Review for Pilot Flying J – October 15th, 2025
I arrived on October 14th in the evening to spend the night and drop anchor. The night crew, especially Frankie, was very sweet, and her team is a wonderful crew — truly one of the best night crews I’ve dealt with.
In the morning, I went to take a shower around 8 a.m. The shower attendant, a man with a gray beard, was outside the shower saying curse words or expletives that I believe were directed at me for taking about 45 minutes. I have medical issues, and it takes me longer to shower than most drivers.
At first, I planned to leave five stars, then considered lowering it to four. But after I called and spoke with Melissa, the manager, about what happened — including the dirty look and rude behavior from the attendant — she was very sympathetic and professional. She said she would coach him and make sure he understood that not all drivers are in perfect shape. After our conversation, I decided to switch my review back to five stars because of how well she handled the situation.

Was asleep in prime parking. Security guard woke me up saying I need to move to Over Sized parking, that the spaces were bigger... They are the same size. Thanks, not to mention I was asleep, but to come beating on the side of the truck! Be careful here anyways from all kinds of roudy folks!
