    I don't get all the Pilot hate. The T/A stops are nasty. A lot of them are. And the chain restaurants in there jack up their prices so bad. Not the same for Pilot, unless its the pizza smut express, which I don't eat anyway because pizza smut isn't real pizza. Love's is exactly the same thing as Pilot. Where's the hate on them?

    Honestly? I think it's the same mindset that makes Walmart a constant target. The largest, most successful airline. The largest bank. They don't like them because they are the biggest and the biggest evolves into the representative for the "evil corporate titan". Also, having the most stores means you have the most exposure and we all know positive exposure don't mean squat, only negative exposure get's recognized.

    Also...Have u seen the Peelot clean their showers with ur own eyes? How do u kno they arent just cleaning the floor with water only? Just because they r newer does NOT mean they r cleaner. To think that is gullability. They could be in a big hurry to clean those showers when they r very busy. U dont know if Im wrong or right. Things that make u go HHHMMMMMMMMMM?

    There are more than the one.

    Well, I can give a list of around 150-200 that I have been to and showered with nothing wrong with them. Always had good service from 90% of them, so they will always get my business. Not a mega t/s. I also know that I dont stand alone on that note either. Many other drivers also stand up for the little man and are proud to stand by them too.

    I use many of the smaller stops as well. There are some that are okay and are fine too. But, there are some that are bad.

    You even have problems with the chains as well.

    I don't think so. I hate Walmart, but not Pilot. Seriously, what I think it is, it's that Pilot has a different business model than what some want. I understand the desire for sit down restaurants. But it's not economically feasible to have these most times. Especially a 24 hour one where between 11 and 7 am 6 people come in. It's also got more of a c-store feel. Some drivers though, they just feel entitled to EVERYTHING. Free coffee, sodas, etc. they feel that they should be "truck stops" instead of travel centers.
