Summary
Pilot Travel Centers
business enterprise infrastructure
Four blocks, four different carriers' filing habits, one company.
What it's used for
- A truck stop chain's network. 1,280 addresses across four IPv4 prefixes, with four observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
74.114.188.0/23and74.114.190.0/24carryPILOT-CORPand name a network team as contact.65.196.143.0/24carriesUU-65-196-143-D4, a two-letter carrier prefix from a company absorbed decades ago.70.159.149.0/24carriesBLS-70-159-149-0-24-1007281431, ending in ten digits that read as a date and a time to the minute.- The company name is written three different ways across the four records.
Interesting
- The ten-digit tail is the moment the record was created, down to the minute, stamped by a provisioning system that had no expectation anyone would read it. It is the most precise timestamp in this whole range, and it sits in a field meant for a name.
- Reading the four netnames in order is a short history of American telecommunications: two acquired carriers' formats, still untouched under their new owner, alongside the company's own records where somebody chose the words.
- Four upstreams for a modest amount of address space fits a business with hundreds of sites where fuel pumps, card readers and the point of sale all have to keep talking to head office.
- Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name, which keeps that estate invisible.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-11, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 453 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-11. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
