- MAMarcin AntolakNov 4, 20254.0Great truck stop, clean and nice people, but i parked up on 11/3/25 and stayed overnight till 11/4/25. Woke up around 5am and did my pretrip and found my seal was torn off and trailer door was slightly open, luckily nothing was stolen, the rear of my trailer was facing Racehorse Dr, Flying J should put a fence or something up. You dryvan and reefer drivers watch out when you park and have your trailer facing that street

- TAtaha Alsn3aniAug 22, 20252.0The showers have an unpleasant smell. It would be great if they could improve the scent to make it more pleasant
- BQBryan Estevez QuevedoAug 19, 20251.0The worst truck stop I've ever visited. I went to sleep and there's a black person threatening that if you don't give him money, he'll come at night to break your truck. If you're a driver and you see that guy, report him to the police.
