    What truck stops should I NOT park at?

    I've heard stories about parking at certain locations and I would like to know which places are those.

    Frankly, I do my best to stay out of all the chains...PFJ, TA, Petro, Loves. Always seems to be some kind of drama going on

    The Pilot and Ambest in Charlotte NC. Atlanta TA is another one and from what I remember you have to pay to park there.

    It's on i80 close the the Nebraska border and where it runs into i29.

    No parking on 80 of course at night so I make my own spot and someone called the cops on me. They also had no food all their crappy places to eat close early.

    Most all of them are safe and ok.
    Maybe the truckstops in Atlanta may be questionable due to the low life people that live there.

    If we rate areas that are safer then anything North of I-40 would be better than anything below it.
