    I use to go to the one on 95 near baltimore, md It was always pretty shabby. I will not go there aymore because the maintenance of the building is below my standards. I think that the cleanliness of a place reflects probaly the quality and safety of the food. So if a place isn't kept relatively clean I won't go there.The last thing I want to do ishang at a t stop becuase I got sick because of the food.

    Ahh, a little E. Coli never hurt anyone---keeps your liver strong---I eat a spoonful every morning.

    That little BP across the street from the Campbell's Soup plant in Maxton, NC. Run-down, shabby, parking for about 10 trucks. Oh, and lot lizards banging on your door before you even get a chance to park. If you need to take a 10-hr break while you're there, go south (back towards Hwy 74) and go underneath the overpass. You'll see a Hardee's on your right with a dirt and gravel parking lot that can fit about 40 trucks. And, if you need to do some grocery shopping, there's a small Food Lion next to the Hardee's.

    I remember the one in Stockton, Ca sucked, The one with the dirt parking lot. Also, Albany, Ga. I love Gallup, NM truck stop. The one with the little Mall in it. And there is a cool Pilot in Virginia, but, I have learned to avoid the big ts and stick with the small town boys
