By far, one of the worst pilot I ever visit there are two parking patrol workers one of them. He was so high and he’s on the clock crazy.

Take the Walmart shopping carts back!!!! I am so tired of lazy drivers!!! Don’t mess up a good thing for us!!!! You can park here and literally use the back gate and walk to Walmart for all your needs, but drivers need to take the shopping carts back to the Walmart lot! I need for us to take accountability!!! This is a great place to stop for fuel or a simple 30,10 or 34! Other stores in walking distance. A truckers paradise if utilized the right way. Hotel next door as well for those that want to get out the big rig. Yes it can become crowded the Walmart can hold a few trucks. I just ask that we as a trucker community keep up the places we call home away from home!!!!!!!!
