“I don’t understand why some people leave bad reviews. I am giving five stars. Very convenient location. It looks small on the map but in reality there is plenty of space for trucks. It is not new but you can find all the basic things you need. Clean restrooms. If a truck driver wants to stop here, Walmart is just across the road where you can stock up with a week’s supply of food and everything else you need for life over the road. A very good Truck Stop and it is free. Thank you for being here.”
