    Truck stops are known for having tight parking spaces. What truck stops do you think are the worst? List the name and location. It can be any place such as the big ones like TA, Pilot, Flying J, Loves, mom and pop places, etc.

    all flying J's as they are not designed for 53' trailers with sleeper cabs. Parking spots are only 60' in length.

    Eh, I find flying j to be generally open and easy to park in. They're usually spacious.

    Clinton is horrible. I always use the gravel lot across the street by the blue ocean seafood.

    Just about any Loves.
    Except the new one east of Las Vegas at Hwy 93 and I-15
    Small, tight spaces and usually behind the fuel pumps so you have to pull to the pumps, then back in.
    Then make sure the pumps are clear before you can pull out.

    That's because they are mostly attached to a Denny's!!! :biggrin_2559: I use a Flying J in Franklin, KY(exit 2 on I-65) every Tuesday night, I can show up at 11pm and always find a space...
