    got on a regular/dedicated run delivering to a foundry in warrenton,ga. and had to stay at the Love's 4 nights/week for a couple weeks.friendly enough.the showers lacked in cleanliness often.got my money's worth at whatever chicken place is in there next to subway regarding vegetables,i am a vegetarian, even though i spent $7.00 average per plate.hot meals can't be beat at times and eating out of the truck gets a bit old.

    the subway for breakfast was above par,coffee selection lacked as i love expressos and this Love's took the machine out while the gal at the c-store epitomized what all clerks should indeed act like 24/7,whether they greet a driver or a regular person.

    beer is cold out of the cooler and there is a fair selection of single brands from which to choose.parking is fairly easy until around 20:00+/-.

    Love's fuel has not let me down yet trash wise as seen thru my davco filter.this Love's is higher on fuel than the one in cartersville,ga by about 6 cents i think. the tire shop is above average w/fair deals.blew a month old hankook 11r24.5 cap on my trailer which ripped my already torn mud flap more(something about scrap metal being dumped on flaps that shortens their life) and i parked w/a NEW Double Coin trl tread and a very nice material Loves brand mud flap turned around for around $300.heck,a used tire was going to be right at $200 for not even 50% along w/the mud flap.

    waffle house is the only other eatery within most driver's walking distance and the parking spots are seemingly wider than most pilots/others yet drivers still can not park evenly and the fuel pumps start being blocked for extended times early evening.some things never change

    I say they should have made all the truckstops buy more property. There are some that are very hard to get into, esp if you get there later in the evening. I really don't know who designed them but they were not realistic on room.

    Husband stopped at a Stamart in Fargo, ND I-29, exit 66. They had .75 laundry, and he said the hamburger he had was good, had real meat in it.

    The subways we ate were good usually, we had them put on all the veggies except for the jalapeno peppers, that was when they had the $5.00 foot longs with just a few meat selections, but the chicken was usually 2 fairly large white meat pieces.

    It does get tiring eating out of the truck all the time, and some of the fast foods are good, so aren't, but that is everywhere anymore.

    Thomson is the 172 but i'm sure that's the one you mean......yeah not a bad place parking wise lot is a little bigger than most loves as far as getting in and out and being able to get in/out of the hole without watching all 4 corners at once...... many spots surprisingly still open after 1900-2000 had to stay there couple weeks ago. kinda sucked I had no tv signal figured that close to augusta would at least get a few channels and I've got a good antenna but not one channel and internet was spotty and slow at best on my network. kinda made for a boring stay but was pleased to have that much room to move at a loves and plenty of room to get out around the morons that just refuse to park in a parking spot no matter how many empty spots there are.
