Worse truck we ever drove was a 2006 Freightliner Columbia. It was extremely loud to the point it was hard to carry on a conversation at normal level. Rough riding, felt every bump and grove. Rattle, shook and things fell apart.

And I stand accused of being a PILOT hater..... Keep goin', Bud. There aren't enough of us around. PILOT still flurishes.

And as long as Pilot keeps giving big discounts to the mega fleets they will continue to flourish.

Now, suppose those "MEGA-COMPANIES" started to have a problem hiring drivers because PILOT doesn't care about the driver's needs... Like good wholesome food to eat or a place for the driver to park and take his/her "FEDERALLY REQUIRED 10 HOUR BREAK". Think they might start going away from PILOT then? Think about it.... No drivers, no company... All we have to do is keep these new drivers from signing with any company that uses PILOT for fuel.....

I know.......GOOD LUCK...........

For steering, a cabover is best.
For ride, a cabover is worst. That left front tire is kicking you in the butt all the way down the road.

Spread out a map of NYC, close your eyes, and put your finger on the map. Even good looking women are not worth the trip to any part of it.

What is the worst dock to get unloaded in?

ANY FOOD WAREHOUSE

PILOT... Fast food is not "food".

worst place to get unloaded/loaded in???

Any place that when you ask how they are doing and they just take your bills and dont say a word! And they act like YOUR the reason they are having a bad day.

Id have to say one of the worst places to unload is the place across from the TA in Jessup MD(forgot name of the place)

Also.... Springs Industries in Lancaster/York/Rock Hill, SC plan on being there at least 10 hours..last time i was there...appt at 9am..arrived at 8am.... left at 0430 next morning!!!! happens every time Springs Industries gets my vote for being the worst!!!!!

Another truck stop that rates right at the bottom along with Pilots are the TAs. Dirty, cramped and hardly a decent place to park. I am sitting at a TA as we speak here in WV only because there is nothing else in the area where I could take my break. I have a shower credit but I am afraid of what conditions the shower are in. My favorite truck stops are Flying J's.

IMO, it's a Peterbilt 379. Can't say that they are all like this, but the ones that I drive are extremely noisy and ride like a tank. Not popular opinion always, but I'll take a Freightliner Columbia any day of the week.

I'll agree about the Northeast, but I also hate PA and the area around Detroit. Then again, I hate just about everything about "that state up north".

Any dock where there is a union present. Steel mills can be as bad as any grocery warehouse...

Have to agree on the Pilot's. As for the food, Love's is just as bad as Pilot though.
