Pilot Travel Centers was founded on September 1, 2001 in a joint venture between Pilot Corporation and Marathon Petroleum Company . Immediately all Pilot Truck Stops were converted into Pilot Travel Centers. At it's inception the number of stops was around 60, however that was to be short lived. GROWING PAINS The next few years up to the present time, Pilot Travel Centers has had significant growth. The company entered another joint venture in mid 2002, teaming up with the Speed-Way truck stop chain. This joint venture effectively eliminated the Speed-way name on the road, as all Speed-way stops were converted to Pilot Travel Centers. Mid way through 2003, another major team-up occured with the purchase of the Williams Truck Stop chain. Through these two transactions, the Pilot Travel Center name became increasingly recognized throughout the United States, as the number of stops more than quadrupled. PRESENT DAY Currently, Pilot Travel Centers is the largest proveyor of Over the Road Diesel fuel in the nation. Pilot also is known as the largest Travel Center Chain in the country with 274 locations at the time of this writing. Pilot is also the largest franchisor of Quick Service Restaurants in the nation, offering 1-3 different concepts at each location. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
