- RWRoy WatanAug 16, 20265.0⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best truck stops in the area! The customer service is excellent, the staff is friendly and respectful, and the entire place is very clean. The restrooms are some of the cleanest I’ve seen on the road. It’s also a great and safe place to park and rest overnight. I especially appreciate that they allow cargo van drivers to stay overnight and get some much-needed rest. That means a lot to drivers who spend long hours on the road. Excellent service, clean facilities, and a very welcoming place for drivers. Highly recommended! God bless you all 👍👍
- DWDonny WheelerAug 16, 20262.0I'm just curious...... Do you think this is ok? This is the average experience in pilot flying j on a daily basis across America. Loves isn't much better. Why does ta/petro not have this issue? 🤔🤔🤔 Because they prioritize physical shower banks of 10-15 showers vs pilots 3-8 average. You have the square footage / real estate to fix this problem. Don't blame the drivers. I've been coming here for 10 years and it has not improved whatsoever.....This shower queue is 3 hours long.......
