What Makes Love's Different
- Best quick-shop selection: Love's typically carries more grocery / convenience items than Pilot. Fresh food, expanded snack aisles, and consistent Subway/McDonald's footprints.
- I-40 / I-30 / I-35 stronghold: Love's has the densest coverage in Oklahoma, Texas Panhandle, New Mexico, and Arizona - the Southwest freight corridor. Drivers on this corridor can stay within Love's network all the way from Memphis to Los Angeles.
- Professional driver lounge: Dedicated driver lounge, laundry, showers, and CAT Scale at major locations. Love's showers are consistently rated highly by professional drivers.
- Love's Connect app: Live diesel prices at every location, shower reservations, parking space availability at some locations.
- Competitive cash prices in the Southwest: Love's tends to undercut Pilot slightly in states where it has dense coverage (OK, TX, NM, AZ).

How does the Love's Express Card work? +
The Love's Express Card is a fleet fuel card accepted at all Love's locations. It saves 8-10 cents per gallon on diesel purchases at Love's Travel Stops. The card has no annual fee for basic accounts. For larger fleets, Love's also participates in the broader fleet card network (Comdata saves 8c/gal; WEX saves 8-10c/gal at Love's locations). The Express Card is best for drivers who primarily run routes with heavy Love's coverage - the Southwest, I-40 corridor, and Southern Plains.
Is Love's better than Pilot for diesel? +
Love's cash diesel prices are often 1-3 cents/gal lower than Pilot Flying J in the Southwest and I-40 corridor. For fleet-card holders, the comparison depends on your card: Comdata saves 8c/gal at Love's vs 10c/gal at Pilot, slightly favoring Pilot. WEX is roughly the same at both chains (8-10c/gal). Love's Express Card savings (8-10c) are comparable to Pilot Pro Card rewards. The biggest differentiator is geography: Love's is stronger in the Southwest; Pilot is stronger on I-80 and the Northeast.
