    Pony Express truck stop off of exit 617, I 20 Marshall Tx. Place is a #### hole and with a big lot,,, problem is might lose your truck getting parked. Bad need of a grader, and cleaning.
    Shut down with 20 min left of my drive time, pti'd, logged off duty/SB for my 10. Gets changed into my street clothes, walk inside for some India food (now my 14 is down to around 40 minutes), freakin clerk tells me it is $10.00 for 10. No signs, or info on trucker path, or truck stop pro.
    Hey I don't mind paying for parking if the trailer landing gear will not drag, and I don't need a tetanus shot just to walk the restroom. Think you get free parking with 75 gallons ( that was being debated my the two clerks).
    Bagged supper and ate an apple with peanut butter.

    Oh, big fan of mom and pops, but #### it to hell, offer something decent if your charging.
    #### should've waited to get diesel later today.

    Back in the day, that was the "National Truck Stop". Great food and although a gravel lot, it was smooth. It was a last stop for driver's with permit loads heading east out TX. Lots of escort companies met their loads there.
    Like they say, "you can't go home again", because home ain't there anymore.

    Used to stop there all the time. (many moons ago) I once sat in the plastic chair in the shower and it collapsed under me. I told the "manager" and when I came thru again in 2 weeks, same thing happened !

    Didn't a driver somewhere else have a problem with a chair in the shower and end up suing over it?
