    I have a rewards card for all 3 and wanted your opinions. Which do you like best? Which rewards seem to be better?

    There is a lot on info on the previous threads but the one I liked the best was dated 2006. I would like info from drivers that have used them in the past 6 months etc.

    No favorites really, but I like the newer Loves because of the spacious parking lots and because in the majority of parking spots but certainly not all of them, you can do a straight back. I'm talking newer Loves only. For showers, I prefer most but not all Flying J's. However, Flying J's are usually the most packed. I also wish the Flying J's offered more fast food options than they do since most of the time I don't have the time to eat at Denny's and also because I prefer most of the time to take my food back to the truck to eat. Other than that though, they are all about the same for me.

    Also, I like the fact that the Loves and the Pilots re-did their bathrooms last year. Unfortunately, most of the bathrooms at the TA's and Petros still suck.

    Of all the chains I am still a Petro fan . I can not stand Loves at all and NEVER use them anywhere . Pilot is just anther convenience store with fuel pumps and they also did the impossible.... they screwed flyingJ up even more than flyingJ was !!!

    Petro for a shower and a relaxing time in the drivers theater. Pilot is only good for the coffee.
