    Swift has a shared terminal in that area, no need to park there.

    that doesnt mean a thing.
    Look at the Petro in Sparks,NV right next door to the swift yard, yet all the swift trucks park at the petro.

    It would be cool if the crime and beggers moved to the pilot. The ttt has been the worst place Ive stayed at as far as weirdos and strange activity go. 1st time I stayed the cops kept showing up lights and all at the same truck every 30 min. I also couldn't walk from the lot to the store without getting hounded for money by the weirdos in the parking lot. 2nd time the cops picked up these guys that were going from truck to truck knocking on doors. And I had the same problems with the weirdos in the lot wanting handouts. I have no complaints about the truck stop itself, great food and good chrome/accessories shop inside. If they could get the zoo outside under control it would be nice.

    Ive only eaten dinner there twice. Once I had the Spaghetti with meatballs and the 2nd time I had the Cincinnati Chili Mac (Omar‘s famous chili served over spaghetti covered with shredded cheddar cheese and onion).

    Both dishes were great!! The portion size is enough for 2 people!!

    Funny, I've eaten there 3 times so far. 2 of those times were horrible. I also have had their chicken fried steak, and let me tell you, boy was it lousy!!! It had that nice quality rubber texture that you get from microwaving frozen, boxed fried chicken too long. Terrible. I had some pancake and egg special something or other, and I couldn't cut my pancakes with my fork! Was like chewing maple flavored gum. TTT stands out in my mind as one of the lousiest places to eat. Hate that place, but I keep going back for some reason.

    I've been known to park at that petro! You can literally throw a rock from petro to the SWIFT yard. I only eat, shower and do laundry there tho then it's off to the terminal for a 10.

    Well if the cops were there, that means somebody is doing something. A lot of drifters move through Tucson it seems.

    Been stopping here for 10 years, and not once have I had a problem, nor have I see undesirables. DPS and the Locals cops do come around here often . So your welcome to go park at the j in phoenix, leaves us more room at the TTT.

    I always get a room in Eloy now. $45 for a clean room off sets the $40 in fuel for a/c, wear and tear on the truck from idling all night to run the a/c, and the $12 shower in the morning. I don't have to fight for parking. Plus there are several restaurants in walking distance. You can gladly take my spot at the TTT.
