    I consider Walton and Florence to be the same area. Yes, both Pilots in that area are awful. The Flying J has a ton of parking, but good luck getting out without knocking on someone's door so that you have room to move. The TA in Florence is your best bet. The mechanics there are fairly decent as well if your truck or trailer needs a bandaid.

    No offense taken. I am one of the biggest critics of this state.... criticisms that aren't very well received these days because after being gone for 20+ years I'm pretty much considered just as much of an outsider as you. Love the state, can't stand 90% of the people. Nice thing is that land is cheap here and you can put yourself in a place where you don't have to deal with the people unless you want to most of the time.

    Oh and that Go-Mart on exit 95? I avoid that place at all costs. Last time I was in there was when my trainer was bringing me home for the last time but the load didn't take him any closer to the house.

    Yup, that's the one. The truck stop itself wasn't bad. Actually kinda roomy considering it's location. And like I said, the restaurant across the street was pretty respectable. But man it gets nutty at night around there.

    You know, I've heard that exact same thing from a friend of mine at home. He's originally from WV and moved away like 25-ish years ago and gets treated like an outsider. Even by his family. Weird.

    A lot of 'em don't like it when we come back with new lifestyle philosophies and new devil music for their kids to listen to. They want things to never ever change, and we are a threat to that.

    Man did I just catch a lucky break. Got unloaded before my appointment time, and I got permission to park from a local store 3 miles away from my pickup in the morning. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe this calls for a beer. But alas, there is none to be had around here :(

    Nope, this is the fault of the broker, not the load.

    Sounds like an opportunity to solicit a shipper direct. ;)
