I think we missed a couple of points in our discussion:
When I talked about using FlyingJ or Pilot...I didn't mean to suggest that was all I used or the best to use...price etc.
I meant to convey that you can get in and out and not get jammed up with cars. The "Rv lanes" at a couple of them were no better then the regular non truck lanes...And I didn't see DEF at the RV lane pump at the ones I stopped at.
Also, I can plan my stops on a long trip and KNOW I can get fuel their and not stress trying to finding a good stop with my 38' 5th Wheel.
I never had to wait behind another truck in my 10 stops or so this year at "truck stops".
This is not a pro truck stop rant...just my opinion and observations.
Ditto, Ditto, Ditto, Ditto . . . even on the 38 foot 5th wheel. All except the waiting. I'd say I have to wait for a trucker to clear the lane 10-20% of the time, but it is almost never long as they are almost always courteous and time is money for them. A little longer wait equates to a longer break from driving, which is needed while travelling anyway. Getting in a hurry on the road is a recipe for stress and potentially other bad things.
