makes us fuel at all 3 truck stops. I like the Pilots because the Flying J's have tons of showers and very little wait.. I like the loves also because once you get over 1,000 gallons in a month. The showers for the next month are unlimited.

    I like Petro's the best but always have been on Pilot and Loves fuel programs. All of them are about the same. TA used to make you get a certificate in $5 increments. So if you have more than your purchase you lose.

    All of them have been the same for 20 years. It's about time for a point raise.

    For amenities pilot/flying j, loves and T/A, Petro are all pretty much the same. I prefer the T/A for the restaurant nice to have a hot sit down meal, pilots have nice showers and they're always clean, loves has a better points program than pfj in my opinion but that's me.

    Downfalls pfj never has anyplace to park more so with the pilots than the flying j's but still no place to park.

    Loves eh don't care for their showers at all seems like I always get the dirty ones or the ones with the shower head that's screwed up.

    T/A won't even touch their fuel pumps anymore. It might have changed since the last time I fueled at a T/A but the diesel was worthless. No pulling power, lots of smoke, took 2 bottles of tranny fluid to clean my injectors in my pickup after that does of fuel. Didn't care for it much at all. They all have their perks and their down falls. I'm still partial to the small mom and pop truck stops myself.

    this is a really cool thread! Thanks for starting it! T/A/Petro showers, I think are the BEST! They have a very "homely" feel to them than the others. parking at most,I work for an East Coast carrier, so can't say much for them on the other side of the Mississippi...seem to be plentiful and easy to get out of! Loves are nice....HATE THEIR SHOWERS! Either, it's hot as h3ll(summertime) or cold(wintertime) in them, plus I feel like I'm in a high school gym! lol parking isn't all that bad in them...easy to back in...pull out of! NOW, Pilot/FJ is different. Showers CAN be nice......MAJOR kudos for them remodeling the showers.....ALOT nicer. Parking is a TOTAL B1TCH!!!!!!!!! they are REALLY tight spaces! I've had alot more problems either backing in...OR pulling out(9 times out of 10...it's pulling out!)...Sturbridge is the ONLY exception as far as easy in and out...if you get in there early enough for a spot! Winchester in a TOTAL NIGHTMARE! Either backing/leaving/ H3LL.....EVEN FUELLING!!!!!!!!!!!! lol My favorite is def....PETRO! Iron Skillet is awesome...love that place! Bout sick and tired of Country Crack! lol Keep this post going!
