The employees just wanted a few weeks off, so they torched the place as cover!

I hate that pace. I have complained many times about the loud speaker playing music and shower announcements all night. That is one tough parking lot to get some sleep in. At least it will be quiet there for a while!

I haven't sleep there since the J opened in Whiteland. I have stopped for fuel a few times.

That place was always too noisy for me. It kicked off my using earplugs to sleep (which I still do today) and sleeping at Lowe's or Wally (which I don't still do).
If Sally ever dumps my ass, I think I'd build a truck with 4-8" foam panels to fully insulate for temp and sound. NEVER slept well on the road. Of course it would have to be a cube to lose that much wall. So I'd be able to haul about 1,000#, right? Maybe 2,000#?

When I do sleep in the van, which isn't often. It's never at a truck stop. And I've never stopped at this J

I've bought the new 2016 truckstop book. I'm finding and seeing more mom and pop truckstop to go to and to hang out at if there's no PFJ or TA/Petro around. And they have better food.

tknight · Mar 26, 2016

Some of those mom and pop truck stops scare the bejabbers out of me, especially in boston

DollarSign · Mar 26, 2016

Maybe you should be look for them despite the 4 horsemen being around or not.

I stopped by the MrFuel in Girard, OH, because I like their deli. Well, the tags looked familiar to me, so I asked if Pilot does their deli now. With a smile, she said "Yes! They do!" I gave her a look of disgust, which was just nausea from being sick. (No telling how much more sick I would've been had I eaten that crap.) I looked outside to see where I could walk to get some REAL food. There was a GD Pilot next door!!!

They ruin everything they touch, if you ask me.
