Travel Centers of America is failing and will declare bankruptcy within five years.

Same drivers hang there, that are always there. Now there's six guys huddled in the laundry room cause that's where the TV is. Some have the gameroom open, but not the lounge. WTF is that? It's all BS.

 

Masks aren’t our only issues , saw way to many people truckers and non truckers alike use the restroom & won’t think twice about washing their hands

 

The only good thing about Loves is their showers. They intentionally build their locations on the least amount of ground possible and offer no room to actually park . Fuel and get the hell out seems to be their motto. The average Pilot or FlyingJ don't seem to be much better either.

 

It's always been that way. Nothing new there.

 

JonJon78,

I made no issue of being paranoid over Covid but I am always concerned about people who do not seem to care about distancing, masking, washing their hands and just plain caring about a virus than can be deadly. It is our choice to be as cautious as possible and yours if you don't.

It is my choice to be as careful as I can be for my wife and I as we are for you or any other person we meet. It is your choice as a driver to do what you feel is right for you but just respect my opinion.

The day will come when this virus will be able to be controlled as well as any flu if we all are able to return to some kind of normalcy. Be careful and safe out there.

 

Here's an update of my sister's virus situation-

 

Okay for all the naysayers that say this thing isn’t real, news flash, it is.

Wife and in-laws had a confirmed case and while I was tested 4 times, (always negative) when my wife had her case I didn’t bother testing. I had a fever for 5 days (maybe it was longer) and fatigue and lethargy like you wouldn’t believe. Almost 48 hours passed in what seemed like minutes.

Now somehow we all survived although I don’t feel 100% and blame myself for being old, fat, and averse to exercise, but for all I know I’m suffering from the long term respiratory problems people claim are part of it.

but I gotta say some people aren’t as lucky, many people have died from this. And if I talk to someone who lost someone because of it? What am I going to say?

I’ll put the stupid mask on because I really don’t give a ####, I reuse the same one for weeks so I know it’s not very sanitary. And maybe once in a while I might try to sneak in and out of a place with it off. The rules change with state lines and if I quarantined 14 days for every state line I crossed I’d be home until I was eligible for SS.

The mask thing isn’t the hill I want to fight on.

 

Whenever a business, such as pilot, feels the need to put a sign on their door requiring a mask for entry I just slap one of these on:

 

So, what about TA? Sad to see another thread quickly get derailed by our own personal opinions on something irrelevant to a truck stop chain about to eat the big one.

 

I haven’t been in one since Friday and last I checked it still sucked.

feel better?
