Flying J Travel Center

Since I don't drive OTR anymore, I love FJ! Actually, the only reason I come here is to get a full and an mt weight on the tanker, due to the nearby customer having no scale. The always seems pleasant to me. But, then again, I always try to give them an easy time of it as well. No secret there, really.

Well, this always happens at Pilot/Flying J. Bought a reserve parking spot, but all the spaces were full when I got here. Got with the folks at the fuel desk, and they told me where to park. (Had to park in front of the gas pumps next to the road). Was promised not to be disturbed while I sleep, so we will see. Just wish they would police the paid parking better. TA/Petro does a pretty good job. It's not fair to pilot or me when I pay to park, but other trucks are parked all over the place like a dang puzzle. But, atleast the folks at the desk were helpful and nice

Stopped here for fuel, dump and take on fresh water. Happily, I found all services in good working order and the service area clean. Diesel prices were in line with the surrounding area. The only negative is Flying J's policy of using biodiesel, which isn't good for my engine.

Got food at deli and it was really good. However we asked the young lady to fill the side cups to the top because they are always half full. She graciously explained that she was not allowed to because they are filled by calorie count. To Flying J Corp... This is absurd. Fill the darn cups and count how many calories are in a FULL cup. If you can't figure it out, hire a nutritionist.
