    There is an Exxon in Cochise NM. No idea what yard stick. The guy that works the register at night sits in his car, doing meth or whatever folks do there for fun, waiting on his next victim... I mean customer.

    Flying J on I-81,exit 323 in Clearbrook,Virginia. That place is a friggin madhouse. They made the row of parking closest to the interstate (east side of the lot) reserve parking (no surprise,the spots were all unoccupied)and you have to worry about someone taking their 30 min in the fuel line or parking in a spot wher someone might rip the front end of your truck off. I only go there for fuel now and find somewhere else further down 81 to shutdown.

    Pilot off I-65 in Birmingham,Alabama-as ghetto as ****. That city is ROUGH no matter where you go. At that truck stop you gotta worry about panhandlers banging on your truck in the middle of the night. Plus the parking is very tight.

    T/A off I-65 in Montgomery,Alabama- seems like everyone that works there acts like they've got a 10 foot pole shoved sideways up their ***.

    Pilot on I-84,Exit 1 in Sturbridge, Massachusetts- difficult to get in and even more difficult to get out. And that's during the summer. In the wintertime- ABANDON ALL HOPE ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE.....

    Drivers, you've been warned. :eek:

    Got another one for the list:
    Pilot,I-75,Exit 20,Cleveland,TN (20 min. NE of Chattanooga)
    This is actually one of the nicer upkept Pilot travel centers(albeit small)but the last 4 times it was my designated refueling stop 3 times Murphy's Law reigned supreme:
    2nd time I was there fuel pumps malfunctioned-meaning no one could refuel
    3rd time I was there their computer system malfunctioned,rejecting fuel cards in which again,no one could refuel(unless you had cash).
    4th time i was time-ALL of the bathrooms were OUT OF SERVICE(seriously,how could all the s******* **** up at once??)!
    It's like Pilot built the place on some ancient Indian burial ground and nobody bothered to mention it.

    I believe the cheap skate owner of the browns goes to trial soon.

    Uncle Pete’s has great food. I live in the Nashville area and eat there a lot. Even on home time.

    There was a small stand near a hotel and club situation in Raliegh NC north of there. It's one of the places I used for a bit of sleep off in the woods a little bit.

    It started going bad when the food truck (Roach coacher...) stopped serving breakfast at sunrise for the hotel people and one invidual came up with his wife to sell me her services in my bunk.

    I will not be back, it's not a formal truckstop, I can think of many bad ones but fpr a people to be really bad Raleigh was it for me. I realize its a center of medical learning and all, but such darkness cannot stand.
