    At home watching an old episode of cops from 2008, Across the street from the petro in Atlanta at the Citgo they busted a driver for buying crack. Before they took him to jail he had to call his company cause his truck was parked across the street at the Petro. I have never been there is that place really that crappy?

    like most big cities your better off staying out of town
    delivering and leaving
    Petro is the least objectionable
    TS's below I40 have more homeless drug activity
    then the cold weather states

    I hear they pushed back his eligibility to be a trainer six weeks.

    Yes, rough part of town. On the west side just north of I-20. I would recommend doing all your westside ATL business in the light of day because much like #### roaches, low lifes scurry out after dark.

    I haven't had any trouble there. There are security guards walking around. No one has bugged me while I was there. I disagree with the shop's policy of not putting the oil and coolant bottles out where you can buy them, though.

    Your expectations of a truck stop can't be too high when there's a liquor store and a strip club across the street. Strip club was decent, if big butts is your thing lol.
