I use to come here 4 plus times a week as a otr driver and would be a stop for my family heading out of town. But ever since Mat the general manager got promoted its really gone down hill. Dirty bathrooms and store. Equipment not working. And they always run out of cups. So I stopped coming for a while and have been going to the loves across the street. But I decided to stop in yesterday and to my surprise the entire soda machine didn't work and 2 coffee machines where down I just walked out and went back across the street to get my coffee and fuel.

It says 26 paid spots available on the app, so I paid for one. I was lucky that I managed to find one open. So many that didn't pay, including a bunch of dropped trailers. Flying J is normally pretty good at enforcing their lots, but not this one.

Recent interaction with Manager Jay and his Assistant Hector were very rude and unprofessional. Previous Manager, a female but don’t have her name, was always friendly, accessible, and helpful. Recommend Loves across the street if you want helpful service!!
