    Truck stop managers should take more pride in keeping the parking lots clean.
    Just need one of those new $15.00 hr. minimum wage employees to keep the lots clean.

    I have not once witnessed a truck stop in this predicament. Regular trash I have.. Sad. Though I haven't seen a lot trash for awhile.. on and off ramps get a bit but not as bad as it once was.

    Urine tainted black top is present at some

    I think we as drivers need to do our part as well. Of course some of us do and some of us don't as it is now.

    Are you sure? All over the place? Parking lot was filled with them was it? Is there a chance you could be exaggerating?
    I have been going to truck stops for nearly a quarter of a century now, and have yet to visit one where I was dodging "bags of dookie" left and right.

    The scary part is if they can't aim tiny johnson at that big hole in the seat, how do they back a 53' trailer in a parking spot...oh wait, they don't, they're the ones parking on the side of the scale and in any 'no parking' curb spot they can pull thru...never mind :confused:

    To dca - Have you ever been to the Vince Lombardi Service Plaza in Ridgefield, NJ ? LOL ! That place used to smell so bad 25 years ago, the flies wouldn't even go near it. ........... Oh, and as for cool New England names, there's a great truck stop off the NYThruway in a place called Coxsackie, NY !! LOL.

    Final thought for the thread - Pee bombs and bags o' fertilizer are a sad but true fact of modern trucking. What I can't figure out is what we did 25 - 30 and more, years ago when there was actually very few places to pull in and use the facilities !?!? Did we hold it ? Did we actually stop and hit the tree line ? Or did we just simply take the time to put the stuff in the trash ? I guess 'etiquette' isn't a part of driving school anymore. Sad.
