Flying J Inc.
 PROFILE
Flying J puts out a welcome mat for truck drivers throughout North America. From its humble beginnings in 1968 with four locations, the company is now one of the largest US truck-stop operators -- running about 130 amenity-loaded Flying J Travel Plazas in 39 states and Canada. Flying J and its subsidiaries go beyond the usual truck-stop fare (food, fuel, showers) by offering truckers extra services, including fuel cost analysis, bulk-fuel programs, truck fleet sales, advertising, banking, financing, and insurance. The company also owns oil and gas reserves as well as a 25,000-barrel-a-day oil refinery. Founder and chairman Jay Call owns a majority stake in Flying J, which plans to add about 35 plazas by 2002.
