There is a pilot right across the street,from the T/A,pretty small though.

 

That's the one. It's hard enough to drive through the pumps, let alone think about parking in it.

Another one is on I-78, exit 5 or 7 in New Jersey - just as horrible - maybe a little worse (if that's possible).

 

I found a place in Pennsylvania a few years ago. It's listed in the truck stop directory. I needed fuel, but could not get to truck to the fuel island. Had to drop the trailer on the side of the street and bobtail in. That place is listed as a "truck stop", but even a 48' trailer won't make the turn.

There's another one in New Mexico. Pilot owns it now, and it's gone downhill. It was one of the places I'd stop to eat even if I didn't need fuel. Parking for more than a thousand trucks. Of course, Pilot has made use of some of the parking lot for other things now. Restaurant is not the same either. Really gone downhill.

 

Unfortunately, when Pilot buys a truck stop they get rid of the restaurant and bring in a McDonald's or other fast food type of restaurant. It is unfortunate that they would ruin a good truck stop.

 

Even Mcshite would be better than most the abominations served up at a lot of British truckstops... :lol: :lol:
And don,t know about the States, but in U.K , Mcdonalds do a cracking bacon sarnie at brekkie time :wink: -served with cup of tea of course...

 

Yeah, sure enough. It's funny how I never noticed the Pilot there, considering the hundreds or thousands of times I've been past that T&A. (Only stopped once though. Once was enough. I never met a T&A I didn't immediately despise.)
