FJ: pumps are for chumps

Posted 7/7/08

What you see on the display screen and what get's pumped isn't always the same.

The State allows gas and diesel pumps, a difference of about 6 tablespoons of fuel plus or minus the number on the pump's screen.

Each year, 75 inspectors with the Texas Department of Agriculture test 65,000 fuel pumps around Texas.

Just in May and June alone inspectors placed out of order tags on thousands of pumps around the state.

Those tags will stay put until the gas station can get those pumps back into compliance.

In our area, here's the breakdown. At the Flying J Travel Plaza at 100 East Pinehurst Street in Pecos. 6 pumps delivered less fuel then they indicated on the digital display.

FJ defies local laws to blight highway

Posted 6/16/2008

Eight months have passed since the Flying J Travel Plaza was pinpointed as the source of a petroleum spill in Clive's Walnut Creek.

Wednesday the Environmental Protection Commission will decide whether to send the Flying J before the attorney general. This could mean a fine of more than $10,000, the cap for what the Iowa Department of Natural Resources can recommend as a penalty.

"Flying J needs to be responsible for their actions and maintain the systems they have whether they are in Clive, Iowa, or anywhere in the United States", said Bart Weller, Clive director of public works.

Flying J thrives on human misery

Posted 2008 (link censored by FJ)

By South Dakota standards, a couple inches of snow and a bit of breeze isn't much of a winter storm.

But the system that passed through southeast South Dakota on Monday caused a disproportionate amount of trouble for motorists and led to the death of a 5-year-old boy.

Dozens of minor accidents were reported across Sioux Falls starting with the morning commute and continuing throughout the day. But beyond the city limits, drivers found more hazardous going.

The weather actually helped drive business at the Flying J Travel Plaza in Sioux Falls, said Jared Zach, one of the company's assistant owners.

"We've had a lot of traffic through here today," he said. "It's been kind of crazy for us."

"I don't need the harassment. It's bad enough you get it at the scales and occasionally the roadside without getting it at a place where you're usually comfortable and safe."

Town doesn't want any shit from Flying J

Saugatuck officials have made it harder for a proposed Flying J travel plaza to go up on Blue Star Highway at 63rd Street.

Though the city has no direct jurisdiction over the sale or use of the Laketown Township property, the council found a way to block the development.

It's all a bit complicated, City Manager Kirk Harrier admitted, but by selling excess sewer capacity to Laketown Township, with the stipulation that it not be used for certain types of developments, Saugatuck can quash the project.
