Truck Stops That re Full 24/7

Flying J in Fargo is a great place…..

to lose your hood amongst other things.

 

The last 4 or 5 years I drove, I spent at least half my time in the mostly French-speaking parts of Canada, so excusez-moi!!!!

 

Here's a few more:
Flying J in Stockton, CA
Pilot in Castaic, CA

There are actually two Flying Js near Ontario, and they're always full: Fontana exit 61 off I-10, and Mira Loma exit 42 off CA 60.

There's also a crappy Pilot in Colton exit 73 off I-10 that's always full on the weekends, but sometimes there's a spot there during the week. OK, that's enough California, but probably missed a couple.

Las Vegas had a horrible little Pilot but I just looked on trucker path and it seems it has disappeared. That is truly good news.

And no one misses the Pilot on Steele Street in Denver that was removed to make way for the I-70 reconstruction.

The Flying J and the Love's in downtown SLC are almost always full, but not terrible if somehow you magically get a spot.

The Love's in Tolleson, AZ is always packed.

The Love's in Las Cruces is always full and not pleasant.

The Love's off I-20 in Dallas is always full, and the Pilot a couple miles east is nearly always full. Both are horrible. Same for the Love's and the Pilot off I-35 in Fort Worth.

The Flying J off I-435 in KCMO isn't always full, just mostly, but should be bulldozed on principle.

The Love's off 225 in the refinery area of Houston is always packed too.

Obviously I'm bored lol.

 

Reading this thread to me hints that the only places for drivers to eat, and refresh and sleep, in the States are giant chain truckstops. Is this the case, or are there still the small family run ones with lumpy moonscape parking areas as we mercifully still have in abundance in France. Along with the Centre Routiers that we have which are large tarmaced parks like American ones, which are also, many of them, centrally owned but nevertheless of a high quality. (All but one which seems to have a severe staff shortage problem which means you can wait ages for your, nevertheless excellent, meal).

 

At least the ta baltimore south in jessup md you can park at but will have to get a paid spot witch cost 18 bucks.

 

TA east of Seattle in North Bend was always a cluster

 

only ever been there during the day for a shower, place needs to be updated and kind of a weird layout, but I did find parking, I have a hiding spot a little further east so I didn’t stick around

 

hiding spots are sent in PMs, don’t need them getting trashed like the mega stops do

 

Don't forget about the street out front of that Pilot in Castaic...unless the city outlawed the street parking since last time I was there. (The stop across the street from there isn't much better, but it is paid parking so if you need a spot early enough in the day, it does have that.)

I would respond with "except the drivers who need a spot that now have about 50 or so less spots to pick from", but that particular Pilot was such a craphole I don't even think anyone lost any sleep over it.

Can confirm. Also, a Lyft from there to downtown SLC might only run about $15, so theres that, too...)

Good ol' Corrington @ Front Street. That place should have BEEN burnt down. Funny how that rash of insurance fires seemed to miss that place...

I've never not found a spot anytime I had (or chose) to park at the Jessup TA. That said, every now and then—or at least the last couple times I stopped there—the attendant goes off duty or just isn't in there for whatever reason and then it's free to get out. In 13 years I think that happened to me three separate times...
