This truck is a really good truck. Stop to go to. It's always been clean. The food is good. Don't have to worry about getting sick from the food. The people are amazing. Second shift is especially awesome. I highly recommend this truck stop. That being said, parking fills up fast, so you have to reserve your parking if you're going to reserve parking. Also, the parking is kind of smaller than what it should be.It needs to be a lot bigger here. Also, the handicapped showers do not have the chairs for the handicapped individuals. They do have bob tail parking. The truck stop is pretty decently located by the highway.
