yep, just saw a Prevost for sale on FB. Owner says he intends to fly instead.
Richard may be preparing for a Prevost in future.
Yep, the fuel prices will test the conversion owner resolve. Just like last fuel spike in  maybe 2008?
No problem for diesel in PA. Cliff, election over in AZ so they can resume screwing the public.🤣

People buy fuel before PA so you should have plenty we get the CA truckers to escape the CA prices

We are at $3.05 where I buy fuel I don't complain much but a $1.66 was better last year than $3.05.I don't really like use the Bio fuel so I pay a few cents more for the real stuff we have stations that offer both so I don't have to deal with Pilot and Loves

Only if it comes with its own driver and a prepaid maintenance account.

Parts and Labor has gotten so exspensive now on anything.I always buy blower gaskets 6 at a time 2 years ago they cost $4.28 ea I ordered 6 last week and I had a runaway when they billed me $19.82 ea for blower mounting gaskets lol a friggn piece of paper.Jake brake tune kits up to $500.00 from $145.00 if you can find one, once they reach high prices you can forget about it going down

Just finished a 1600 mile road trip. What's with Loves charging from .50 to .80 more per gal. of diesel?! Everywhere they were much more than their competitors in FL, GA, TN, SC, & NC... Wtf?

That's the retail price. The truckers with account cards are not paying that price.

None of these places are too worried about retail pricing with most of the fuel is going out on account.

All of us should have some form of fuel card, don't pay retail price at a truck stop!!!

Happy coaching!

At the RV pumps at Loves in AZ fuel is lower than at the trucks pumps without a card but still over priced with a fuel card here.This summer I used the talked about fuel card here at Loves and they gave me a whopping 11 cents a gal off their inflated prices lol but I didn't have to pay the got you 6 cents a gal for a credit card,that is the fee I dislike the most it is a big rip off for profit.I can do a lot better with my Shell,Texaco and Maverick credit card than a fuel card at Loves or Pilot

To get the benefits out of a fuel card you have to buy fuel at the places where they've negotiated the best price. Right now Loves is not giving much discount for the TSD card, but I believe TA is. They have an app that shows the discount pricing.

Unless Loves or TA among other brands are giving .50 to .80 per gallon discount - it's better just to stay away from them. While I was pumping at Circle K for 3.39/gal I was talking to a local who told me to go 5 mi. down the freeway to a QT that it was the cheapest diesel in the area. When I pumped my 1st $100 pump limit I moved on to the unadvertised QT for the next two $100 pump limit for 3.21/gal. That saved me $36! Glad I talked to a local! Geeze... Meanwhile.Loves & TA's prices are in the 3.80s - BS!  >:(

If you have a Cintas location, at least here, they sell used rags at so much per pound. They have been cleaned along with all the rest and damaged are sorted out. Check it out.
