2. Love’s Travel Stops Expectations Big Sky Training
Within this presentation you will read about Love’s Travel Stops Expectations for service, service procedures, repair authorization, invoicing procedures, and training for our new service call dispatching system called Big Sky. All service providers will be required to utilize this system. By signing into Big Sky, you are also acknowledging Love’s expectations for service.

3. Store Personnel Dispatching
Can the Love’s store personnel contact you directly?
Yes! As the managers of our facilities, they are responsible for all repairs & maintenance of their facilities, BUT Proper communication is key to getting repairs done quickly and correctly.
When should the site management contact you directly?
After performing the appropriate trouble-shooting the store management team can make a judgment call if the nature of the service call is an Emergency or High Priority to initiate the service call for the fastest response time possible.
The site will THEN use Big Sky to document the service request and mass communicate to the proper people.
The work order will be sent over from Big Sky where proper call progression/ updating can take place from there.
If you do not receive a work order soon after a site has contacted you for emergency service, please notify

4. Service Needs & Expectations
24 hour, 7 days a week service availability. Preferential emergency service.
Competitive hourly rates.
Competent, courteous and professional service technicians.
Call backs/ recalls/ return service for recent repeat issues at no charge.
Use of two or more technicians prohibited without prior approval from the office.
Timely response and repair times. Different problems/situations call for different responses, the following will outline the appropriate response time expected unless otherwise stated on the call:
Level 1 – Emergency Priority, 4 hour response time– Store has the inability to use a complete system and/or the situation is causing endangerment to customers/employees health and safety. For example, all Diesel is down and/or above ground leak situation, water heater goes down, Heat down in winter, AC down in summer, etc.
Level 2 – High Priority, 24 hour response time– Inability to use a piece of equipment which results in customer dissatisfaction. The problem needs immediate attention but is not causing a complete shutdown of business function or health/ safety hazard. For example, a single fuel dispenser is down, Hi-rise signage pricing issues, etc.
Level 3 – Medium Priority, 48 hour response time– In need of service but item does not impede on store ability to fulfill customer satisfaction. For example, a dispenser needs a part but is still operational on at least one grade of fuel.
Level 4 – Low Priority, 72 hour response time– In need of service but the problem is not directly impacting business function. For example, a dispenser is in need of cosmetic repairs, cosmetic building repairs, parts needed but does not impact functionality of equipment/ service to customers.
