This “Fuel Island Review Pilot Georgia Cordele 2” is a second review of the fuel island at the Pilot Travel Center in Cordele, GA, USA. The contents of this review have been sent through the form on our Fuel Island Review page.
The questions answered below were preceded with grading instructions like this: “On a scale of 5 (high) to 1 (low)…” with this grading scale:
- “5” is excellent;
- “4” is very good;
- “3” is average or ok;
- “2” is unsatisfactory and needs attention;
- “1” is poor and needs immediate corrective action; and
- “N/A” means not applicable.
Unless the reviewer so noted in a text block at the bottom of the form, a specific bay is not identified because we figure that what goes at one bay at a facility will generally be true at all of them.

Was there anything else noteworthy about your fuel island experience?:
Of the fuel bays at this facility, one was blocked off with a trash barrel when we came through. At least one could see from a distance that this bay was unavailable.
Additional comments::
I was utterly amazed that three vehicles cut between my truck and the truck ahead of me in the fuel bay while I was waiting to get fuel at this location. Two of these vehicles were articulated (combination truck and trailer) which forced me to back up to avoid being hit. Watch out for this kind of movement in this facility.
