    Like putting lipstick on a pig.

    I think Pilots should start installing pee troughs right down the lines in the parking lot so no matter where you are, you park, you arent more than 10 feet from a urinal. I bet people would still piss on the ground.

    Most Pilots I have been in East of the big creek are just a place to get your truck hit or damaged, try to avoid them at all cost.

    Are you saying we are not supposed to pee in the parking lot?. My trainer said that's the way to do it!. He told me all the drivers do it because it waists too much time going inside the truck stop.

    NLR Pilot getting a makeover? I can't wait to see this fiasco waiting to happen. Especially DURING the renovation.

    why it wont be any different there will still be a line of trucks out to the hwy waiting to get in. the onlything that will probably change is the prices. have to pay for the remodling somehow!

    The one in Charlotte, NC is currently closed, also getting a makeover....anything short of blowing it up and starting over won't be enough for that place, though...

    Oh, great, the only way (that I know of) to the North Little Rock Maverick terminal is right past that Pilot. Hope they do not have to close the road to Maverick to do this remodel especially since I have to drive my hubby to/from the terminal so I do not get left without a car for weeks on end while he OTR.
