I would have to say...the TA in Morris, IL. It's generally pretty quiet at night. Got a couple of shade trees and I'm usually never there that long. Lol

I believe the true cash cards cost more points, but you can actually get food cards for drinks and food for less points
it's really a good deal.
too bad the Marathon and Pilots aren't on the same point system, sincethey are all owned by the same company

I think Marathon and Pilot actually split a few years ago...

I'll have to get one of the Speedway cards next time I'm in the right area. I use the GasBuddy app on my phone to find the lowest price nearby when possible.

The TA in Antioch, TN. It is where we spent most if our time on the road. Great areas off property to walk for our exercise. First runner up: Flying J in Laredo. Clean and even though the landscape is, well, west Texan, plenty of room to move around and keep the blood flowing.

I split time between Wal-marts and TS's just depends on my mood...if i feel like interacting with others, then i'll head for the TS's, if i just want time in the van, and rest, its Wal-marts or Home Depots..or most any bg box store...

Loyality to one brand is hard...I was a "J" tourist until the buyout...then I switched to TA and I loved their showers, even bought the same shower head so i could "change ot" the places that didn't have that head if i had to go somewhere other then a TA...but then, I started using the fuel card issued by my carrier because of the discounts we get, and TA doesn't except it. So now it is the "J" and Pilots...one thing i can say ...the new promotion at the Pilots, "the best shower on the road"...they can stop it anytime...they are still no where close to the quality of the TA showers...and the cheapskates cut back to 1 towel since the buyout also....

ask for a 2nd towel theyll give ya one without question
