The worst truck stop ever. The manager of this place has absolutely no courtesy towards drivers. You pay for parking and then they ignore your reservation. The restrooms and surrounding area are filthy.

Now the first time I walked in here I had good customer service from Autumn. I had to purchase a gas can cuz I was out of gas. There's no instructions on how to use this stupid freaking 20/25 gas can and it took two officers and me to try to figure out how to get the gas in my car sitting on the side of the road. And tell since I can't use it I wanted to bring it back and they refused to take it back even though it's not 88 compliant there is no instructions on how to use the stupid nozzle they're just nobody knew how to figure out how to use the stupid gas can and they refused to take it back. Now that's lousy customer service and a lousy way to treat a disabled customer
