pilot in ATL probably the worst..if you get a parking spot anytime of day, you cant walk from the parkin lot to the door without someone tryn to sell you anything from porn to watches or video games

use to be the T/A in ATL before it closed.

anyone of the truckstops on I-20 in dallas for the same reasons, but here you gotta worry about getting shot or mugged also.

That's no lie! :lol:
Both the Petro and the Flying J can have some bad nights. I've never spent the night at either one of them, but I've gotten fuel there. The couple of times that I've fueled up at those 2, from the look of things, I wouldn't want to spend the night.

Don't know why, but it's rough.
I think the FWPD has a terminal there.

Lucky Lady Truck Stop, it's a Fina on the Northbound lanes at exit 238 on I-45 in Rice. I stopped in there for a "convenience stop" last summer. The place was so dirty I would not even use the rest room. Their A/C either wasn't working or they had it turned off to save money. I'd hate to even think about how much sweat the cook was dropping in the food in the restaurant.

Opps, forgot to say, that Driver's may be rough but the last couple times I was in there it was a LOT cleaner than the one I mentioned!

My dad's brother and family live in Crowley. As many times as I've been to the Metromess, I've never stopped at Driver's. Everytime I pass by it, the disco lights are on. I've always heard that place is bad news.

[thebaldeagle655]

It has been a LONG time since I've been in there. Once I get on I-35, I really don't want to stop until I get out of the metromess!

[Jackrabbit379]

That aint no joke. Right there at 287/I-35, you better be mashin on it, and just pick a hole. :lol:

The last time I was in Philly, it was completely bulldozed, and there was new construction going on. Girders for something that was going to be two-stories. Have no idea if it was going to be a truck stop again or not. I have no idea what you saw in Jan, but I was there last fall. In the past, I have parked there to wait for further orders (generally, no more than half an hour), and last fall, it did not exist as a truck stop.

It still exists but sometimes gets mistaken for a junk yard.

Most of the stops in Ga around I285 are pretty scary. (I live in Ga...Atlanta is pretty much a hole...heard they closed one down it was so unlawful)

I have been told not to sleep on the streets of Dallas after dropping at the big Sears depot...but so

far have not been bothered by anyone...streets are empty at night in most big cities.

St Louis has many abandoned streets where I have stayed...we end up down late at night there after all the truck stops are full so you gotta do what u gotta do.

Must park somewhere......can't circle the drop zone all night like a plane

I also heard Memphis was a rough place...I finally slept there a few weeks ago...place is just another truckstop.

Slept down in Jersey a while back over near the bulk mail center...other than the psycho that nearly beat my door off the hinges...the place is pretty peaceful....and stinky.
