Flying J diesel price
I just came by Flying J in Seffner Fl. and the price of diesel was 3.45 per gallon. The highest of any fuel station I have seen in weeks. The price down the road at Racetrac was 3.05 and Hess was 3....

I think C-Bears response is EXACTLY why many of us don't go to Flying J or other truck stops. I'm in a motor home and 65' long, which is much more difficult to negotiate in tight spots than a fifth wheel, yet many of us use regular gas stations without issue.
Sure, we shouldn't be whining about a few cents a gallon, but do you laugh at .35 - .50 cents a gallon as Flying J has been charging at a LOT of locations.
No waiting behind cars while people are shopping. How about waiting behind trucks while they're shopping and yacking. Oh....and while you're waiting, you can stand in the spilled diesel fuel covered with absorbent material for the third time.
Best part....if you need a break, you can take a few minutes and rest....after you spend 20 minutes threading your away around a bunch of parked, idling trucks with their refers on. Then hope that someone doesn't block you in because they don't like RV's.
If you're not comfortable maneuvering your vehicle at other than a truck stop.....just say so. Giving us a bunch of reasons why they are better doesn't fly, because we've all used them at one time or another.
I actually am very comfortable maneuvering my TV and fiver anywhere.
When I am fueling at truck stops I always remember that is where trucker's fuel, eat, shower, and rest. It can be there home away from home. Some of the drivers probably are not thrilled with larger RVs taking up space in their lanes when they are on the road making money. I can surely understand that.
The difference between you and me is that I respect that. I respect them and throw them a greeting if I make eye contact with them while fueling or going in and out of the building. Instead of sticking your nose up at them, which seems pretty obvious by your rant on the subject, try striking up a conversation with one of them.
Who knows, you might learn something or gain some insight from someone who drives a rig a lot bigger than yours and completes about 100,000 miles a year up and down these highways.
