I usually get my showers at TA or Petro because they are cleaner & they have much more room. I was out of time and had to take my DOT break at this location. I was pleasantly surprised by the difference in the condition of this store. The girl that at the counter, Taya was very professional, she knew the store inventory, her appearance was outstanding, she spoke well I understood and heard every word she said the first time. I didn't have to keep asking her to repeat herself. There was a piece of linen missing in my shower, she went to the linen room and gave me what I needed. The shower was the cleanest Pilot / Flying J that I had used in my 11 years out on the road. I truly believe that Taya most likely is behind keeping this location in good clean working order. She is credit to the hard working people at these truck stops. I only hope there is more like her.
Sincerely,
Mike McKee

People are nice enough but they don't want to make people move their semi trucks out of the driveway when people are trying to leave. Don't let them double park in the driveway blocking the exit when people are leaving at 0600.
