    I’m a truck driver and I’ve been to hundreds of Pilots across the country, and let me tell you — this location has one of the best employees I’ve ever seen. She keeps the coffee area spotless every time I stop here. Most places are messy, but she stays on top of everything and you can see she takes pride in her work. Super friendly, professional, and honestly one of the prettiest and most positive people I’ve seen in any travel center. She deserves recognition. Great job!

    CHECK YOUR DOORS!!! They broke my seal and left my doors open. I was parked all the way at the back near the fuel haulers. Showers are spacious and great and the workers there are nice. This place almost always has parking even late at night which is good just be aware they are people breaking in. This is the first it has happened and been coming here for the last 2 years

    Someone tried to rob me last night. They cut the seal and door chain, but I was hauling recycling paper so it was not interesting for thieves. I didn't figure it out until I got to the company to deliver.
