    I've made the mistake of pulling in here to fuel and (to try) to park for the night. Nothing worse than gettin stoked for that free shower and realizing you ain't getting a spot in a million years at the place.

    Wow, I've seen some truck stops with what I consider decent parking on here.
    My list:
    Flying J in Tampa across from TA. Maybe 8 spots.
    Pilot at exit 7 in NJ on I78, and now exit 12 too (RIP, Johnnies)
    Flying J/now a Loves in Tacoma is THE worst I've ever been to for parking.
    Any Pilot fuel stop with less than 10 spaces.

    No Loves over there. A couple of rathole Pilots over that way though, including one with zero parking and no food, not even a Subway.

    Toms brook is only bad because it fills up so quick and is so busy. Same with the Hess.

    My father in law and I both parked at the Hess two nights ago after we both unloaded at Home Depot. We got there at 1930 and there were still a lot of spots left but by 2100 it was packed.

    Im surprised nobody has mentioned THE WORST truck stop in America... The one that is there.

    New Orleans. My GPS didnt get the update about 99% of the truckstops in New Orleans being out of business. I was there in 2007, drove around for 4 hours but was afraid to stop...
