One of the worst Pilots I’ve been to. They don’t like oversized loads and will make you leave illegally after dark.

This is the worst pilot I have ever been to because I paid for a parking spot I showed my receipt to the manager who came to my truck wanting me to go inside and purchase the spot. still she called my office and threatened to have me towed away and demanded that I leave the property. She claimed to have issued a refund which we all know pilot does not do I never received a refund and I have the receipt for the purchase I never got out of my truck I didn't do anything or speak to anybody else got harassed and abused this is the worst truck stop I've ever been to because of this.
