truck stop ettiquete

I have been driving a 38' DP and using mostly the RV lanes for fuel. I am purchasing a 42' DP and I think it may be time to suck it up and start using the truck lanes. What is the proper procedure for getting fuel in those lanes? I haven't seen any "pay at the pump" islands in the truck lanes.

Thanks.
  • My experience, like those above...Pilot/Flying J, easy. However, Loves is a PITA, I don't stop there.
  • We use the Pilot/Flying J all the time with their Good Sam Card. As GM & JM says you just swipe the card put in you number and fuel. I just write the gals. and $$ in my notes and don't bother with a receipt; just drive away. Usually you are done in less than 15 minutes. Pilot debits your bank once a month.
  • At Pilot/Flying J, look for the separate truck entrance, pull into line or up to a pump, put in your Good Sam-P/FJ credit card, enter your code and start pumping fuel. Get DEF if you need some while you're at it.

    Get the receipt at the pump sometimes. Other times you have to go in for a receipt. Pull up to the yellow line or have your co-pilot do so when done fueling.
  • I go inside and give them my credit card, fuel up and then pull forward if I want to go back in for receipt etc.
