Well not the "J", they filed BK as the GM, and Chysler should have bben made to but, I personally think you will see Private electric producing companies ask for the next big bailout. A hawaian held electric company that services several of the islands has filed for BK protection, and more then a few are very close to closing up. with all of the "nationalization" or "socialization" going on , they government might as well own the electric producers also, that way when obama puts all of his new regulations on them, he will just be screwing us another way!!

My reply was not specific to Flying J although the thread was J specific. My bailout reference was to the American oil industry in general and to some degree was in jest. At least I hope so!
You mention BK. I can see them and McDonald's, Wendy's, Arbys etc. also getting in line for bailout money. Hey when the lawsuits involving poor diets get some traction these guys will be hurting also.
Wake me up when money for ignorant, white, middle age bald guys becomes available. I want my cut!
Might be on to something. I hear we are the "New" minority.

Not to worry, Bama's gonna spread the wealth around!! I figure within a year me and D. Trump will be sitting together at Mickey D's talking about Golfing together at this place he used to own.
Won't it be nice? No uppity ups, No better than thou's, Just a bunch of good ole' boys sitting around drinking and singing "thank-you OBAMA"! I might even write a song now so we'll have something to sing.

Dang, I've still got hair. But, it's gray and I'm a big fat-azz! Would that work?
Flying J in Chapter 11? Wow! I didn't see that one coming. From the article it sounds more like a short-term cash crisis than a long-term, terminal debt burden. I don't expect to see the Flying J truck stops closing their doors. I think fuel, showers and that yummy food will still be available.
Phil..I think we will see a few more of these surprise Chapter 11's before the dust settles...
I read a story XM radio only has enough cash till mid year...and thier only one good customer GM pulls the plug on thier sales promotion of free XM for 4 months.
Yummy food? Flying J? Phil, either that was a really bad joke or you have been driving truck way tooooooo long! LOL!! I could NEVER use the term "yummy" for most truck stop food offerings with a straight face!! There are a few exceptions but they are few and far between. The "J" is not one of them. May you all have a Blessed Christmas and a profitable New Year. Layoutshooter
Flying J says it will keep all employees and keep locations operating . Falling oil, credit crunch trigger Flying J bankruptcy filing - Salt Lake Tribune
Had a friend call us that was going through Florida and stopped at three different J's and all had the fuel islands blocked off.
Has anyone else seen anything like this?

On their website a few stations are listed as "Supply Low" or "Supply Critical". Have not heard of any big refining outages (dunno if theirs is running).
I did notice the J in London ON has had the pumps out front re-branded as Shell (much like Ashtabula OH or like the Conoco branding).

The GAS pumps were blocked off in Winchester VA on the 26th as well...
