TA in Jessup MD

Be very careful and try not to walk in the parking lot after dark. This used to be a fairly decent truck stop years ago but has become a hell hole. Being as the food market is across the street there is plenty of all night activity going on.

 

Don’t stay there unless you got no other option….

 

On the few occasions I stopped there for the night, I tied my inner door handles together for safety...

 

I’m 200 miles north of you if you need backup, lol

 

Use to park there twice per week some yrs back. Would pick up at cott beverage on US 1 then take a traffic break or bed down at TA then head out in the early AM.

This was back when the lizards and the pimps pretty much ran that area (before and after TA put the fence up).
I have never had any issues there. Just came through there 2 weeks ago. Parked at TA then walked over to the shopping area. And got some groceries and togo food.

I was in no danger!!

 

haz-matguu,
That is a change for the better. What a really nice design to that truck stop when I used to stop there before retiring. I used to park in the small lot between the fuel island and the main building without any issues. You couldn't walk from your truck to the main building without being approached by at least 5-6 "escorts" or their guards. Glad to hear that it is cleaned up.

 

I’ve never had problems there. It gets pretty crowded. I would be more worried for my hood than my life.

 

It's pretty sketchy I delivered to a cold warehouse less than a mile away.
