    It's right next door to the pepsi warehouse. But the TA is still there. It's cleaned up now...the chain link fence around the property helps.

    I'm sorry but the professional driver areas are for the professional drivers, so all you people in training have to walk around front to the main entrance. :p

    Thats the one. When I was with CRST back in the mid 80's it was our fuel stop in Dallas.

    I never have trouble parking in CA.
    And i wonder if the casino, has realized how much money truckers spend in a casino. Thankfully theres still Wendover, free showers in the free drivers lounge.
    Just pass on by Mesquite, and stopp in Jean / Primm

    I don't know if it was previously mentioned, but the nicest T/A that I've been in is the one in Breezewood, PA. Better restaurant, better parking, and better ambiance all around inside.

    Hi, okay let me make this clear, right off the bat, i'm not here too make anybody mad or upset the apple cart, but here go's, the truckstop's any truckstop's are what make the truckdriver make of it, if they choose too wheeeeeee all over the ground, why would they care too upgrade the parking lot , when your gonna go wheeeeeeeeee all over it, or why would they bother too upgrade the resturant , when the truckdriver consantly belta about the bad service,or the the shower's when they leave nasty do do in the toilet and too lazy to flush:biggrin_25512:, its up too the truckdriver and general traveling public too take care of the truckstops then mayby they make a nice one for the general public as well as the the truckdriver.:yes2557: but the best i seen is wallcott , iowa-Iowa 80 TA :yes2557:

    The best TAs I've been to were the ones where TA didn't have control of the restaurant:
    Breezewood, PA
    Morris, IL
    Albert Lea, MN

    ..I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting about.

    The best TA I ever ate at isn't there any more. It was on I 71 just north of Columbus, 1st exit north of the scale that was there, mm131 I think. It was not very big, maybe room for 50 trucks at the most. I met Linda Rondstadt there once when she was on tour.
