    What about the Petro in Atlanta off I-285! Worst place on earth!

    I would recommend that if you end up at truck stop do not go out side of the premises on foot without a gun and some back up, its a bad place !!

    On site, it's a nice truck stop. Step outside the gate and it's a different story. They do a good job keeping the trash out.

    I wish a lot lizard would try that. I'd finally get to see if they land in their feet, considering they'd catch a size 13.5 in the chest..."Out you go."

    the worst ones are the ones that have potholes all through the parking lot
    and Fuel spills at the pumps. Get tired of walking in fuel.

    Pothole lots are the best.keeps the 40 mph back row drag racers out, they hit one hole n bounce their tv on the floor one time they slow down or don't come back.:biggrin_25523:

    Speed bumps work wonderfully well Hey i had an experience about 5 years back at Flying J Jackson MS this security guard comes into the drivers lounge and starts asking everyone for there id or CDL most of the drivers just upped and left i stuck around and challenged this dude about what right did he have to ask anyone for id its a public place i dare say They (flying J) were trying to keep homeless people from camping out in the drivers lounge well thats what i suspected none the less this security dude wasn't too popular that night and thats the only time i've ever had that happen in all the flying j's that i stopped at.

    OK...let's add the Flying J in Kansas City, MO (I-435 x57) to the list of "I will NEVER come back to this hole!" Always dirty, small for a Flying J, sstaff is crap and unattentative, and just about 30 minutes ago, I witnessed no less than four lot lizards in the parking lot.
