Fred's Fuel 'n Food #2 Fred's Fuel 'n Food serves truckers and motorists with friendly staff and clean facilities. Come in & visit us anytime in Gilman, IL! Take Exit 283 on I-57

This page represents the independent truck stop known as Fred's Fuel 'n Food #2 in Gilman, Illinois (Exit 283 on I-57). We are an American owned & operated truck stop dedicated to friendly customer service, clean facilities and integrity of fuel. Integrity of fuel means you can buy at our truck stop either B11 or ULSD diesel with full confidence that it won't gel or otherwise hurt your truck. In c

old weather we double winterize our fuels. And, year 'round, we carefully monitor our fuel to make sure it does not take on any water (rest assured we have never had water issues with fuel at our site). We want all truckers to look forward to stopping at Fred's. When you tank up at Fred's you get free coffee or soda (and feel free to fill up your thermos!) and you can also get a free shower. We feature a truckers' lounge, video poker and slot machines, and Krispy Krunchy Chicken (opening approx. mid-May 2015). We have the best in and out access around for truck parking and also have a truck wash on site. One new project that is just rolling out involves D.o.T. physicals. We are commencing an alliance with Riverside Healthcare to provide physicals for truckers coming through (cost is $40, but if you tank up we'll give you a $5 fuel credit for that day). Instead of taking a day off to get a D.o.T. physical, we are introducing the convenience of a D.o.T. physical when taking a break from the road. Right now, anyone who needs a D.o.T. physical just needs to show up during daytime hours before 5:00 pm. It does help if you call ahead 815.265.9902, but even if you just show up our team is glad to help. Initially the D.o.T. physicals will be done about a mile away and our staff will transport any driver to that facility. Within 60 days one of our motel rooms will also be used by Riverside Medical to provide the physicals on premises and, at that point, we're aiming to provide them as late as 11:00 pm. We also offer a great fleet loyalty program that gives discounts on the spot (after all, who wants to wait for a rebate?). Email [email protected] if you want to join. We have many more, exciting plans for Fred's in Gilman and look forward to sharing with you more information on this page. Thanks for stopping by at our page and hope to see you very soon at our Gilman truck stop.

We also have planned some other changes, upgrades and improvements to the station over the next few months.

What will not and has not changed is that we are still the same clean and friendly American owned and operated establishment that you enjoy visiting.

We always appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you next time you are here. Thank you and safe driving.

Over the years, we’ve become known as clean and friendly at Fred’s Fuel ‘n Food. We clean because we treasure the health and wellbeing of our team, our customers and friends. We’ve always cleaned and disinfected our bathrooms, showers, floors, shelves and store throughout the day.

Friendly Fred’s has always had a policy for our team to stay home if they are sick. We want them to recover to health and not to share their illness with others.

These policies are meant to protect our team and our customers and have been working. The only changes we’ve made at Fred’s as a response to the coronavirus pandemic, is that we’ve increased the frequency of disinfecting to every 30 minutes in the store.

We also placed hand wipes at the registers that our customers can choose to use.

We wish you a safe and healthy journey. 🇺🇸 🚛 🇺🇸
