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

Buzam - MOST highways to Kamloops, Kelowna, Meritte ETC -east (ha,ha - the only way you can go) have dedicated truck/rv pump areas.

Thanks everyone. I checked online and it doesn't seem like the one I want to stop at (Hope, BC) has an RV island. I'll just have to squeak it through the car section.

Truck lanes are diesel only. RV lanes work well getting in, sometimes difficult to get out. Outside lanes work well for RVs usually also. Always a challenge! Happy travels.

Get a Pilot/Flying J app for your Smart Phone.
Most all Flying J's have RV Islands and some Pilot also.
RV Island is on the app plus the Price of fuel.

I never said it was the flying J's fault... ALL I wrote was that I needed to find another stop , as I was not going to walk in all that CR@p

Generally semi lanes at Flying-J are Diesel only
RV lanes are dual fuel
Auto lanes,, at least one will be dual fuel

NOTE: With my gasser I sometimes use the outside lane at the auto islands

(Many J's the RV lanes are a pain to get out of .. Getting in is easy, but it's very tight exiting)
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

after a semi "nicked" it. Still have the radios

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 .

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