New "Pee 'n Pump" by Gilbarco
Flying J to Replace Old Style Fuel Pumps
3-16-2008 Ogden, UT—Flying J, Inc., one of the nation's largest truckstop operators, announced today that it had entered into an exclusive contract with Gilbarco, Inc. to replace the diesel pumps at more than 258 locations in the USA and Canada, with the new Gilbarco Trucker Pee 'n Pump 1000, pictured below.

David Barker, VP of North American Operations stated, "This will usher in a new era of convenience for the modern truck driver. We realize that time is money when you drive a truck for a living and nothing wastes more time than having to go inside the truckstop to 'do your business'."
Barker also said that the new pumps will not only save trucker's time, but will also save Flying J money on costs associated with pressure washing stale urine from the concrete at the fuel island areas.
The new pumps are not the only innovation being developed by Flying J. Earlier this year, plans for a new service co-developed with IdleAire, Inc. were announced. This new service, PeeAire, will be combined with the already popular IdleAire services like air conditioning, heat and in-cab internet service. This will allow truck driver to pee from the convenience of their cab—no more nasty pee bottles rolling around on the floor of the truck. A new $10 window adapter will be required for the service but a spokesman for IdleAire said a credit would be issued for any drivers who already bought an older adapter. The service will be available in late October.
