    Pilot/J accused of rebate fraud, Millions of $

    Let's see we have a criminal complaint by the feds, that's one thing that could be a problem for Pilot. Shorting of rebates to companies can be handled like Pilot is doing now and going to the customers, which a judge in Tn says is a good thing when he threw out the lawyers claims today and...

    History of CARB

    Do you want to be the one that tests that theory about CARB not giving out tickets for older engines, I wouldn't because I don't like giving my hard earned money to the government for being hard headed. I should also add (I think I right about this) that companies can be fined if they load a...

    Pilot/J accused of rebate fraud, Millions of $

    Hate to say this but it's none of our business what discount the company gets from any fuel retailer since the agreement is between the trucking company and the fuel retailers. We as owners of our vehicles don't have to buy from any of the large truck stops we can go to the mom and pop truck...

    Pilot/J accused of rebate fraud, Millions of $

    I sometimes find out buying my fuel at grocery store fuel islands saves me 15 to 20 cents, but before I look for them I check cost plus prices for TA/ Petro. The only thing is no showers when I don't fuel at the truck stops and paying upwards of 13 dollars for a shower is highway robbery.
