Good Sam forces Pilot / FJ to quit TSD discount program

[Winemaker2]

Anyone / everyone is free to enter into whatever contractual agreements they choose to.
We as consumer get to to give our business to whomever we choose to.
Just do business with the enterprise you would like to support... it is really that easy - no need to get upset, send email etc - they don't really care m- just take your business elsewhere.
We were big fans of the GS gas discount & convenience when we had a gasser - DP not so much and just quit going there.
It really is pretty EZ.
There have been multi posts that TSD is NOT encouraging complaining to either GS of PFJ - Why keep it up?

If they wanted RVers to pay a lower amount, all they'd have to do is change the price on the sign, since they're pretty much the only people paying that price. Truckers would still have their price regardless of what's on the sign, and RVers would get the benefit of a lower posted price, and be lured to using that station because of it.

No doubt it is on purpose, my point was those of us with a TSD card will move on where the discount is. Pilot gave that business up with the TSD account. When it is in there business interest they will open it back up. Currently they are not selling that fuel to us or TSD so they make no percentage on that fuel and they know it. Before they were making something even though it is not the inflated advertised price.

People paying the advertised price before still will until they find out about the other options.

Exactly, Just move to where you do get the discount, problem solved.

I’ve used my GS/PFJ discount exactly 0 times— and I’m not even sure my GS membership is still valid.

Problem is, sometimes Pilot is the least bad option. I’m currently camped in Jal, NM for work and buy about 1/3 of my diesel there. There is the Pilot ($$$ and clean) or the Allsups ($$ and nasty with sloooow pumps). With the GS discount, the Pilot would normally be around 40 cents higher, with TSD it’d be around the same. But thanks to GS, that’s no longer the case.

So assuming the discount is gone... what is a summary of what discount is best to sign up for if new. Say the names vs. just abbreviations since I am new to this. What travel apps are good and do they give the discount price or just current retail?Thanks!!!

I am a member of FMCA. Is that worth it? I had a flat but made it to a truck stop tire service (Love's I think). The insurance paid none of the labor since I got there. Roadside they would have paid for the labor but not the tire (??). Seems they should throw you $50 or something of the $500 (for a new tire and to change it) to encourage you to make it to a shop vs. just pulling over.

Could be TSD got caught in what would be considered re-selling fuel to RVs that are not a part of their owned fleet and that is in violation of the agreement between TSD and PFJ.

TSD may. have gotten caught with their hand in the cookie jar and they could possibly be getting off easy.

Everybody would be better off.

Professional Drivers would not have to deal with snooty rv owners concerned with some diesel on the dress shoes.

Rv owners fighting for every penny discounts.

Bitching about Truck stop food.

RVs taking up and feeling entitled to Free parking, Etc.Etc.Etc.

I was a professional driver, my truck not a company truck. There is truck stop educate, fuel pull forward away from the pump so the next guy can get in. I would pull the truck in behind an RV as it will finish fueling long before another commercial rig. I would take on 150 -200 gallons at a time check all fluids, wash the windshield, and check all 18 tires tires before pulling forward. I have to go to the fuel desk for receipts.


The RV may take on 100 and wash windows. If it's a big truck behind you, he should be 15 - 20 minutes, you'll have time for a quick pit stop and to grab a snack before he's done.



I do agree, do not spend the night!! Parking for big trucks is at a premium, they can not head to the RV park to over night. Why would you want to stay in a lot with a hundred idling trucks? Want lunch or a short stop? Park and leave as most trucks will be on the road.


I would say two rules for RV's in a truck stop.

1. Do not block the pumps
2. Do not take up truck parking long term.

Yeah in that situation it sucks. Maybe a Penfed card and get fuel at the front pumps when not hooked up? Should get you 5 percent when used at the pump. It's what I do when not traveling in the RV. Yesterday I bought Diesel for 2.21 at a WAWA and I will get 5 percent off of that as an example.

That Penn Fed card is not available anymore.

I have a TSD card. This is what I was thinking as well.

Well, maybe you should voluntarily turn it in. That would be the right thing to do. You surely wouldn't want to be a part of an illegal scheme.
