It's been bad as long as I can remember. I think it used to be called Bud's Truck Stop way back when.
No... Buds is now where MR Fuel is.....

The pilot is pretty gross for real... Flying J is not that bad...

Best parking is behind the Hardees or down the road next to the White Castle.. Parking lot behind the Hardies is a dirt lot so it has craters in it though... you also can park on the side of the road behind the hardees that takes you down to the truck wash... That pretty much keeps you away from all that crap...

The girls around there usually don't go door knocking and mainly use the CB.. They mostly hang out in the bar at the hotel next to the pilot...

Okay, I couldn't remember. MR Fuel is across the street the Pilot there.

Thanks for the warning about the bar, and the advice of where to park.

Some guys feel safe parking at that little Omelot Shop Restaurant too I hear.

I took a shower there and I caught the worst foot fungus I've ever had. It took nearly 2 weeks to go away even with all the spray I used. I never can sleep in this truckstop because someone is always knocking with some kind of issue. I wonder if there is a way we can petition TA to take away the franchise from its current owner as they run it like a getto convenience store. If that's the business they want then they shouldn't be a truckstop.

Does anyone else feel the same way?
now for the smell are we talking inside the place or outside
.BUt on the GOOD side yes thier is a good to that place. they guys that does the trk wash are great but .every thing around that trk wash area forget it and for the showers i'll use what moms use on baby's . baby wipes when i have to park thier.. that place is a ghetto trk stop makes ghettos look good .

So, truckers don't always use showers at truck stops to clean up.

That may explain why I see lots of trucks parked at the old Montgomery Ward building off of Route 355 and Perry Parkway in Gaithersburg, Maryland. It's now the Burlington Coat Factory and Toys R Us.

There is a 24 hour CVS drugstore in the Gaithersburg Square shopping center across Perry Parkway that sells Comfort Cloths, which are basically baby wipes for hospital settings.

Doesn't mean that, it's places like those that you rather clean up with wipes to make it to the other truck stop the next day where showers are cleaner.
