I'm SUPER excited about seeing my family in Florida soon! And to help us plan our big car trek from Toledo to Orlando, I've been using Pilot Flying J's website.
Did you know you can plan your trip on their website?
I didn't either!
If you are planning a road trip this summer, this feature on their website is very handy! Just click on the "locations" button...
...and viola'! You can suddenly see all the Pilot Flying J locations around your neck of the woods!
Down at the bottom I typed in my starting and ending points and BAM! There was complete turn-by-turn directions to Orlando! Simply hit the print button and you're all set for your road trip!
The nice thing about using Pilot Flying J's trip planner instead of a map website is that they put the exits that have Pilot Flying J locations right in the driving directions! SCORE!
That sure makes planning potty breaks and gas stops way easier for a family on the road! And, you can even search for certain amenities the Pilot Flying J has. Need a stop that has a public laundry? Check that box in your search and you're golden!
Now if you're like Lazy Dad and I, you rely heavily on your smart phone. So here's the best part... Pilot Flying J has put all their trip planning awesomeness on an app for your phone!
Not only do they have the trip planner on their app, but you can also see current gas prices! Woohoo! Trip planning just got easier my friends.
If you aren't a reward member, just pick up a card at your next Pilot Flying J stop and get to swiping! You could win a $1,000 gas card if you do!
Disclosure: Pilot Flying J is one of our June road trip sponsors, but they did not ask me to write this post. I just wanted to tell you about this awesome feature they have. So there.

We do a LOT of road trips and Pilot/Flying J is our favorite place to stop. The kids like to "window shop" because they always have such fun stuff in the store. Plus their beverage selection is awesome! I didn't know about the website planning though....we will check that out for next time.
ReplyDeleteGetting ready to take a 9-hour road trip with our 9-year-old and this plus the quarter idea just put a thought into my head...we're going to give our son his allotted amount of "snack" money for the day we are traveling and tell him when it's gone, it's gone. Hoping it will save my ears from a lot of "Can I get this...PLEASE...." every time we take a rest stop.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...maybe I should give out allotments for myself and my hubby as well...
