Hi all,
I have tried and tried to research this on my own, but I am having a hard time finding any info. I always try on my own before I bug you guys, but I'm at a loss. Can anyone please help? I picked up this sign and was wondering where it came from (is it related to Pilot/Flying J) or is it not even gas related? I don't know what year it came from, but it is not horribly old (paint on aluminum, with reflective letters). I think it looks cool, but I have no idea what it is. LOL.
Thank you all for any help,
Steve

I don`t think its related to Pilot/Flying,I get fuel there almost daily and the colors are different,but maybe it was something they used awhile back..just my 2 cents

Thanks Alan. That's what I was thinking, maybe it's from before they merged. But I don't have a clue. Have a good one.

Pilot Freight Lines, from here in Winston-Salem. One of the old line motor carriers. This sign fit across the top front of a trailer, side signs were larger, of course, and one included a ships wheel design. Great signs, but not gasoline.

Okay. Thanks for the info everyone, I appreciate it. I just went to google images and found the pictures of some old trucks/trailers with my sign. Looks like its from the mid-80's. Thanks again
