    I see on Pilots website they have a new location listed in Joliet,Illinois at Rt 53 and Laraway rd... Their is an independent truck stop at that location... Anyone know if pilot bought them out or are they actually building a new stop?

    66 Truck stop is on the southwest corner. Brand new Pilot on the southeast.

    Lots of DOT, Sherriff and even local cops authorized to perform DOT inspections in that area.

    There's a big movement in will county to ban truck traffic. I no longer take loads that have a drop there.

    I don't blame them when you have incompetent drivers using a cemetery to turn around in

    The major problem that causing this truck traffic is that rail yard in Elwood. That place is huge with hundreds of trucks coming in and out all day long. And always in a hurry
