I think booting is a ######## practice but I don’t want some guy to make it worse by cutting off a boot and going to jailalds Thanks this. -
Many ways to get a boot off, many ways to get the guy who put the boot on to take it off too

I passed by this truck stop a lot back when I worked for good ol' Big Orange.
I recommend that you avoid this place, anyway.
Unless things have miraculously changed, the lighting (or should I say, the lack thereof) in the parking lot at night is especially bad.
The truck parking area is tighter (and trashier) than what I would say is average.
And yes, it's not in the best part of town.
Also--when making a truck area exit turning north on US 431--it's actually dangerous (at least, in my opinion). The exit is such that you're on a hill, and you can't see traffic coming southbound until it's too late! This is a GREAT place for a traffic light (unless one has recently been installed).
Use the CAT scale there (if you have to) and be gone.
There's a Love's not far from there, also in Phenix City. But it's classic Love's parking (not many available spaces).
I even used the CAT scale up at the Love's, instead.
Yes, sadly....the Columbus, GA & Phenix City, AL areas are pretty skimpy on overnight truck parking options.
I simply ran my clock so that I had access to parking elsewhere, in either AL or GA.
I would submit that....in all fairness....if you drive a truck for a living....you deserve MUCH BETTER than what this place offers!!!

This is why I carry a cutoff wheel. Just leave the pieces behind, If its not a Police Boot cut it off and leave.
