Best Truck stop in the USA

I retired last year but I remember some good Truck Stops. 1.Stage Stop-Boise,ID,2. The Loves -Clovis-NM(Restaurant next door is GOOD)3.Truck Stop west of Bainbridge GA. 4.El Rancho-Cabool,MO(Not great,but decent)5.Whites-Raphine?VA(One Cool T.S.)6. Any of the Bosselman TS's(Loved the Homemade Potato soup and a sandwich)7.TA at Las Cruces NM (used to b a great stop) 8. TTT Tucson AZ There were more but these stood out for me.

 

Oh years ago there was a truck stop called the Giant Truck Stop I remember it being wonderful. Last time I was there was back in the 90's It was out west going toward California. I bet it was bought by one of the franchise and ruined!!!

 

It's a Pilot now and like ALL Pilots it's a dump with poor service. I remember when it was the Giant too...It was pretty good.

I like Newells Truck Stop in Newton, KS. I always get treated well there and the resteraunt isn't bad.

 

After reading your list I feel like I need to send you a fruit basket or something. You have a murder's row of swillholes there.

 

I rarely tried to sleep at a truck stop so I always found the "bad" ones to be the best. A ton more entertainment watching the idiots and hookers compete for attention. I would grab a shower without touching anything and head on down the road to a rest stop or Wal-Mart to sleep.

 

Aussiejosh the Walcott TA claims to be the largest T/S in the US. I asked one of the employees how many trucks they can fit in their lot. He told me 800 and they can fit another 200 in the nooks and crannies when I-80 is closed down. If memory serves the family that owns the T/A franchise also owns the property and can expand the T/S parking lot if they saw fit too.The nicest T/S I've been to is the one in Little America,Wy.,even tho its a little on the pricey side. I don't have much of a problem with lot lizards. Of course it helps that I have Charley Manson eyes or so I've been told.

 

One of the best truck stops i have been to is Dodge city travel center in alabama i65 exit 299 Nice lit parking place is as clean as can be and good food.

The worst truck stops that i hate are the Flying j and the TA in Lake station indiana

 

the one that i remeber the best had to be the giant t/s in nm' the place was very nice the showers were very clean the restraunt has some good food to eat' if you wanted to go up front they would send the bus to pick you up and take you back to the truck'love going to get some go-go juice and see a friendy face when you went to get your fuel recept'heck were else could you go and get your wind shield cleaned for you.love going in and getting the t-shirts too.but now that pilot has it'it has gone to hell real fast.
