- JAJim AApr 21, 20261.0Wow. I've been to a lot of Pilot truck stops with my motorhomes but this one was bad. At least 2/3 of the truck lanes out of service, and none of the DEF pumps operational. Credit card machine on the one truck lane i tried in error and beeping non stop. Ended up just leaving anf going to the Chevron as I could fit.
- MMMichael Carannante (Mikey)Apr 12, 20265.0There's no sidewalk to the travel center from across the highway. We had to Uber across.
- MFMr F8hfulApr 11, 20264.0They get the 4stars because the staff really tries. Establishment might be under staffed but they trucking along. The night before this post the showers were closed overnight. Morning showers 1-2 hour wait time. Afternoon shift came and got things rolling again. Hopefully, I speak for all truckers thank you to the staff members at this establishment for not letting the downtime show..
- ANAleksandr NoskovMar 29, 20261.040+ minutes to get a shower with 0 people in line. And it is like this every time; they absolutely do not care about drivers or your time. Awful.
- QRQ RoseMar 20, 20262.0Showers were clean today and the ladies in the store are all nice but the guy who works at the front counter I think his name is Kris .. helped and smiled even giggled with the ladies that were in front of me but as soon as I walked up, he didn’t acknowledge me. I had to ask him how he was doing and had to make him say hello. That is very unprofessional you’re here to do a jobso do it to the best of your ability or find another one.
