Dallas truckstops to avoid

All of them are dumps. Ghetto, lizards, thieves you name it.

 

Basically, stay away from the Flying J at exit 472 and you'll be good to go. Never been bothered at the TA at the same exit.

 

I’m based in a suburb on the east side of Dallas, but if I was traveling through I wouldn’t park/sleep at any of the ones off of I-20. Heck, I don’t even fuel at the Flying J at Exit 472, slightly preferring the Pilot at 470 (our company prefers that we use PFJ for fuel, and that’s where I have points).

 

“Dallas truckstops to avoid”

Every single one of them.

 

Where are you coming from? Denton to the north has couple of Love's and a TA. Weatherford to the west has several truck stops. Hillsboro to the South has a TA and a Petro. They all tend to fill up early. It's been awhile since I came from the east.

 

I've personally never had a problem at any truck stop in Dallas. However, if you're going west past Dallas, try to get to Weatherford. There's decent options there

 

Truck stops IMO aren’t the biggest issue. It’s the 4 wheelers who all drive 102 mph and weave in and out of lanes thinking they’re in nascar. Coupled with zero fear and respect of big rigs. If that’s not enough, Dallas doesn’t know how to set up proper construction zones. You’ll literally be driving along, go around a corner and the lane just ends or head towards a concrete divider with ZERO warning.

 

Depending on where you're coming from, if you're coming from the east, south, or north, I highly recommend the Texas Rose.
There's a loves maybe a mile north.
Otherwise, I can't reccomend anything in Dallas
