Best and worse truck stop

the old Walt Whitman truck stop. it is gone now and the last people who owned where middle eastern

 

lol maybe you should look for another line at work. never understood needing to drink every night. seen so many drivers walk back to their trucks with a bottle...lol

 

I think even that pilot is better than the one near Roanoke, VA.

 

The only thing positive to say about the PIlot in Minooka Illinois is when heading west you are about to enter the 70 mph zone. Its just a landmark not a truck stop!! LOL

 

That's exactly the one positive thing about that Pilot.

 

Valpo has (I think?) 5 parking spots??? I had a load going past there a few years back, and my grandma lived within walking distance. So, it was good to get to see her, but it was a pain to squeeze my truck into the potholed parking space.


As for best, I used to like the TA in Dexter MI, parking spots are wider than usual, so even bad drivers can do it without as much risk of hitting me. Now I like the PFJ in Ottawa Lake MI, as well as the brand new Pilot in Holland.

 

Valpo has about 20 spots, certainly wouldn't plan that as a spot to stop for the night, it's the luck of the draw.

 

I only stopped there the one time, specifically to see grandma. I didn't call ahead, so if there wasn't any parking, she wouldn't be disappointed.
