Yeah, I'm sure there are some good ones out there. Most I've been in are the ones that I wouldnt care to stay.

I liked the Alamo better before Petro took over.

My favorite by far are the Bosselman Pilots.

I like Petro's in general and try to plans my breaks at them if possible. I like the one in Kingman, AZ. Also, the best Iron Skillet I ate at was the Petro right outside Spokanne, WA. Not to mention some nice eye candy waiting on me

Favorite TA is the one in Albert Lea, MN. I believe they are the nicest showers I've seen so far. I also like the TA in Amarillo.

Really don't care for the Love's and Pilots. There are nice ones out there but none worth mentioning.

Eh its nice but what is so great about it? It's rather small and there's not a whole lot of parking. No full service restaurant. Also when fueling, one has to toss the fuel pump up under the truck to get to the other side. There aren't fule pumps on both side, and the pumps are located on the right side. So when fueling tractor and reefer, you have to toss it under and back twice, when pulling up. That is a really bad set up; I haven't seen it anywhere else.

My favorite, there are a few:

For some reason, I have to agree, Little America in Flagstaff seems to be a favorite stop, have met some really neat people there.

The Choctaw in Calera, OK - on the south bound side, can be a little dusty, but you can always find a roomy spot to park - and there is always the casino across the road, have even stopped there when the are having rodeo's and horse shows in the arena.

Big Cabin Truck Plaza - can always find a parking space, and the restaraunt has good food and character.

Oh, any of the Bosselman Pilots with Grandma's kitchen, especially the one at Jamestown, NM - big parking lot.

There are a few others, cannot stand the Ontario TA's, have not been there in a while, but I am sure they are still just as trashy as before. Do yourself a favor, go a little further east to the casino's, much better.
