Pilot Flying J Expands Diesel Fuel Network

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Pilot Flying J added diesel fuel to six additional locations across North America. The Pilot Flying J travel centers now offering the option are located in Bainsville, Ont.; Cardinal, Ont.; Kansas City, Kan.; Pine Grove, Pa.; Roxbury, N.J.; and Snyder, Texas.

"Our mission is to make life better for professional drivers," said Jimmy Haslam, CEO of Pilot Flying J. "By increasing the locations where we supply diesel fuel, it makes it easier and more convenient for drivers to refuel when traveling. We hope professional drivers will take advantage of our expanded fuel network."

The addition of diesel fuel to these six locations is just a portion of its 2014 strategy, according to the company. Pilot Flying J opened three new travel centers and plazas in the first quarter and plans to open additional locations throughout the year.

Also, Pilot Flying J launched a $50-million restroom remodel at all 650 of its locations and will complete another $50-million project to remodel driver showers by the end of the year, the company stated.

Knoxville- based Pilot Flying J is the largest operator of travel centers and travel plazas in North America.
