“I’ve been driving rigs longer than some of these stations have been standing, and let me tell you — you remember a place with good toilets. This one? Outstanding.

Pulled in after a long stretch of road and braced myself for the usual horrors, but instead I found clean floors, no smells that knock you sideways, plenty of paper, and a lock that actually works. Stalls were roomy enough for a big guy like me, and everything looked like it’d been cleaned recently — not three days ago “recently,” but actually recently.

Sinks had hot water, soap that wasn’t watered down to nothing, and mirrors you could look in without flinching. Sounds silly, but when you live half your life on the road, this stuff matters. A clean bathroom can turn a rough day into a manageable one.

If I’m rolling through this way again, I’ll be stopping here without hesitation — fuel for the truck, coffee for me, and a bathroom I don’t have to mentally prepare for.

“Amazing service! Diego he said his name was greeted me with a smile and did my windshields that once were dirty are now spotless and filled my windshield whiper fluid up! Gave him a generous tip and he filled my gas up for me without me stepping out of my car since a month before I had a knee surgery. Thoughtful staff and such a well kept place definitely not your average gas station.”

“The worst Carwash ever the guy with a beard at the car wash is so horrible. He’s mad at all times at everything for no reason he’s just mad if you don’t like your
job quit do something else.”
