I have to admit that I have my favs, and my worst.
Favs or Lewiston, my home terminal, no security and friendly people
Fontana due to the food trucks and the majority of the people of friendly, the the guy at the window during the day and early morning, they will hook me up with a good load.
Sparks, especially if mt and very, very early in the morning. Person at the window, will take care of you.
Saw Houston for the first time the other day, and parked right next to the door, and the first thing that I see walking back to the Transflo, if you need an MT, see the guard shack. When walked outside, ran into the terminal mgr and was able to talk to him about a problem that I had at Home Depot RDC regarding getting a mt because did not have a pplan, and right away he was on the phone, talked to them, problem solved for future drivers.
Always had good luck at the Laredo terminal. Stay away from the Papa Johns guy and if you want pizza, get it from the local that comes around. Also people at the window have treated by fair.
Columbus, in and out of there as fast as possible, and the same with Phx, only go in there if need to t-call a load, other wise, will also just purchase my fuel outside. Hate the inspection lanes.
Mira Loma, only there if t-calling or picking up t-call. Been a few others, but have not really spent any time in them, just in and out, just like SLC. Dread picking up a t-called load there. Never know if going to have to move any trailers around just to get to yours, kinda like denver.

Ya, Denver.
Always too full, but the people are decent.
Never had a problem with the shop there either.
Just dropped my mt there yesterday for my home time.
Double parked it in a middle row because I really didn't feel like blind-siding it in to one of the 2 open slots.
They need to move that terminal outside of town to somewhere with more room. -

Denver is a love hate relationship with me. i usually get stuck doing a 34 there so its got stuff close to it so thats nice. but i dont see the reason for 300 trailers taking up every space available. usually end up parking on the street. sparks,nv is my favorite jsut cause its always quiet and ive never had a problem parking there. and the petro has good food. mira loma is another one that ive never spent time in but picked up a couple t-calls in. kinda hard dropping mt's in there

First time I t-called a load at Denver I gave up trying to find an spot for it and ended up dropping it in front of the shop.
I like Denver but never park in the terminal, always on the street. -
The shop at Jamestown does good work only open M-F I seem to always end up there on Fridays when I need a reset so I get paid and reset my hours. I like Fontana my home terminal (but I live in Texas) since some of my favorite junk food I mean fast food places are walking distance.

My new last favorite terminal is Memphis. I overnighted there last week and they make you disconnect from your loaded trailer. WTF!
-
Yeah Rows are too close together it's kind of on the small side.
When I was with my Mentor he parked and went to take a shower Security came to the Truck and told me to move.
Security came back a while late and ended up putting a nice red sticker on the side window..
Then he (Mentor) told me to start disconnecting real slow so I wouldn't finish before he got back.
