T/A Elkton, MD

That T/A has always been a nasty one. About 5 years ago I saw them arrest a driver who started an argument
when he did not have enough money to pay the parking fee when he tried to leave. I could not believe it when
they called the police and had him arrested over $20 dollars. Until they built that fence around it years ago it
was very dangerous for drivers. Numerous incidents of truck drivers being mugged or assaulted by criminals. I do
recall reading about one fatality from a driver being stabbed. Even the fuel Island is set up wrong so that trucks
back up into the street when to many trucks try to fuel at one time.

 

It happens, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing or not doing. At least you weren't in the shower and the water cuts off.

 

I thought that truck stop was like the Disneyland of lot lizards?

 

I honestly think you have the wrong truck stop, the one in elkton is not near as bad as the one in jessup, which has a fence, a very short entrance to the fuel islands and paid parking...

elkton has non of the above.

 

Elkton, MD? Every time I've been there, there has been no fence around it, and it's always been free parking. There's the occasional panhandler, but never saw any lot lizards, and no fights or arguments. Are you sure you're thinking of the same TA?

 

He's definitely confused with Jessup.

Elkton may not win any awards, but it's redeeming quality is that I always find a place to park there no matter the time of day. Easy in/out too.

 

Parked at elkton many times, as I had a delivery right up the street, with midnight appointment times, and no on site parking for that appointment.

 

Elkton and Jessup both equate to a dump... But then again what TA doesn't?

 

Doh! I remember elkton now, sorry, last time i was on the east coast, LJ Kennedy was still in business.....
