    You can do your own video of the TA Jessup, MD and other truck stops and post it on You Tube. I would be interested in seeing those and hearing the comments.

    hey, you could always start a web-site. But remember that www.flyingjsux.com is already taken.

    "dots going round and round" means the video is "buffering". Which means you should either let the whole video "load" before you watch it, or your internet speed is WAAAAAAY too slow.

    I believe its popular because it is right across the street from the Giant Food distribution ctr. Most of there appts are very early in the AM.

    Yep, the Giant Food Distribtion Center, the Maryland Produce Center and the Lancaster Foods Distribution Center are across the street (Assateague Drive).

    Also, I think the Fish Market that used to be in the Inner Harbor of Baltimore is also across the street.

    Here's an observation report from Saturday, October 3, 2009 ...

    It looked to me like the truck parking area (Idle Aire side) was about one quarter empty.

    The non Idle Aire side (closet to the fuel pumps) had only about four trucks in there.

    It looks like the managers of this TA have hired one or more Howard County police officers who are off duty to patrol the area in their marked police cars. As I walked by the officer, a young black guy in plainclothes was madly typing something into the dashboard computer of his marked police car parked in the four wheeler parking area, in front of the Country Pride restuarant section of the T/S. Which happened to be three quarters empty.

    In the lobby, the sign that said NO ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES ON THIS PROPERTY apparently has been removed.

    New T/A employees are from Eastern Europe. Maybe they could get visas for jobs that Americans did not want.

    The unexpected patrols of employees are still going on. They pop into places where you don't expect them and at times you don't expect them. Sometimes they are by themselves and sometimes the employees patrol in a pair.

    Screw the jessup t/a.


    Drivers do yourselves a favor and steer clear of this place unless emergency.

    There is a smaller, better truckstop about 10 miles away which i can give you details on thru pm or maybe i'll post info here.
     
    HFC Thanks this.

    I hear they even charge to park at the dive better known as that TA in Jessup. TA should be ashamed of themselves for letting this one and some others become such a horrible place to go to. Reminds me of the one in Conley, GA. Thank God that one closed down
