    Salad has too much fiber for me....4 string cheese with a 24oz coffee is a good balance, tho.

    Cheese has way too much nutrition in it, driver. All you need is coffee... that's it, nothing else.

    You forgot the bit about dropping a deuce then running out of the bathroom to touch all the salad tongs and coffee stirrers in the joint. *while skipping the water and soap to hands part of the process*
    Nasty ####ing illegitimate children.

    Was kinda my point there killingtime. Do you really think they washed their hands after watering the tire? Or for that matter less gross, but equally disgusting stiff like strapping that flatbed load, adding oil, or even opening the doors of the van. All that grime, grease, and road dirt is still on peoples hands hours later. The same ones that use a salad bar and touch every single plate, fork, and serving thing..

    Again, takes a braver man than me to eat a salad bar from anywhere, but truckstops are just super nasty,

    Salad bar in the Iron Skillets is very good. So are all the veggies. CP is ok, but nothing compared to the skillet. One of my hugest peeve's with e-log is I don't think I'll be able to target the Petro's like I normally would. Line 5 safe haven I guess.

    Not to mention it only takes half as much time to fuel at the T/A & Petro. Just don't let any T/A in Ohio work on your truck, and you'll be ok.
     
    nonsense007, DTP and 12 ga Thank this.

    They have or at least recently had a deal where if you bought a steak in the restaurant they'd give you a scratch off ticket at the end. Got a $50 gift card on one I scratched off in Brazil, IN so that was a nice surprise. Glad Petro brought the NY strip back, hope it lasts...
