OKLAHOMA CITY — Professional truck drivers rolling through Love's Travel Stops can grab a complimentary hot dog or roller grill item by utilizing the company's mobile application. Partnering with Schwab Meat Co., the nationwide travel center network is extending the promotion across participating locations in 42 states to reward regular patrons and commercial operators on the highway.
Securing the free meal requires downloading the Love's Connect application from any standard mobile app store and setting up a user profile with an active email address. Once registered, drivers tap the deals section at the bottom of the interface, select the specific food offer, and scan the digital barcode at the cash register during checkout. Eligible items span standard Schwab hot dogs, Tornados, Roller Bites, and various other roller grill selections, complete with a full condiment and topping bar.
Joe Cotton, vice president of food service for Love's, noted that the promotion serves as a direct gesture of appreciation for loyal customers who keep the supply chain moving. Alongside the Love's promotion, EG America is running a week-long schedule of food discounts across its family of convenience store brands, including Cumberland Farms, Turkey Hill, Quik Stop, Certified Oil, Fastrac, Tom Thumb, Minit Mart, Kwik Shop, Loaf 'N Jug, and Sprint.
What This Means for Drivers

Utilizing mobile apps for loyalty rewards gives commercial drivers an easy way to stretch their per diem further during long cross-country hauls.
