    Just because the aggravation on getting in out.
    I only had one, the TA in Florence KY. But now I have another the Loves in GA. Exit 310 on. I 75 north.
    Both spots are decent but fuel and a scale ticket shouldn't take a hour plus on a regular basis.

    I avoided the one in New Paris Oh. Durning the construction. But thats all cleaned up now.
    Can any one add to this to try and avoid a huge loss of time

    The pilot on just past Charleston, WV. The line to the fuel Lyle goes around and through the entire parking area. So if you’re going in there to park, you won’t even be able to back in and if you do have a courteous driver who’s willing to hold up the line even longer so you can try to back in you’ll have to do it from a very tight blindside. With about 20 trucks waiting for you. Lol once you pull into the truckstop you’re trapped. There’s no way out except to go around where the line is and through the fuel aisle. Last time I was there I got stuck in there for 90 minutes. It’s the worst designed truckstop I’ve ever seen anywhere.

    Every pilot/flying j are number one
    Loves is usually number 2 because most of their lots are so small

    ta if I’m desperate for a shower then I’m getting the heck out of there

    pretty much all mega chains

    Flying J #1177 Slover Ave. Fontana, Ca. Pulled in and saw the cluster and thought, "Oh well, I'll just flip around and leave" It took me 30 mins. to get out of there and I was BOBTAIL. If I had a trailer, I might still be there...:oops:
