Most drivers would say the Northeast. Very congested, hard to get around, not many places for a big truck to stop.

What truck stop serves the worst food?
There was a time when a longhaulin' man could cool his heels at just about any truckstop along the road and get a home-cooked meal, fresh cup o' Joe, and get a clean, hot shower with fluffy towels.
Nowadays, the truckstops of yore have been replaced by big corporate "travel plazas" which seem to cater more towards 4-wheelers and RV's then they do truckers. The driver's lounge of today usually consists of a 25-inch Magnavox playing Law & Order reruns ad nauseum. And the showers have low-flow showerheads with towels that feel like 100-grit sandpaper. Pilot is probably the worst as their first order of business upon gobbling up a mom-and-pop joint is to rip out the home-spun restaurant and replace it with yet another Subway, Taco-Bell, Wendy's, etc. Then they shrink the parking lot by 50%. Some of those places are nothing more than convience stores with a couple fuel pumps outside.
