Flying J Anomalies

We’ve just about completed a XC trip on I-80 from Sacramento to suburban Chicago. the last leg will be from Davenport IA either tomorrow or the day after.

we usually gas up at Flying J because many of them have RV islands which is a great convenience. we’re quite used to gsssing at other locations but the RV islands make it a lot easier.

During the run on 80 we discovered fueling problems at some of the FJ Travel Plazas and i thought i’d pass them on to the group. you’re welcome.

Wells, NV: the RV islands only provide 85-octane and diesel. if you want anything else you’ll need the other pumps.

Avoca, IA: ALL gas pumps are out of service due to construction. AFAIK the diesel pumps in the truck area are in service.

Davenport IA: the RV lanes are closed. it looked like one of the pumps had been struck and nearly knocked off its base.

We found that some of the parks out west don’t offer the discount with the card. (Some have the gas pumps from Chevron).

If for no other reason than just be cause did you stop at the I80 Truck Stop. It has to be a bucket list item. Its a one of a kind.
