What fuel station do you usually fill up at? TA? Pilot? Road Ranger? But did you know that Love’s is Marvin Keller’s preferred fuel stop? Among their 560 locations in 41 states, Love’s gives us the best fuel discounts.
If Love’s isn’t practical within your specific area/route, TA’s and Petro’s locations are a great second choice. However, with Pilot’s, Flying J’s, and other out of network locations, there are some constraints, such as; Company Drivers are limited to 50 gallons of fuel.
In this regard, we wanted to remind you on MK’s preferred fuel locations and put it in a document form to help you along your way. This will also be placed in the Resource Library so you can go back to this document anytime!
