Another pilot burned down...looking like a pattern here..

Couple different things depending on who you talk to...

... As a convenience stop (i.e. stop-&-go), they're fine enough. (Well, many

Does anyone know whether they're self-insured? I know a good number of decent to mega-sized trucking companies are; don't know whether the same is true in the fuel stop/travel plaza business.

 

Gosh that actually sounds like Binghamton NY. Pumps are so close to the road you can be fueling AND sticking out. Parking on both side of the island once you pass it, but they took out the parking guard shack. There's an old foundation that might have been where you pay to park, unfortunately it's taking up two spaces.

 

Hey Buc,
Is it Fultonville? One of the original TA's.

 

Yes, that's it.

 

Russia , did you hear that ? Please do that !!! Wait ! Just to the CEOs. Lol

 

I've considered that 5-6 acts of coordinated arson could shut all trucking down on the east coast.

New truckstops?!? Not in MY backyard!!

 

its insurance fraud. they burn down their locations and use the insurance to rebuild rather than use invested $$$ to remodel or renovate.

 

As long as the old Clinton truck stop is open, who cares.

 

Didn't do a very good job,
just went through a week ago and they're back open.

The old Clinton truckstop? I think I ended up there one night before I was a truck driver and honestly I think that's the land that Pilot bought at exit 13. Because I stumbled into a diner to use a payphone and the "indy" truckstop closer to Clinton doesn't have a diner. Looks like just parking, pumps and a small garage.

And I know it's not the Clinton Dinner with all the billboards and the train car attached. I pass that place every week and still haven't gone in because "no trucks!" But I am curious, maybe someday I'll go.
