Flying J, the largest travel center network in North America, announced
today the launch of its new mobile app. With features specifically geared

with drivers in mind, the new Pilot
Flying J app saves users time and money with a more personalized experience
tailored to drivers’ type of travel, location, preferences and needs.

strategy and information officer at Pilot Flying J. “We know drivers are

The
updated Pilot Flying J app features a streamlined onboarding that allows
users to self-select their driver profile, such as professional driver,
auto traveler or RVer. Based on that selection, the home screen and features
are then customized to meet the drivers’ needs based upon geographic location,
preferred stops and amenities. These features include:
-
Pros
of the road: While on the road, professional drivers can have peace
of mind with the ability to call Pilot Flying J Truck Care at the push
of a button, easily plan their routes with improved location listings and
saved preferences and also reduce time searching for parking with Prime
Parking reservations. Recognizing when professional drivers arrive on property,
the modified home screen delivers time-saving features like mobile fueling,
shower reservations and viewing saved offers. Additionally, the new message
inbox and transaction history simplifies doing business from the road.
-
Auto
travelers: The enhanced trip planner makes planning a road trip easy,
helping to find and receive directions to Pilot and Flying J locations,
view amenities, fuel prices and more. Guests can also save money with the
app, including a 3-cent gas or auto diesel discount and exclusive offers
on favorite food items and drinks when the app is used at the time of purchase.

Finding locations with RV amenities is a breeze with the new RV home screen
that provides recommended stops with RV fueling lanes, dump stations and
