    It might be useful to have a thread that contains info about the various O/Cs. I have a Driver Resource Guide that lists all the O/Cs and a map of their location, but it tells me nothing more, such as useful info like:

    showers (towels provided?):
    laundry:
    ice:
    company loaner car:
    maintenance:
    fuel:
    cafeteria :
    Wifi:
    ATM:
    fitness center:
    tire bank:
    OSRs:
    overall rating :
    anything else?

    I'll start off with a few that I have visited, feel free to chime in with any new info, your rating, and thoughts. You shouldn't have to wait until you pull into an O/C to discover they have no maintenance, or their washers are still busted. If anyone knows of a better resource than this, please let me know.

    overall rating : B clean place, nice lounge with the obligatory blaring TV. RR immediately next to facility but they did not blow their horn, so not too noisy. As stated above, no maintenance, and OSRs/DBLs & staff there are notably absent. It's kind of like a ghost town. Otherwise, all they need is a pool and this would be a great place.

    overall rating : B- Only been here once, it is not even listed on the Driver Resource Guide. It is located at the top of a mountain (it seemed like, to a newbie), so to go anywhere on foot, you would need to mount an expedition. Did not check on most of the facilities, but it is a place to park.


    Keasbey , NJ
    showers (towels provided?): 2, BYOT
    laundry: y
    ice: y

    fitness center:
    tire bank:
    OSRs:
    overall rating : Looks impressive, I drove by it but the local LE were evacuating the area because of a plant fuel leak, so there's that. Next to a massive Pilot "Detroiter" truck stop.

    For the Cedar Rapids drop lot there is a truck and trailer repair place right behind that Schneider uses. It's called Seegers and is not owned by Schneider. It's just a drop lot and nothing more. There's not even a bathroom.

    FYI in addition dallas has the best showers. They were remodeled in the past year. There are only 4 and usually a wait.

    Only four? There used to be more than that....at least I think so....

    The bigger OCs are the one thing I really do miss about SNI. Hated when they closed Seville, OH....
