is he 595 truck stop worth it in your opinion?

If there's a even a remote chance of reloading I would not even consider going back north that's over 200 miles unless you'll be paid for that.

 

595 isnt bad lil pub and the restaurant is adequate
enough out of the way your safe enough
biggest problem is locals leaving their trucks

 

A little out of they way but isn't there a Pilot/FJ at Medley off the 27, not a big place but some parking?

 

i was there last week. looks ok to me. didnt like the food at the restaurant . showers are so so .

 

Its not a real pilot, they only sell pilot fuel, and it has little parking.

The is another Pilot off the Fl 826 ( palmetto expressway 8-10 parking spots) near 27th Ave

 

Fuel prices are high there. Make sure you fuel up before you get to far south so you don't have to do it there. On the other hand, evaluate cost of fueling there and staying free (See how long you can stay). The staff was luke warm when I was there last. I got stuck on Friday evening with a load I could not drop until Monday morning. I did not want to pay to stay the weekend so I drove around some Friday evening and found a nice spot to hide out for the weekend. Did not get bothered at all. Wish I could tell you where it was. I can probably find it again myself next time but no chance I can give directions to it. Next time I find a spot like that I'll make sure to GPS it!

Good Luck..!

Hey, just about everything is more expensive in South Florida...As for the lukewarm staff..they are probably tired from working long hours at a truck stop to make ends meet. Try this, put on a big smile and let em know you appreciate them being there so you can take a nice break and see what happens.

As a local driver here in Miami...I can tell you there are only a few off road overnight risky parking spots and the walmarts are not truck friendly....
