    Hey Drivers: Live in the town of cheektowaga, NY and can say that Jim's Truck stop is a small place but in a very good location off I-90.
    It is around the corner from the towns police headquarters and across the street from the millinium hotel were the Buffalo Bills football team puts the rookies up in at the beginning of training camp.So don't feel for a second that this is not a safe place it is, no trouble here, large K-mart parking lot attached to truck stop.

    Welcome To Buffalo NY:biggrin_25525:

    Is Jim's the one with some open space around it like an old landfill? Lot man checks on you when you park? We picked up graphite rods somewhere around there and used to eat at a place there and always took the lot man a hat or t-shirt or something. We were team so I don't remember staying overnight but no complaints. Things can change though.

    The Flying J at exit 9 on I-80 Gary,IN is the most horrible, disgusting, unfriendly ######## I've ever seen in my life.
    At the fuel desk u better keep your voice low if u dont want to be "slapped" my those ladies.
    The parking lot is scary too. Plenty of beggars and scums swarm between trucks gives u the impression of hell awaiting for customers.
    And if u dare to complain about something the lady that is the location manager will give u a "lesson of life" that u will never forget.
    For me that Flying J is OFF the map.

    Being from Quebec, I would have thought you'd know that Gary is French for "Schidt Hole".:biggrin_25525:

    I will say the Boise Stage T/S is one of my favorites. And as for as the worst to me is TA in Albq. I was robbed there hit in the head with a steel pipe took 250.00 dollars from me and left me for dead . The people was caught out on I-25 and I have never went back since

    When you know it is a bad place try to get your business done before it gets dark.Good planning is the key to happiness in this business I think.

    Gary In. Is the worst.. A friend of mine told me the story of Little Rock AR at the petro . He was plugged into idle air .. Been running hard and he was out.. Anyways later on that night he heard some shuffling in the driver seat so he jumped up buck naked.. There was a woman sitting there.. He went to kicking her.. She freaks and bails out .. busted her a@# on that asphalt , and tears out.. He dresses himself and goes after her... The driver next to him asked what the hey are you doing... He explained she broke into my truck... The other driver apologised .. She told him she was locked out and he helped her get in.. Thankfully when she plopped out that truck she dropped his wallet..
