    It’s a clean Flying J with lots of FREE parking and some prime parking Just the opposite of what we’re used to Fuel today was $6.07 a gallon Which is pretty good Of course they offer their dried out pizza and over cooked dried out hot food items The store seemed pretty clean The showers here are amazing I was in 9 and it was huge with awesome water pressure and it was very clean minus the black mold But all the Js and Pilots are that way lately There is a Cinnabon here And the ladies that waited on me were the nicest I’ve met in a while at a J Come for the parking

    I’m not sure if he’s the manager of this location but he was wearing all black with the flying j tag. Basically we (truck drivers) have been up since 1am and showed up 5am needing to use the restroom bad so we pulled into the truck parking and parked next to the nearest truck. Not blocking the entrance mind you, we were gone maybe three-five minutes and this guy was by our truck on the phone with such and evil tone in his voice saying quote “ I’m on the phone with (employer) but the driver came back” we open our truck and with his evil tone he also said quote “ move that shit or else I’m towing it!” We comply patiently and move to the proper parking apologizing along with saying we were only using the restroom. We then go into our uber to go eat breakfast and the same man yells at us saying quote” you can’t leave your truck here I already have you truck number and company name”… he had no interest in ask what our intentions were at this flying j and instead was evil and rude. Sadly we didn’t stay and eat we got out of there and went down to a different spot not bothering anyone.

    Stopped got fuel. Then inside to get breakfast, biscuits & gravy. It was horrible. Biscuits dry and hard, service sucked. The guy didn't open the biscuits up just dumped about half a spoon of gravy on the biscuits. This place has gone to crap for food service. I won't try to eat here again. That's right try since I couldn't eat what I got it was so hard and cold. This was about 8 am on the 9/29/2026.

    What's the point of being an elite member if you can't even have something as simple as running water to take a shower? I will start getting fuel from a dependable retailer... like T.A. and Petro they always have showers available!!!!
