I have a couple questions. First of all I am a RV transporter and drive for Foremost Transport.
#1-as I tried to park for the night at the North Platte, Nebraska when I pulled into the lot all RV spaces were filled with Crete bobtails and I counted 22 Crete tractors parked most running in the RV / auto side of the Flying J building. This is just wrong when I’m an RV transporter and you fill the RV lot with semi tractors. If you want our business you should cater a bit to help us. Your lot looked like a Crete terminal more than a truck stop. Flying J should not be a parking lot for company of truck fleets. I had to move on down the road to find a place to park as I was almost out of hours. So I bought fuel the next morning there. As I did had to go in and use the Flying J bathroom there, when I came out there were 3 more RV’s out there looking for a spot to park. Some were RV transporters some just families needing a spot for the night. Is this the way all Flying J’s are going to operate? Love’s and others are putting in RV parking spots, but don’t allow tractors in RV spots.
#2-is why don’t any pilot or flying J’s offer breakfast sandwiches Without Cheese? Not all of use can do cheese. Just say’n.
I was just at your store in Prosperity, SC #4580 and I must say, after running a truck stop in the 90s, how far customer courtesy and respect for truck drivers has gone a alltime low with this store. Spent 12 hrs there and came in about 9pm last night, used the restroom which is a breeding ground for Covid-19 by itself. Was told their was not a soul to clean the showers, hell I even offered to clean the shower myself and still pay. Came back in this morning at 7am, still not one clean shower, but about 5 workers in that store. Now I know if I was an employee none the less a Manager, the care of my customers is my first priority. I would have assigned another worker to clean them showers instead of rudely turning customers away. Now them bathrooms, which paper and dirt in corners still there, 12 hrs later, tiolets and counters have not been clean, outside the bathrooms in the hall their was paper and garbage on the floor, coffee station was a mess. With all the damn money this corporation generates yearly you would think your workers would be in the thought process of the customer, yet more and more they are not. I will be recommending my company to make a change in where I fuel and to further look into a new company to deal with. You need to over haul this store no doubt since your workers here are about a lazy as a Sunday hammock.
I am at the Flying J in Spiceland IN and its 5 am and the showers are closed because they have no one to clean them !! This makes the second pilot/ flying J this week with shower issues ????
Went into the Pilot store 1281 Lake Powell Travel Plaza. Cashier’s and Assistant Manager were extremely rude. One cashier yelled at customer in front of me for giving change, stating she hated people like him and that she did not know how to count change back. Assistant Manager was standing at register so I assumed she was free and her response when I walked up was “uh. No. I’m busy” and did not redirect me to an open register. Horrible service. Pumps would not accept payment and was forced to pay inside. Air compressor was out of service. Basic needs weren’t met.
This morning (4/28/21) at Pilot #405, Memphis, TN I went in for a shower. I was customer 16… shower #1.
Where do I even begin..
1) there was a highly concerning amount of black mold.
2) the caulking in the shower is very damaged.
3) it doesn’t look like the area around the toilet is being properly cleaned and sanitized since there appears to be a (collective) urine stain.
4) the vent cover is completely gone, exposing a disgusting, dust filled duct.
5) the mirror hasn’t been properly cleaned in what appears to be eons. I took my rag, wiped the mirror, and discovered that it’s covered in soap scum.
In the Women’s restroom, it’s apparent they aren’t doing regular cleaning and sanitizing.
The handicap stall has urine all on the seat, no toilet seat covers, trash on the floor.. and it was just 7:00 in the morning.
The staff here (with no exceptions) do not appear to want to be at work. No one takes pride in their work place. A female employee (I believe her name was Charlotte) walked out of the door by the diesel pumps as I was approaching. At first, she opened the door and just stood in the door way. I said good morning and she just looked at me and rolled her eyes. I went to grab the door to slide past her and said “excuse me, can I sneak by?” She let out an annoyed sigh and exited.
This place has been in a tailspin for a few years. It used to be a place I enjoyed coming to. Now, I honestly try to stay as far away as possible because not a single person employed here makes me feel welcome.
As if the job of an over the road truck driver isn’t hard enough sometimes. I stop at store #478 in Leavenworth, IN. this morning for a shower. Got assigned shower #4 The towels were rust and grease stained. The shower had so much black mold everywhere I almost threw up. The walls were so filthy I actually thought it would be cleaner and more sanitary to take a shower with the water hose at the fuel island. Seriously Pilot/Flying J. Not all of us drivers are 3rd world, turbin wearing, Sandle wearing, pajama bottom, flip flop wearing, filthy slobs. This was one of the worst showers I’ve come across. I wish I could post pictures.
Your stop at Winona ms. Off of I-55 today has been removed from my frequent stops after 10 years. It has been in steady decline for a year but today it hit rock bottom
1. Coffee machines in disarray
2. 10 ways to have medium or light roast 0 dark
3. Icee machine was down
4. Fountain drink machine was down
5 ice machine was down
6. The entire store was filthy
7. The bathrooms was equivalent to a ports Jon
No one even seemed to care!!
Guess I will have to make plans for the loves truck stop an hour south
We winter in Florida from lowa. Been doing this for 7 years now and use the same 5 pilot flying j travel centers with rv lanes. Out of the 5 we use 3 had touch screens out of service in October when we headed south to Florida and when we came back to Iowa in April they were still not working. Can’t believe how run down these rv lanes are. Very disappointing especially in the pandemic we are in. The last thing I wanted to do was go inside to get the pump authorized for my use. Also the $75 dollar limit at the ones that do work should be raised to $100. When i fill up sometime i need to put in $175 dollars worth of gas. Frustrating to again have to go inside to get the pump authorized for a third transaction for gas.
Your pilot in rocker Montana will be facing a federal law suit. They are not familiar with the Americans with disabilities act. I went to enter and the man behind the counter asked if I had a mask. I replied I cannot wear a mask . He told me I had to because of the mask mandate the county has imposed. I informed him that the county cannot override federal law. He called the police. I’m a trucker who has no where to use the bathroom now or anything to eat this thanksgiving evening. I called the manager Carrie who also informed me that the county can override federal law. I recorded that conversation to present in court. As your name is on the signs out front I will also be including corporate in my lawsuit. Very unprofessional and very sad that you refuse service to the very people that supply your businesses. Without us you have no business!!
I got a shower in a Pilot Travel Center store #332 in North Little Rock, AR The shower was very dirty and the towels smelled bad I don’t know where to report this.
But it is the first time what this has happened me in a Pilot or Flying j for many years I have used this service and it had never happened the shower dirty, today yes. Disappointment
I just wanted to take the time to tell you what an amazing team member you have in the Lufkin, Texas store. I stop in your store each morning Monday- Friday, around 3 a.m., and I am greeted with a smile and treated with the utmost respect and kindness by a young man name Matt. He always goes above and beyond as an employee, even when he is swamped with customers and doing his daily duties. I have also noticed that he shows the same kindness with ALL his customers!
I spent MANY years in management for convenient stores and as a General Manager for a major fast food restaurant chain and if I would have had employees like Matt I would have never left that field.
Thank you for employing such a great young man!!
Today as I was trying to merge onto I75 going northbound from Lake Panasoffkee, Fl. One of your trucks # 3957 was going northbound in the right hand lane. I was waiting for it to either pass me by or slow down to allow me to merge. The truck did not do either. It kept it’s constant speed which forced me to the end of the merging land and into the area with all the debris on the side of the on-ramp. I feel that this was a dangerous situation that your truck driver put me in. I say that because I couldn’t just stop on the on-ramp since there was a car coming up behind me and driving into the debris could have resulted in damages to my vehicle. This happened 10/09/2020 approximately about 515pm. I just thought you should know that your driver is not a courteous driver and they are a poor representative for your company.
I would like to make a complaint on your store in Odessa Texas. This store has to be one of the worst with customer service . It is 3:27 a.m. and The employees have nothing for a driver to eat I’m meaning warmed up in the cases that you all have for drivers to get food no even a biscuits, no breakfast burritos know nothing h*** there’s not even a cold sandwich to warm up. I guess I’ll start Stopping at the T/A’s and petros again , And you guys are also price gouging the truck drivers during the time of Colvin 19 your stuff as dam near doubled It’s ridiculous maybe all the drivers will boycott this place after the election.
At the Pilot on Baptist Rd. in Monument Colorado, Sybil and many other associates were wearing their masks on their chins, not even trying to protect others. I will try other truck stops to see if they are more concerned about me.
Let me call this exactly what it is a bunch of trash! Out here on the highways a driver don’t get any respect nowadays especially from the truckstops they have all their prices inside their stores marked up where can’t afford to buy I drive for a company who buys all their fuel from pilots and flying j and the drivers can’t lay down and rest because the owners don’t have enough money so they want to wake you up in the middle of your 10 hour break because their bullshit reserved parking space isn’t marked very well at the very back of their parking lot. I guess charging drivers 15 dollars a night to park is how the owner bought a billion dollar NFl football team the parking prices will probably double when football season starts because of the COVID-19. If I was fortunate enough to own a trucking company I wouldn’t buy 1 cent worth of fuel at a place who charged to take a break.
I was just at the Flying J On Chestnut Expressway in Springfield, MO. It was the worst I have ever been treated as a consumer. First, they accused me of stealing. Then, when I overlooked it and asked where the medication was located, the employee, Kim, just stared at me like I wasn’t speaking to her. It was awful. If I didn’t need to get medication at that moment, I would have left without making a purchase. I will never goto a flying J again and if the owner of that store knew how bad his 3rd shift employees were, they would all be fired asap!
There is currently a mandate on wearing masks inside of any public building in San Antonio, Texas. At your Pilot Flying J on I-10 at Foster Road they are not complying. I saw multiple people over and over and over again coming in and doing business without wearing a mask and nobody telling them anything. There is currently a $1,000 fine for a company that doesn’t do this, I think it might be per person, and it’s also very unsafe for the people that care about their health. You should really be doing something about it.
Store #608, Ehrenberg AZ: We stopped for fuel at your station twice during the week of March 1-7, 2020 on a trip from Rancho Mirage CA to Scottsdale AZ and return. Both stops were near disasters and involved having to change pumps a total. Of 3 times in order to find one that was operable. Major problem was key pads that were unreadable due wear. Contact with office was impossible, and though screen indicated assistance was in route, it never arrived. Further, receipt once fueling was finally completed never appeared. Basically, your pumping stations were poorly maintained, and though your prices were attractive, they weren’t worth the frustration experienced.
I’m at the store 729. All bathrooms and showers are completely down. Lady manager told another customer to go pee behind a tree.. if all facilities are not working why hasn’t store managers brought in portable johns
Stopped at Pilot in Winona Ms. This place is disgusting. Stopped to fuel and reserved parking and bathrooms, RESTAURANT, and entire store was filthy. Then went in the next morning, bathrooms were still filthy and entrance door windows were still not cleaned nothing had been cleaned. Noticed a guy on golf cart on the first night, back up to the woods just sitting there and trash all over grounds. He never picked up one peice of trash. The employees here are lazy and rude. Will never return to this store. I hope corporate takes action this is inexcusable!
We stopped at your truck stop on I-80 Exit 215. The gas prices were though the roof so we only put in $15 worth. Decided to get something to eat. The parking lot was in bad shape. Grass and weeds were out of control. Went inside and immediately smelled an odor. Unsure what it was. The place looked really run down. Only 2 customers there. We sat down, the waitress came over immediately. Menus were only a page printed on both sides. Prices outrageous for the area. Got a drink. I could not order food!!!
Could only imagine what the kitchen looked like…. I told the waitress I’m not ordering from this place..
Felt sorry for her….she apologized and said she was sorry if she offended us.. By all means she did NOTHING wrong. It was the condition of the establishment. We left her a tip and left.
We have been in many other Flying J’s and none of them are in that bad of shape. We will never set foot in that building again. #700
I’m so very upset I’m at the Flying J in Phoenix AZ off of 67th ave & the I-10 I was just thrown out of my Handicap Spot by the Security Guard he was a complete ass i have my placard & handicap I parked in a handicap spot bobtail & because I did not have a trailer on me I was told to move or get thrown off property. I will be calling my Lawyer & the local news station about this & will follow this through till the end this is not ok to do to anyone that is handicapped and I was in my truck in sleeper birth. When I asked for his name he refused to give it to me,,
I’m at you location in checotah ok … no one in line for a shower it was 11:40 PM at night no one was taking care of the showers I finally went out to my truck to leave got notified at 12:25 that my shower was ready as I’m starting my truck to go I sat there for over 35 minutes . Nobody doing anything at this location. I have never ever had anything Bad to say about the flying J but this location needs to be shut down or re staffed ….

Dear Corporate,
Please look at all the reviews on google maps for PENN 80 store number 555. Located at 1460 N Ridge Rd, Milton, PA 17847. Its website is penn80milton.com. FlyingJ should remove its name from this location. I cannot believe they are meeting whatever standards you require for your stores. The only good thing is the amount of parking but even that has car sized pot holes. Again, please review google map reviews from truckers and you will read what I and others have seen first hand!
I have been stopping at this location around 10 years or more …Flying J Waddy ,Ky. I have never been treated like I have last night and today. Last night it took over one hour to get served,people were leaving because they could not get their food. I went today, sat down with a friend..no one was at the hostess counter,I went to tell someone we wanted to order,she told me I would have to wait my turn. I went and sat down and she finally showed up with an attitude. I told her I did not have to be treated like that and a few words were spoken…not nice ones! I paid for two nights parking and cannot eat here….
Store# 644 is the worst I even been in, the bathroom was not clean toilet paper all over the floor, sinks was dirty. The showers had soap scum all over them, shower hadn’t clean. I feel if the staff do not want to do there job then they shouldn’t be working here.
I just wanted to give praise to Pilot 4562. I am from Tampa, Florida and we recently took a trip up north. On our return I unknowingly left my cell phone in the store. On return home we searched everywhere thinking it was in the car. It was not, a few days later my daughter received a phone call from my phone from the employees of the store saying they had the phone. Long story short, they went to the trouble of mailing my phone back to me, something they definitely didn’t have to do! It’s nice to know there are still honest people in this world. Thank you so much for your integrity and the effort you went through to send my phone back! I give this store 5 stars!
I was at you store off I-26, in Bowman SC.
This employee had a blue shirt on, I believe her name was Dorthery.
This was the most rude, ill mannered, and disrespectful woman that I have ever seen. I am spending my money here, there was no cause for this. I wanted to see what her problem was.
So I stood there for about 20 minutes just to see if I was the only one having a problem. Well, I was not. If a white person came to the counter, this woman was mean. If a black person came to the counter, she was as nice as she could be.
Now check your check your cameras and see for yourself. I assure you I want be back ! And i will pass this on to all my Facebook friends and all the company’s in this area.
This is 100% wrong!!
Bring back my old flying j app. We drive an rv cross country and your new app does not tell me what stations have services that apply to my needs.
I pay for Prime Parking many many times, all many hours before my intended arrival because I know it’s going to be late. Twice now, I’ve arrived and not had a parking space because of cheap freeloaders who know the places they can get away with not paying.
The first incident was at 150 Park Plaza in Lebanon, KY .. Pilot #399. No spaces and the night associate said she had no one to enforce the parking.
The second incident was tonight, 05-18-2023 at the 6830 Franklin Road in Franklin OH, Pilot #9. No spaces and the two night associates said their General Manager said not to enforce Prime Parking because of Safety issues.
If Pilot Flying J stores are going to sell RESERVED PARKING, then they need to ENFORCE it. Stop taking drivers money when you can’t fulfill a service.
It is amazing to me that a company as big as you folks are can’t keep half and half for your coffee. I am in your Candor NC store at least twice a day everyday for coffee and they are forever running out of half and half. Poor management
I used to work at store 322 for many years and left on my own accord. I still shop at Pilot because I care about the employees as well as the store.
I was in your store in Springfield MO last week and I am there every week there was a driver in there who was parked in front of the scale he was cursing and degrading your employees. The manager came up and was as nice as could be but the driver kept cursing her and refused to move. Then he threatened her telling he was going to get her fired olive this store. The employees are friendly- always nice- they take pride in the store and it’s always clean. This store manager needs to be promoted to train your other stores she is great. I normally don’t write but thought your company should know about this lady. Her name is Kelly and her ladies that work there are just like her. They know is by name and treat us with respect and kindness. The guys from CTI truly appreciate this group and wanted you to know that.
