That T/A in Jessup used to be a whole lot worse than it is now, if you could imagine that. It would have probably been on my top ten places to be robbed/mugged.
Also, any Pilot is a dangerous place to be if you care about your truck. Especially your fenders, hood, and mirrors.:rofl:

X2 on the Pilot!! I stayed at a Wal Mart down the road from a Pilot the other night and like i clown i left my cb, i woke up to some guys about to kill each other right in the parking lot, thanks to all the other truckers for the commentary.. it sounded good but i was to tired to keep listening, it was going on for a while!!
Maybe it's just me but i got kinda of bad vibes about the Flying J at Carlisie... That T/A at Troutville at the 150 on 1-81 doesn't look that great... and That T/A at Jessup, WHOA!! I seriously thought i was going to get robbed when i was sliding my tandems there one night after leaving Baltimore with a Backhaul, i think a driver watching me from his truck noticed.. "Damn Schneider, What's Wrong Buddy. Think Somebody Watching You" Obviously he was but there was two guys in all black standing at the back of the building.. they damn sure didn't look like Truck Drivers, not to mention the Lot Lizards!! I just stay away from the T/A's (Except for the one at Exit 89 on 95), DAMN SURE PLIOTS UNLESS ITS LATE AT NIGHT AND I CAN STOP IN FRONT OF THE FUEL ISLAND, the flying J's and and Petro's... My favorite Truck stop is one that has lots of parking and the folks inside are as nice as a sunny day!! Lee-Hi at 195 on I-81
I Also heard guys wouldn't get caught dead staying at the T/A in Alabama..
