    The entrance to the Corbin, KY Pilot comes to mind. Maybe it's a Love's now?
    The entrance is off a side street and there are two big holes a foot deep. Nighttime gets many drivers as they are hard to see.
    The truckstop refuses to fix them because they are on county property. The county refuses to fix them because the truckstops traffic created them. That's what a clerk told me.

    But hit them and at minimum you will be throwing stuff around in your truck.

    last time I was at the flying j in Penn state I81 exit 219 I think. there was a hole on the street at the exit deep enough to hold a 6 wheeler. Matter of fact I swore there could have been a panther truck in there. It seem like that parking lot was new last fall . Whoever built the foundation for that one ripped someone off.

    There's that one in Red Oak, TX, off of I35E... can't recall the name of it offhand. Some lots have potholes... this one has moon craters. The guy who parked next to me for the night ended up getting stuck in one of them as he was leaving. We ended up having to run some chains from my DOT bumper to the hooks on the front of his power unit to get him out of there.

    Just came to mind: the entrance to the T/A in Prescott, AR (I-30 x44). I swear, you could fit a couple of 4-wheelers in some of them potholes.

    I dont know the name of the truck stop but I think its a conocco gas station/truck stop in Guymon Ok on Us 54 I stopped to take my 10 hour break and stopped right in a hole and when it was time to leave me to leave I had to go back and forth until I got out. Also when I had got out of my truck i couldnt reach the ground without jumping down!!!!
