Truckstops, Rest Areas, Other Safe Havens: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

Ive really come to like the pilot at the 240 on 65.. seems theres always room there. The road coming out of the parking lot is pretty rough so keep it slow

 

I live just off 15 that runs north/south through Williamsport PA and Corning NY. I see Millis trucks on 15 all the time. Inbetween on the south bound side, just north of Trout Run..I believe it's the Steam Valley exit...is a place called Fry Bros. Turkey Ranch Reastaurant. If you're ever running through there and looking for a bite to eat, they have exellent food and truck parking.

 

the lil bp's and marathons always seem to have a spot when there is no room at the big guys one more truck at the rest area usually works and as much as i h8 it the coops always have room. Sara Lee up in Zeetin Mich still lets u stay overnight and
I have vacationed at BUD plants b4. b4 elogs i would just slip down to the TS in the morning and grab a coffee and a shower. My 11th grade creative writing class has gone to waste

 

Big Cabin Travel center Big Cabin OK. at I-44 and US 69 awesome biscuits and gravy all you can eat for 3.99 biscuits melt in your mouth

 

Clarence's Steak House on 220 in VA next to the Exxon we scale at for Eden has good steaks, Wings (pilot ts) on 80 near the Shelby IA Menards good cheesesteak.

I thought Big Cabin sucked the one time I stopped there and ate, had the omelet and it was awful. Winchester VA Flying J is horrid avoid it at all cost if you value your safety bonus. Same goes for any Service Plaza on the Mass. Turnpike. Yuenling Brewery in PA don't count on being able to park there if you get a load, small small place, one area where turning around isn't a exercise in dodge the hood of the other trucks.

Most of the Paper Mills will let us stay there no problem, Fusion in Conn. has a huge lot we can park on, plus there is a big gravel lot you can park in. The Seneca Smoke Shops in NY almost all have Truck parking. Mead Packaging in Chicago you can park there if you have to. The Menard's DCs all have areas to park.

Also if you find a place that will let us park and its not in the Qcomm directions that we can park there, send the macro to dispatch, hopefully they will edit them.

 

I'll be there tomorrow afternoon about 2.30, I live in seven hills 18 miles away. If your there look for 8718.

 

i have to agree on clarences steak house great place and great food met the owner great guy

 

I'll be gone, Im here now.

 

Thats about 25 min. from my house Curtis...that has been rough for years...they actually just worked on it last summer lol

 

Have stayed there a few times already, Also have stayed at exit 230 a few times.
