The average Yelp user does not drive a semi. That's ok. This place is outstanding even for normal people, with normal jobs!
So this review is going to be heavily slanted toward semi drivers, (but I'll provide parenthetical explanations for non semi drivers).
Because this place is SO shockingly different from the run of the mill truck stop, it's noteworthy.
Ok first, parking. Every single parking space is super easily accessible, as a straight line back slot. Need a mile to get your trailer just so? No problem!! There is at least a mile worth of room going forward! (Car drivers. Wow, semis are LOOOOONG! Oh my word, I watch them all the time, you could see an entire billboard posted on the side of a semi trailer, and fall asleep before you read it all! Dude, it takes SO long to get a trailer perfectly razor straight with the truck, when you make a U-turn, so you can back into a slot. Like you need a couple thousand feet going forward, at least, I'd say. This place has SO much wiggle room, that's easily acheivable! Like someone fresh out of truck driving school, with the ink still wet on his freshly minted CDL, could EASILY park in this place, without destroying someone's livelihood by tearing off their hood trying some tricky backing maneuver they arent used to doing just yet. Yay! I love places like this!!)
Ok second. Prices. This truck stop has SHOCKINGLY reasonable prices. I am not lying, I would know!! (Car drivers: you know how illegal it is to price gouge during a pandemic? Yeah... truck stops never got that memo. Hand sanitizer for $5 an ounce, masks for $12 each- I'm looking at you, Pilot. That was a thing. That's always a thing. Truck stop McDonalds dont have a dollar menu, they have a $5 menu, etc, truck stops know we can't exactly park at 7-11 or the local corner grocery store or hit a drive thru when we are 70' long and almost 14' tall, so they take advantage of drivers, as hard as they can! Such is life. We cant write to our congressmen, because we cant swing a semi into the post office to mail a letter. This place has prices so low, it's outrageous!!)
Third... oh dude, the bathrooms. Heavenly. Absolutely heavenly. (Car drivers. Oh my word, could you imagine if your life suddenly took such a left turn, that you could not use your home bathroom for ANYTHING, except for a few days every 3 months? Now just imagine that. Where would you shower? Where would you.. ahem... among other things... This place has it going on!! That's so, so rare)
Ok to sum up, this is a better than 5 star place. If you drive a car, you should start buying all your gas from this place, to help keep them in business as a truck stop.
If you drive a semi, DUDE!! WOW, CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!!
If you drive a semi as a company driver, and are limited in where you are allowed to buy diesel, DUDE! CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! PARK HERE! SHOP HERE!! Then shop some more, you can always use more beef jerky, souvenirs and whole grain sandwiches! read more
