    Flying J and Frequent Fueler Card - NOT

    Here's a nifty little update that should thrill beyond words. Notice where it says it's temporary, and then later on it says a very open-ended date of "until further notice". I think "until further notice" means "until we merge the two programs into the Pilot Driver Payback program". <snort>...

    Because this is an important safety issue, and the thread in which this discussion was present has been locked by someone who wishes to remain anonymous, I continue the thought here. In Kansas, State v. Baker, the ruling opinion states: "Unexpected brake failure and unexpected malfunction of...
