    OK,
    I did a 34 reset at a Flying J Millersport OH. Dirty facilities, laundry station forces you to use the ATM, which robs you with fees. Problems with pumps not reading cards, and low staffing. The porter seems like a good guy but probably is spread thin, regarding workload. I observed a girl going through the motions of cleaning and did, "nothing". Trash can in drivers lounge full for over 10 hours. I'm marking this one the GPS as permanent AVOID. Even though the pizza was good...

    Do you think if business drops off, the management will get a clue?

    What are the worst Truckstop locations you avoid? Tell us why, if you like....

    Hope you have a great day,
    Kenny

    All of the major chains have contact info on their webpages. If enough drivers would submit complaints for a particularly messy location, the corporate office could make corrections to the staff.

    Business won't drop off for pfj. They have too many large accounts and companies dictate their drivers will fuel there. They probably don't make much from those guys for fuel, but make it in the variety store.

    I have pretty well completely given up on flying j ever since Pilot took over. It really has gone downhill. I only go there if it is the only option. I much prefer the out of the way places that get much less traffic.

    East of columbus. Ugh.

    Next time you do a 34 reset, haul out your CDL get a 34 dollar rate for a nice hotel room at the hamptons or something. Quit trying to grub with bad places as usual.
