    Loves was the cleanest but they're starting to decline in quality. I've noticed some of the ones I stopped at in the past have went downhill since. I try to park at shippers or receivers when I can, or a truck stop that nobody knows about. Doesn't matter how many spots are open at the mega stops, some inconsiderate driver will park right next to you while you're sleeping and slide his tandems 50 times

    Loves for cleanliness & availability.

    Pilot for the points all the way.

    Either for coffee, but prefer Pilot coffee. However, I'll look for places who serve Community (brand) coffee

    Mom & pops and odd ball places for good, real, greasy spoon, sit down restaurants.

    Wow, people actually like Loves? They are some of my least favorite - overcrowded and small and always full... and so boring and sterile/corporate. However, I never eat at truck stops and only ever go inside the building to poop basically, so I'm biased towards huge parking lots with easy parking.

    My favorite truck stop of all time is Russel's Endee in NM on I-40 just east of the TX border. It's got a free car museum! And a huge lot across the street that's always empty, so I can lurk way in the back and enjoy a quiet night of sleep.

    Was parked at a pilot in VA for my 34, for two days they didn’t restock the TP in the bathroom. people yelling for TP from the bathroom and walking out all angry :)


    Always check before you enter and always have spares.

    I felt bad for the drivers. But this trend of stops going downhill is becoming a bigger problem.
