Luv's in Gulfport, Ms.
Fuel prices were lower, which is why I stopped there a few times. It was dangerous getting in, and dangerous getting out. I was trying to save my company some dinero, but the lost time, and the added risk just wasn't worth it!! Don't even know if it is still there since Katrina hit!!

Yeah the only truck stop in TX was a PIA to get into, it was the loves off of HWY 10. Nice place, but about the size of the head of a match.

ahhh..where to start lol....lets see...theirs a mom and pop across from waffle house at exit 29 in cincinnati ohio...i actually had a roach walk across my table while waiting for my food...needless to say i didn't eat ....
I've heard mention the truckstop at exit 157 on i-55 in joliet IL...even the fuel islands look like $#!+ and be careful if you do fuel there because they are slick..... some of the food is tolerable though the truck city truck stop in detroit off of i 94 ...didn't sleep a wink...restaurant closes at 7:00...bums everywhere and if your not alert they steal the steps right off your truck..... they also steal all your chains binders and tarps... the Gary Indiana t/a is a winner...but i hear they are trying to clean it up a bit... but a couple i haven't heard yet are the flying j and the pilot on the bottom of the loop in Indianapolis in or the pilot in Memphis tn

T/A in Montgomery, AL is a dive! T/A in downtown Nashville was pretty interesting the night i stopped for dinner there! Any of the truck stops in Gary and Lake Station,IN can get pretty scary. I run that lane quite a bit along the 80/94 and if I'm bringing a load into Michigan, I'll keep going until I get to the T/A at Sawyer,MI or the J at Benton Harbour(The only time I'll stop at those truck stops in Gary or Lake Station is if i'm on the verge of running out of fuel!!
