Gas at the big boy pumps @ Flying J

Hi, just planning the route for our summer vacation and I'm planning on stopping at a Flying J for gas. Will there be a gas pump by where the big rigs fill up or do I have to try and swing my truck and trailer through the car pumps by the convenience store?

(seems silly I know but there aren't any of these type of service stations around home)

Thanks
Scott

    I don't think there is a gas pump in the diesel lanes.
    They may have a RV Island with a gas pump.

    To make it a little easier, check for gas stops along your route and look on Google Maps to see how difficult it may be getting your rig to the gas pumps.

    And, don't wait until you need gas to start looking for an easy access fuel stop.

    The Flying J on I65 just south of Montgomery, AL does have gas and diesel and also a tank dump in the RV lanes. They also have propane.

    we've used Flying J stations many times and always used the regular auto pumps.
    never had to use the truck pumps side.

    You will never find gasoline at the truck lanes at a truck stop (i.e. FlyingJ, Loves, T/A, Pilot, etc)....

    Many will have gas/diesel at an RV lane.... In most cases, you'll have to find a pump on the outer edge of a regular car island.

    Look at their website. They have a doc the lists all off the stations that have a rv island back by the semi area.

    We like a book " The Next Exit ", It lists rv friendly stations by interstate exit.

    A little off subject but yesterday on I-75 at Ocala Fl fuel was $2.67, one mile east on 441 fuel was $2.17 per gallon . A fifty cents difference , that is why I never fuel at the Flying Crud .
