    Pretty aggravating. To get up an hour before your 10 hour break is up and find the "truckstop " closed. I stopped here because this place has been featured in "Truckers News " several times.
    When I went in last night there were no hours listed on the door or anything to indicate it wasn't open 24 hours .
    With e-logs I can't even run a mile down the road to the next exit for coffee

    No Coffee in the morning first thing sucks. I carry a thermos with me and I always fill it up sometime during the day. That way I have my "fix" even if it's a dirt lot for the night. E-Logs bite ( I'm on them too) for so many reasons. This is another one.

    They used to have the hours on their doors. But like most things at that place no one maintains anything beyond the minimum necessary.

    I quit going there when in the middle of reweighing a load the girl said sorry we are closed. No problem I'll take my business to someone who operates 24-7 like this industry.

    That is what a bottle of water, Instant coffee, and a stinger are made for. Coffee for when nothing else is available.
    Or if you have a microwave, faster HOT water.
