I’ve been here since Monday afternoon waiting on my load to be ready. It’s now Thursday. Wednesday morning is the only time I was able to get Pilot coffee. The rest of the time when I checked the Pilot coffee was empty leaving us only the nasty swill Dunkin Coffee. How in the world are the coffee thermoses empty in a truck stop in the morning? The employees are completely indifferent to anything other than snacking and gossiping on the morning shift. At least the showers and bathrooms are kept clean and everything on the fuel island works.
