Diamond J's off old exit 15 I-80 in PA, I remember when you used to hold Wrestling events in the parking lot, with these no name WWF type wrestlers from out of town. Never seen so many people gathered at one truckstop in my life.

They went out-of-business a few years later

Though I don't exactly remember where it is I know the one. Not enough room to wait in line for fuel so down the road I went. Smallest chain T/S I ever saw. :roll:

OK, let's go for strike two!! Anyone ever had the pleasure of stopping by the Three Sister's Truckstop in Fontana, CA. Not too far from the CRST *%$^%$yard.......errr I mean dropyard.[/quote]

I've driven by there in my car a few times. What a dump. It's right near the Peterbilt dealer. Is there a connection? :lol:

The TA in Limon Colorado could use a bit of paint, and perhaps some floor tiles. Not necessarily new floor tiles but just replace the randomly missing ones. :lol:

Funny, I've never had a problem there at all... and been stuck there several times for nearly a week. I always stop at the same one.. I can't ever remember if it's technically the east or west one though... it's the newer one...
Turn left off Milliken Ave after getting off I-10, Milliken EAST. Turn right off Milliken Ave after getting off I-10, Milliken WEST.

To be honest, I never had issues with the East one. Never parked at the West one so I cannot say. Last time I stopped there they were still in the process of converting the West one to a T/A.

Thanks, I had to mentally drive myself there since it's been a good nine, ten months or so since I've been out that way. I'm pretty certain the East is the one I always stop at as well, and have never had any problems.

Yeah that truckstop is nasty...... But if you walk next door on the other side of the fence there is a BBQ place they have excellent food. I eat there everytime I go by there.
