This is my hometown truck stop used to be halfway decent but a few years ago they took away the bobtail parking area upfront to add a plastic barrier, so trucks don't park there that only causes trucks to park beside the plastic barrier, making it tighter to fit . They made the whole back and side section reserved parking , and today they're making the whole front section prime parking whatever that means. Photo shows in yellow where you have to pay for parking and red where we used to be able to park but now is no parking.
UPDATE: moved my truck to second row cuz they made the 1st row prime parking, go back to my truck after I did laundry and now 2nd row is "PRIME PARKING" guess I will find somewhere else to park for the weekend.

Last time I stop here. I understand myself as well as 20 other drivers were not in spots but when we run out of time or we are exhausted we need a place to stay this was the only place that had a reasonable amount of space for parking and trucks to get around. We parked out of the way and neatly but yet one employee 3 times bang on our doors yelling at us to move trying to explain we are out of time and our clocks are resetting he constantly nagged us to move waking me up out of my sleep when there are other drivers parked in the same spot I was earlier they weren’t being bothered. Last time I’ll be going here. Moral of the story leave drivers alone at night we don’t wanna be where we are at we are forced

Just want to let everyone know that you need to put a pad lock on your trailer here if loaded. Woke up this morning seal was broke and both door are unhooked. Thank goodness that we had something on that they couldn't get off. Plus, we started looking around and we wasn't the only ones that they hit last night. Plz be careful out here anywhere u stop. Have a great day.
