Best Truck Stop in Florida

Petro off west side of 285 exit 12 I think

 

good luck finding parking this time of the year...

BBQ at Daytona Pig Stand is good..

If I had to pick a favorite out of the slim pick'ns down there I guess I'd go with the 595 truck stop or Cafe 27..

I shouldn't have posted that because now both places will get over run with mega fleeters..

 

Haha.. that's the Petro in Atlanta. You're off by just 1 state!

But, I honestly can't think of a truck stop in Florida that I like. They're all either dirty, charge you for parking or packed to the gills 24/7. Many are all 3. I guess I like the Petro in Ocala the best, since there's always a spot waiting for me, it's clean, and it's free.

The aforementioned Love's in Palm Coast is busy as hell, and full by 2 or 3 pm, since it's the closest stop to Orlando. And since it's next to the Harley dealer, they actually forbid trucks from parking there during bike week. I couldn't call a "truck stop" that panders to literally anyone else who isn't a trucker (even if it is for just a week or two) like that a truck stop I like, but hey, to each their own.

 

There is a truck stop in Orlando but its a dump...avoid !

I forgot about that Petro in Reddick they use to have really good food in there....Never thought I'd say that about a Petro but I'm going back a lot of years.

 

Not really a truck stop but worth a mention. somewhere just east of Lee there is an independent scale at what may have been a truckstop at one time, but now I think only the scale remains. I scaled a load of water there once that I picked up in Lee. The guy has an office Trailer next to it that he operates out of. Super nice guy, he comes out and washes your windshield and helps adjust tandems if needed. Even gave me a free cup of coffee and we chatted about cars for a while. I wish I could remember the exact location of this scale, I tried google but couldn't find it. Anybody else know where I'm talking about?

 

I think I found it, but looks like it may have been taken over by a pilot? I-75 exit 460. What a shame.

 

As a biker and trucker,this is why I won't ever stop here.

 

Whatever that truck stop is off 595 in Davie FL is a nice truck stop... I stayed there last week. I don't drink but there was a cuban guy there buying cases of beer and everyone was drinking. And they also cooked chicken on the BBQ on the patio behind the restaurant. It was also about 75 degrees and a little breeze which made it that much better!!!!!

Let me add: when I say nice I mean the lot is nice to park in.....I can't tell you much about the food in the restaurant, or the shop or any of the other amenities they have.

 

The restaurant is good but pricey..
