Due to the chaotic increases in the price of fuel the past few weeks, our team members Kassie, Tiffany, and MK Driver Harold C. recently met with our Love’s Representative to learn more about our discount program and the Company itself.
Love’s started in 1964 by Tom and Judy Love when they bought an abandoned service station in Watonga, OK. It was originally named Musket Corporation and within 8 years they added 40 gas stations. In the early 1970s, they launched a new concept by adding a Mini Stop Country Store to their gas stations. By 1973, they began using their family name and became Loves Country Stores.
Marvin Keller partners with Love’s for a discounted fuel rate because of the number of gallons we purchase. Our Love’s discount rates are as follows:
- OPIS cost minus 0.02
- Retail minus 0.08
- OPIS cost minus 0.16 in Illinois.
Love’s offers us a better discount than the other competing fuel companies so we ask our drivers to fill up at Love’s stops when possible. In addition, they have a very nice Rewards Program that allows drivers to earn points which can be redeemed for free showers, drinks, and other merchandise.

Today they have over 500 Loves Travel Stop locations across the US and they take pride in the cleanliness of their Truck Stops. They continue to offer new amenities to help professional truck drivers like dog parks, laundry facilities, and lots of parking spaces. Loves remains a family-owned company. Tom, Judy, and 3 of their 4 children still work for the company and make a commitment to visit each store at least one time per year.
With that being said, we’ve made the decision to change our fuel limit from 50 gallons to 25 gallons at Pilot and Flying J Centers. Please call your DM if you have any questions and choose Love’s!
