- MMMiami876 days ago1.0The most disgusting gas station I've ever seen. I paid for parking, but they kicked me out that night. They said there was no receipt. I figured they wanted me to pay for parking a second time, but I left.
- IGIhsan GokcayNov 15, 20251.0There's no free parking, parking costs $30, and there are only two showers. Why is everyone in America trying to capitalize on a crisis just because there are no other truck stops around?
- SLStephen LewisNov 14, 20255.0Update: November 14 2025 Came here today to get some fuel & water. This place is packed with drivers. Not a lot if parking. So you got to get in where you fit in. Came here to scale out & fuel up. Place is busy and not a lot of parking. Only a few spots. BAMA TRUCKER - ROLL TIDE
- HTHOME DEPOT TRANSPORTNov 12, 20251.0Which 2.7 . 0.1 is the best estimate for this traxtap, how many people have already said that everything is sad here, the employees have been working and working for more than 3 years, why the management of the holding does not respond to comments. Here's an example, a young man with pigtails is standing at the checkout, pretending to be a senior manager, it feels like he's the director of this entire site, he's standing and really mocking the drivers, who are tired and paid for parking, and he's mocking, go home, boy, play the system and computer. The company has already created a system for you, and if the driver has reserved parking on your territory and the system has allowed it, then there can be no mistake. Teach your employees to provide service, because they work in the service. The only courteous guy is the one who washes and cleans the shower, after all, God gives cultural behavior to whom he offended in something else. And in general, cut off his pigtails , curled like..... God forgive me!!!!
- SMStephen MNov 7, 20251.0Paid $30 for parking. Love having the convenience of toilets when I need them in the middle of the night only to find out that they closed the store at 10pm on a Friday 😩 Never coming here again! I’ll add this to my avoid lists which includes one in Nitro WV but for different reasons.
