    I've been to both TAs in the Nashville area. When we stayed downtown, we made a weekend of it. We walked across the bridge and hopped the bus (free) and hit some of the local restaurants. Got a great haircut and wet shave at a little barber shop downtown as well. Never saw the need to use the TA restaurant. IIRC, the other TA has a Popeye's and some other chain. You have choices.

    That's the only time I've stopped at that TA. I got stuck there in the flood. They were rather nice and accommodated me in the 4 wheeler parking lot since the other trucks were under water. They made their last sale to me with supplies right as the water come in the front door and they locked the place up. It was kind of fun parking at the front door before seeking higher ground.

    I interviewed a dozen truck stop managers and they all said the same thing. They rather manage Bubba's Diesel stop and Fireworks stand in San Carlos, AZ (US60 milepost 290) than deal with that Joseph driver again! :) jk

    Grease or more grease! :)

    May 2011 was the flood. Took them a year to rebuild and they made an effort to re-open with a nice, new, clean, courteous image to get drivers back there. I wondered how long it would take for it to go back to a craphole. A driver got jacked right at the fuel pump last year in the wee hours.

    Seems anymore the staff is comprised of the local sluggish, apathetic people. Too busy checking facebook to give you your fuel receipt.

    All these mega chain truck stops have bad food. Gotta hit the old truck stops for good food. Try bills on 85 in nc. And hood's on 44 in Missouri. Exit 61. That place is great, food like your grandmother made and live music. Good ol blue grass. Just watch your manners, those country boys will put one in your ear and not feel a bit sorry bout it if ya run your mouth to the ladies.

    Just don't like TA and ignorant people. I can make sure I never stop at a TA. The ignorant people part is unfortunate because I have to deal with them all day long. Almost no avoiding blatant stupidity in this industry anymore, it seems as if it's a prerequisite for becoming a driver.

    To be honest I'm not surprised. I found parking once at the loves at 11. I was just going to grab a subway and park at the Kentucky scale house but there were open spots so I parked, grabbed a shower and dinner.

    All the truck stops around pack in. Go figure.
