Fuel Island Review Loves South Carolina Fort Mill

This “Fuel Island Review Loves South Carolina Fort Mill” is a review of the fuel island at the Love’s Travel Stop in Fort Mill, SC, USA.

Note:

This review is being conducted based upon our own expectations of what a fuel island that caters to professional truck drivers of commercial motor vehicles should be like. Mike’s driver manager at his trucking company has said that the company wants feedback from their drivers regarding their fuel solutions (locations where they are assigned to get fuel). If the drivers have a bad experience, they are to report that and if the company receives enough bad reports about a particular fueling location, the company will look for alternatives. In this way, there is an economic incentive for truck stops to provide what drivers need and want when they arrive at a fueling location.

For our review, we are choosing to assign a number to each aspect of the fuel island experience:

DAT TruckersEdge - Most Loads. Best Rates. Serving Owner-Operators Since 1978. 10% off your first 12 months. New customers only.

  • “5” is excellent;
  • “4” is very good;
  • “3” is average or ok;
  • “2” is unsatisfactory and needs attention;
  • “1” is poor and needs immediate corrective action; and
  • “N/A” means not applicable.

We are choosing not to identify a specific bay because we figure that what goes at one bay at a facility will generally be true at all of them.
