- NKNurseit KalbaevOct 12, 20255.0🗓️ Date & Time: 12 Oct 2025, 11:20 AM 🅿️ Parking: ⭐ 4 — about 100 spots, plenty available at 11:20 AM, easy to park. 🛣️ Pavement: ⭐ 3 — main truck lot is okay, but the driveway to the fuel station (behind Boss Truck Shop) has a wavy surface with several bumps and potholes that need attention. ⛽ Fuel Pumps: ⭐ 5 — 7 pumps, diesel $3.89 / DEF $4.39, new touchscreen setup, clean area, modern and convenient. 🏪 Facility: ⭐ 5 — very clean, upgraded to the latest Pilot standard. Coffee was great as always, and the new creamer machines taste really good. Nice touch replacing plastic straws with wooden ones. 🚿 Showers: ⭐ 5 — total 5 showers, 2 available, no wait time. Used shower #3 — spotless, high water pressure, everything worked fine except the hot/cold knob which could use minor tightening. ⸻ ⚠️ Notes for Pilot Management • Driveway condition: wavy and uneven surface with some potholes leading to the fueling area behind Boss Truck Shop — should be resurfaced or leveled. • Shower maintenance: shower #3’s temperature knob doesn’t adjust smoothly — minor repair recommended. • Positive highlights: very clean facility, strong water pressure, upgraded pumps, great coffee setup, and friendly environment. Staff are doing an excellent job keeping the place in top shape. ⸻ ⭐ Overall: 4.5 / 5 Great stop overall — clean, modern, and comfortable. Only small improvements needed on the driveway surface near fueling and a minor shower knob fix.
- IJI'm JoeOct 9, 20255.0This place is great, lots of gas side dispensers and clean facility. Big bathrooms and they too were super clean. Several hi flow pumps out back. I noticed there's another Pilot on the other side of the freeway. What's all that about? Anyway, this place has very nice folks inside running the place. Nice gas station
