    The ta in baltimore. I wont park there and only fuel there if needed.

    The pilot in carneys point, nj fills quick due to the bar across the street. Not to mention only 10 spots. The flying j by it is nice and roomy.

    There are two TAs. Both horrible, but the one on the south side isn't as bad as the north.

    I don't even try that pilot. I go straight to the j.

    I say any service plaza on the MassPike is the worst. You'll wake up and be trapped. I've pulled into one to piss and had to have state police to make someone wake up and leave a fuel island just so I could get in off the entrance ramp. Everyone refused so I had no choice but to call the popo.

    worst I've seen are...

    Pilot -Charlotte
    Pilot -Winchester, VA
    Pilot - Newburgh, NY
    Pilot - Weed, Ca
    Loves- Tacoma

    Once I had to scale a load at the Waco, TX flying J and then left without the ticket because I couldn't find a spot at around 3pm on a Sunday, which makes me wonder.. I see a lot of people saying Sundays are good for parking, but that seems the worst day for me, like a lot of trucks are parked on Sunday, as a general rule seems to me the truckstops are busy on weekends but the rest areas are more open than usual on weekends

    When I worked at Stevens, for about 6 months we were prohibited from parking at the Gary, IN T/A for those reasons. When things "improved", the ban was lifted and it was put back as an authorized fuel stop.

    The parking isn't that bad though.

    Pilot; Caddo Mills, Tx, I-30 exit 88 I believe? The two rows by the CAT Scale have to be about 40 feet from each other.

    The Flying J in Texarkana is not bad to park, it's just bad to get out of lol people parking EVERYWHERE, I think one of these days they are just going to park in all of the fuel bays and then put a sign on the entrance that says no one enters or leaves until the sun comes out.

    The Pilot in Syracuse was a real fuster-cluck. The T/A off the Thruway west of Albany is a toilet too.
