    I've never stayed there. I always stayed at the love's.. which can be a little tough to find parking at but is a decent place. When I worked for System I would go across the street from our yard to the Petro and stay. that is a good place in Spokane. The J in Spokane is terrible

    Stepped into the I-55 truck stop there in Bolingbrook IL which was always a cesspool, however they put in nice tile and wood finish in the men's room along with gooseneck auto faucets in the marble countertopped sinks.

    That's cause it's a Broadway. They refuse to put any money into them or clean them. I will not stop at any of the Broadway locations ever.

    OMG Don't EVER go into the FlyJ in Winchester, Va off 81 anywhere after 16:00, even if you need to just fuel you may get stuck there for 1/2hr waiting for to fuel then another 1/2hr just trying to get back out! It's famous for the craziest place in the east, trucks coming & going in all directions blocking any spot they can fit. Trust me, it will be like fighting off sharks to get back out!

    That's becoming common with the 30 minute break. Yesterday went into 2 different truck stops and got trapped behind 2 different guys doing 30 minute breaks in the fuel island. Trippy thing was, both places had a garbage can one spot over from where the driver pulled up to wait. All each of these guys had to do was pull ahead, jag out a little and back up against the garbage can and stay there all day if they wanted to without jamming up people like me running in to grab a coffee.
