- RTRoss Turner1 day ago2.0The store itself is fine but the lot is absolute pandemonium. The amount of paid parking is getting absurd at PFJ these days. I guess I get it with all the people trying to use truck stops as their personal drop lot instead of just a place to rest but at least give us parking credits for fueling like TA does. Man. Hard to believe I am saying something positive about TA.
- PHPam Harper2 days ago5.0The staff were awesome, especially Nick. He really went the extra mile to help me and my friends out. The showers were super clean and fresh towels were included. I would definitely use their facilities again. Pilot's are great!
