    I know Flying j in Black River Falls, WI has rebuilt their men's bathroom. Now when you walk in there, it smells like a kitchen. Parking ain't to bad here, but personally I would drive the other way towards casino. I feel more safer in abounded gas stations than these cluster####s

    Pilot in nitro wv. If it's my assigned fuel stop, I request a new one. Place is ridiculous.

    Take Notice. most all Pilots/Loves "neighbors" are vacant fields ! Seems, farmer Fred has 50 acres for sale, Pilot comes along and says they'll purchase maybe 10 for their new truck stop. But you also gotta' remember, Pilot and Loves are ( in mgmt.'s minds) just for fuel and sodas/hot dogs then back out there.

    Not to mention that parking there is always a chore if not an exercise in cruel and unusual punishment you with the tight spaces it has someone is almost guaranteed to get their truck torn up. I used to shut down there whenever I ran I-81 but now I just use it for fuel stops, and even that is hair raising on a good day.

    I recently started hauling doubles for FedEx and actually driving out side of central NJ
    I was in Hagerstown MD exit 5 yesterday and on the way back home I decided to stop in for food and fuel
    I have no experience with truck stop but I thought all PILOT and TA and others you can just pull in and should be enough space.
    I got stuck. Couldn't turn around
    I had to breakdown the sets and rework everything

    I just had a big triangle run that took me from Inkerman New Brunswick Canada to Quincy Florida then up to the Toronto Ontario area, and I was dumbfounded at the the number of TA/Petro truck stops where, yes, ALL of the spots were angled, but in the wrong direction, forcing blind side backing no matter which spot you were trying for. Ridiculous, unless their intent was for everyone to nose in and back out, which is equally ridiculous.
