    Pony Express Travel Center in Marshall Texas.
    I picked up some cable and then went to get fuel and a shower. I left without getting the shower. That place is so dirty I wouldn't even wash my dog in that place.

    That one can’t even be considered a truck stop-and even then just fueling there is a cluster****! Pilot should be embarrassed for putting their name on that hellhole!

    Much as I hate to say this.... Stamart in Grand Forks has really went downhill. The employees there don’t even care to try and keep it clean or do much else there. Even before PFJ bought them out.

    I've got you beat if the number of parking spaces is the determining factor.... Pilot at exit 201 off I-95 in Cocoa Beach Fl. That one is built on a postage stamp, just FIVE parking spaces! Watched a driver slide his trailer down one of those concrete barrels they put everywhere - blew his front trailer tires b/c there's just no room to maneuver there. I haven't been back to that nasty mess since they built the new J at 202 though. (Although that one needs about 3 times the parking it got - about 100 spaces) at least the food is good, not subway rubber sammich.

    The one in Ellenton has truck fuel pumps but zero truck parking.
    The New J at the 202 is ok but for some reason they made all the rear parking curbs about ten inches high?
    When I back in with my car carrier it leaves my truck nose sticking out 8 feet in the isle passed all the other truck hoods just waiting for someone to come thru and rework my hood.

    Again, there's always Port Jervis to make even that Pilot feel better...

    Curious: is it a Pilot Express? I know PFJ has been putting a few of those (or converting brownfielded locations) in several areas. Jacksonville has one going up the northeast side of 295 that really ain't hardly worth going to, same with with Pilot about an exit or two from the Loves in Tacoma WA. (That one is ingenious for reversing the entry of the scale from the entries of the fuel lanes--never mind the headache incurred just to get to the doggone place.)

    That place is a big no for me. I don't consider a truck stop a truck stop unless it has showers.
