Was on I-80 a lot this month. Was wondering what others thought.

As a truck driver, I don't like Pilots that much because they are generally smaller and harder to get into and out of.
Since I do the same route every week, I really don't go to any "real" truck stops. I usually go to quickie marts that have enough room for me. |
|
The ones on the Ohio Turnpike are very nice (most of them anyway).
ETA: Highway rest stops have always struck me as creepy though (especially at night). Seems like of all the places you are likely to encounter a serial killer, rest stops would be high on the list. Maybe I've just watched too many movies though. |

As a truck driver I vote TA. The rest ONLY if I need enough fuel to get to a TA. Did anyone ever find you, Ninelivez? I did  But I did it by calling him  someone else did find him later.
I prefer petro, but rarely stay at any truck stops. I fuel at pilots, but try to sleep at shippers or recievers. |

Mmmm lot lizards. 
If the lot lizards really looked that good, I'd be taking commercial driving lessons. |

Flying J. +1 I prefer the Hook. Aviator If you're just running in to grab something to eat, the hook owns all. Except the few Petros that have snack bars. Yeah. That Flying J out near Troutdale, OR has made a lot of excurisons to Eastern WA, Eastern OR and Idaho possible.

The highway entrance/exit where I get on I-84 all of the time has a TA truck stop that real nice as far as truck stops go. Its well lit, clean, has good food and always has the lowest gas and diesel prices in the area. I usually go there when I need to fuel up my car. |
| I don't know where the hell it was...somewhere along I-81 going north from Mannheim to Binghamton. There's this huge fucking place that's like a mini mall. Restaurants, shops, etc. with a huge food court like seating area. I'm used to the little fuckin hut on the side of the road. |

Don't know if it is still like this but AVOID, EXIT 3 on the Jersey turnpike!! I do not even remeber the truckstop but the fucking "LOT LIZZIES" ther swarm your truck like a human wave attack!!!
Christ i stopped ther strictly because i was out of service hours and every five minutes while i tried to sllep.....Boom, Boom, Boom "20 Bucks round the world!"(Meaning anything you want them to do,NASTY!!!) I usually cracked the drivers window a little bit and yelled "Hell, No! i wouldn't touch you with my worst enemies dick, GO AWAY!!" Finally i broke the regs and pulled out of there after 15 minutes and 10 hookers knocking to find some peace and friggin quiet. |
