    There are so many I wouldn't even know where to begin. Mostly Pilots though. At that Flyn J in Aurora you can see how many times that fence has been hit. I'm always worried about someone running into me there.

    Flying J outside of Fife, WA near Spokane. Its a tight turn going in there and saw quite a few trailers almost throw their trailer on its side. Backing is a nightmare.. you have to have your tandems all the way forward just to be able to swing the tail end into a spot, and even then its CLOSE to an accident. I stay out of Washington if I can help it.

    Pee-lot (Pilot) in Denver CO. Need fuel? Got an hour to spare? I've never even SEEN an open parking space there.

    The Pee-lot in Kearney MO. is a huge pain to get out of. Wish they'd put a signal. The local residents don't cut breaks, in the typical Midwest urban rude way. (I realize Kearney is not quite urban, but its turned into a rural suburb of Kansas City.)

    Now we have to see if Loves will repaint the lines at the 26 peelots they have now.

    Do you mean the 1 at I-80 x122, Minooka, or the 1 on 57x335, Monee. They both are bad; Minooka has so much traffic that alone makes parking a hassle.
