I am truck driver and sometimes I have to stop to put fuel! Is a cashier that always is rude with the customer and today it was a new cashier and other to train her, so the cashier that was trained the new one jump to other register to help with the line! of customers at the same time the new ask for help both was busy! and the trainer ask the Afro American cashier (rude cashier) if she can help the new cashier into she finish with me and she said No! I was a big line!!!! She always when I get there I have to present different kind of situations with different customer!!! Because her rude actitud !! She is in a customer service job at least she needs to be polite for her coworkers!!!! We need more people with manners!
I had to change the oil, I told them that I don’t have much time if I change it now, I’ll wait, and if you can’t, I’ll go, they said that we’ll start in half an hour, it was 5:25pm and they called 8pm ended at 10:20pm lost 5 hours !!! employees do not work, but they do not take care of smoking👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Absolutely worst truck stop I’ve ever been to they had no food they ran out of everything like there supposed to restock them so that other truck drivers can come in and actually buy something to eat. One more time this is the WORST truck stop I’ve been driving for around 3 years.
Professional drivers don’t bring your trucks to fix in this TA. They are unprofessional tech. I brought my truck to fix its trailer light they don’t how and wasted the time with playing and talking together I was setting on my truck watch for them and finally they said you have to take your truck in dealership serious!!! The big laugh charged me for $126 unbelievable
Most of these reviews are just simply ridiculous! The problem is today we have a lot of pansies driving trucks first of all there is probably like a hundred and fifty parking spots or close to it, the African American lady in the story is very nice Ive never had a problem with her, and the restaurant is always great even though it was busy last night and service was a little slow but expected, they have trash bins all around the parking lot and no potholes! And last but not least Ive never had to leave this place without finding a parking spot at any time of the day or night.
This is old school truck stop but needs a serious upgrade. Its sad the restaurant is closed because truckers really could use a hot family style meal and this is the only place they can park and eat. It really is amazing how many gas stations hotels and truck stops two towns have across from each other! The showers are VERY CLEAN AND WATER PRESSURE is beat your skin off in a good way!
People be aware of this place and the SCAM they have going on... I went in today because the brake valve or glad hand valve on a volvo vnl780 was leaking from the exhaust side every time the brake pedal was applied. I had called the near by dealer for a price on the valve it was 176. TA told me it was going to be 371.55 for the part and 107 for labor.... at this point I knew he was reaping me off on the markup and 107 for labor total of 478.55. I said ok do it Im already hear lets get it done. When I went to pay the bill went up to 678.32. I confronted the technician asking him why the price went up without letting me know first. Hes reply was that the bolt and the body of the valve broke and he had to replace it which is a BIG lie because the part that broke is the same valve he was replacing. He was putting a new part so what new part is he talking about??? He was making it seen like it was something extra he had to do. Nooo sir it was just the valve and the bolt that holds it down... I know what Im talking about Im a mechanic and on top of that I know that he was just wasting time to justify the 2 hours to replace that valve, it doesnt take that long to replace it. If youre looking for repair done on your truck be aware of this low class unethical behavior. They seem to think God is dead that hes not watching and that sooner or later they will get theirs from Karma😡. And if you agree on a price with someone stop been a thieve, be ethical and let the person know, listen this came up its going to be more.... (thou that wasnt my case because what broke was the old part)
HORRIBLE!! I drove an hour for scheduled tire service on truck. It shouldnt take seven hours to change two steer tires. Since the kitchen is still closed, I was forced to sit in truck watching them do nothing. You know service is bad when the first thing they say is sorry bla bla bla.
THE WORSTWent there to get air bag changed on trailer took them 1:45 to tell me there jack could not lift the trailer then proceeded to insist that I was over loaded I wasnt then charged me over $200 for doing nothing other the caping the air line .I asked to speak with manager three times was told jen was unavailableThis place is a joke NEVER AGAIN!
Went in for shower, it was so digusting. Didnt clean it at all. In this uncertain times, We, truck drivers, dont ask much. Only clean showers and hot meals. There was hair and used bar of soap. I hope management can see this. You can see what im talking about in pictures. How can anyone expect to take shower in this. 🤮🤮🤮
Although we went to another place Thanksgiving dinner, we will plan on going to TA next year. Stop for coffee and tea and chatting and had a delightful we Tina Marie.she was a very good waitress and I noticed she was personable to the truck drivers. The restrooms are very clean. The restaurant was very clean also. The food at the salad bar and the Thanksgiving bar look very fresh and appealing.
I come through here fairly often but rarely land here for my 10hr, well I did last night and woke up and had breakfast in their country pride restaurant. I had an omelet with hash browns and everything was saturated with so much grease that that was the foundational taste, sure the food had familiar texture but it all tasted like their grease and it wasnt good. If you want to taste the food and not their anti stick medium then eat elsewhere.
My co driver and I came in to eat, shower, fuel up and get coffee. The cashiers greeted us immediately. Nicole in Country Pride was fantastic & our food was equally impressive. The showers are a little dated but they were clean and the gentleman that cleans them was kind and friendly. When we came back inside for coffee and our fuel receipts, Lynn was the odd one of the bunch...not friendly AT ALL...no hello, no thank you, no have a nice night. I wont remove any stars just because of her, but when I go back, Ill avoid her, maybe she needs a few pointers on how to speak to the public?
I found parking. Yes swift drivers know how to park. But when I asked for fresh food, I got the complete opposite. Its very unfortunate coming to a place so popular with food prepared so poorly. Im actually sick to my stomach. I would have been better off eating the old lady who took my order . Two thumbs down
There was a rude waitress at the restaurant. She wasnt rude the whole time but when I told her she got my order wrong, she denied it and got smart with me. She then fixed my order but it didnt want to make me punch her any less. Left $1 tip but shouldve left nothing but her a black eye.
Plenty of parking! Smooth lot as well. Trash bins every where. I had 4 within short walking distance like 30 yards. I got there 11pm their time. The staff was very friendly to people from my perspective. Down side of my visit there was an unfriendly smell and the bathrooms were not taken care of. Didnt want to try the showers from how the restrooms looked and smelled.
I understand about the virus. but when you have a ta who says they respect and love drivers and appreciate what we do and then Have thier ONLY restaurant close.. THAT Is bonafide SLAP N truckers face.. there ARE Restaurants open but dont deliver. I can understand closing restaurants n ta if there is more than 1.. BUT when u have only one, it should at LEAST be open 4 take out.. we drivers have had time getting food.. as it is.. but when we get to a spot, like a truckstop that says they appreciate our service ESPECIALLY in this time of need, the restaurant should at least be open 4 takeout
Pros: free parking, and store has most everything others do.Cons: restrooms are often less cared for, parking lot is only like 50 spaces, more times than not the staff is shorthanded and/or seem as though they wish they were somewhere else. The resteraunt inside didnt have a buffet available in the morning, and from what I hear the food isnt anything to brag about anyways.Conclusion, unless your just wanting a parking spot when u run out of hours you may consider your options as there is little more to offer. A complete renovation and revamping of the inside store and staff would go along way for this TA, and a little more parking wouldnt hurt if that were the case. Also if the TA is full you may consider the adult store next door or the other gas station across the way.
The shop is the worst. They take more smoke breaks then do work.Went to get 2 steer tires put on gave one price then after work started said oh I have you the wrong price.They scratched up the perma coated rims and said oh their just rims.Told them to put our old tires back on tires had tire shine on them. The guy put the shine side inside.And never put the valve stem caps back on.
Bumpy ride from Chicago, cut off three times, almost run off the road by a mean green Pete, held hostage by a young couple in a Honda doing 60 miles per hour on a donut that refused to let me pass.Then I parked at the TA and had the best experience with the staff there.And to top it all off Ms. BEE gave your boy a handful them bags man.Uh huhYepThem bags......dont trip they was just shopping bags!Thanks gang!Yall made my day!💯💯💯🔥🔥❤️❗
Genuinely a nice place to stop at and the people are for the most part nice, but tonight I stopped in and the restaurant was already closed by 9 p.m. because of some deep cleaning thing they had to do tonight so not very happy about that I only came here to eat and now had to settle for pizza, if i would have known that i would have just went to the Loves.
I did not appreciate how I filled up on diesel bought food and drinks and the lady working was looking at us like we were going to steal or something. Dont like that behavior. Maybe it was because we are Latinos .. but still not acceptable for me. She also was doing it to a African gentleman.. but not to the white people who walked in. That definitely is not cool
Be aware the shop when they did Bm oil change in your truck the short Spanish guy he worked at night he lies to customers and he cheats his job he dont changed the filters and he dont know he doing theyre so rude and also the old woman she is manger also both night shift be care full dont fix your truck here find some were else.Poor, so rude , so disgusting.
The visit was outstanding the young lady in the restaurant treated me like royalty! Also the place was spotless very very clean! I wish I could remember her name but I was there on 8-18-17 at about 12:45 pm my order came out quick and the food was hot and fresh!! I will be back!!
Waitress Amy gave really poor service. Only 4 or 5 guess in the restaurant. The 2nd waitress kept disappearing. I had to ask for refills get my own fork. This was all after waiting almost 10 minutes for waitress Amy to even acknowledge my presence. Now she has served me my tea., all Im hearing about is how busy she was. ( All 5 of us drivers lol) The next complaint Im heading is how she has to work 2 jobs. Ok wait she isnt done yet, know she moved onto how much more work it is to ring up the vets meal since its free (today is July 4). Here is what really dont it in for me, she kept my change. Bills was $14 and some change, I gave her a 20. I guess she just thought her service was that good.
My husband ordered dinner to go from the restaurant. The dinner came with a salad and soup. I wasn’t that hungry so I told my husband that I would just eat his salad. The waitress says we can’t do that. Ummmm we paid $12 for a dinner that comes with a salad and we were taking the food to go. He paid for the salad so he can give it to whoever he wants. The waitress was very rude and we will NOT be stopping at this TA again.
Showers good store good, BUT I wish these damn restaurants would take some pride in what they server, several times the food is missing ingredients, and today ingredients missing and when the cook added bacon it was barely cooked and they lightly dusted it with shredded cheese NOT melted! Truckers live on the road and it would be nice it we werent served slop!!!!
Really cool and mysterious. If you want to get a glimpse into the life of a trucker stop here for a shower lol. My shower wasnt working and I really needed a shower so I popped in and its like a different world in the back.Quality showers however. 10$ seems a bit much however it was totally worth it lol.
BEWARE OF PARKING LOT SCAMMER!!!I have stayed here 10-12 different times during the last 8 months. EVERY SINGLE TIME the SAME GUY has come around knocking on doors asking for money. His story is always the same: Co-driver lives nearby so they park here and he needs money to get home. Its a SCAM. He doesnt have a truck here. He gets dropped off & picked up in a car each time...Since management doesnt seem to want to put a stop to it, I would avoid this location...Description of guy: Black Male, 40-45 years old, 5ft 8-5ft 10, approx 250 pounds.
Nearly empty restaurant, four servers milling about (accomplishing little to nothing), and a manager that stands there ignoring new customers sat right in front of him. After being ignored for five minutes I left. Id hate to see how they deal with more than 7 diners at once. Pathetic!
The restaurant at this travel plaza sucks when the cook makes a mistake and you call him out on it he gets mad and shakes his head and sighs like your the one that messed up. That is very rude and uncalled for your the one that screwed up so its your responsibility to correct your mistake not throw a hissy fit like a 2 year old. What you need your safe place cause someone called you out!!!
The ONLY reason I gave 3 stars is because they had an item I was looking for and the employees were nice. I refuse to stay at a T/A-Petro. I refuse. It is extortion to as soon as the ELD mandate is passed for truck drivers to make the most of the parking paid only. That is extortion. If I had the funds to do so, I would bring up a lawsuit.
Horrible food, extremely slow service when the restaurant isnt busy. Overpriced for the quality, at half the price. If the staff werent busy socializing to pay attention to what went out to the customer, it would improve the quality. Thumbs down. Truckers deserve better.
Replaced the Air Compressor and they left all the bolts loose from the Compressor and fuel pump and they tied the air hose that comes from the air compressor to the air dryer to the fuel lines and that hose gets hot...... never going back and they charged me $977 just for services... not a good place for mechanicalVery disappointed
We travel in a big bunk and similar to RVs we need to dump. They use to have an rv dump and they filled it in. Wow, what a way to get rid of a fleet of clients. Now like many semi trucks with big bunks and RVs we will go to Flying Js, because we can count on them for a dump and water at every truck fuel island. Not here, 1 water spicket at the far end of the row. 1 more reason not to come to TA. The staff is friendly and professional and the bathrooms are clean.
Huge parking area and its free as it should be... Very strange, but the lot was extremely empty last night... Im not sure if thats a good thing or bad thing lol but Ive never seen that before.. The main road has tons of places to choose from which you can choose at.. **I went to taco bell last night.. The fuel island always seems to be empty so thats a given quick in and out.. I cant comment on their customer service because I didnt go inside at all... But from the outside this TA is solid!
Lets see lunch time on Wednesday nothing hot to eat besides the restaurant no Roar Girl items no buns nothing really there is however happy ending massages across the street naked women porn shop bunch of guys in their trucks beating their meat typical Ohio truck stop
Expensive. Slow. Ineffective. The shop people are very hard to deal with at times, including manager/s. T/A charges a LOT for their mechanical services. Despite their inflated prices, it is obvious that they are not able to hold on to experienced and quality mechanics (because they dont pay them enough), so they have to hire all these new people that dont know some of the very basic things, including those working the desk.
Was terrible me and an old guy going to eat in the waitresses talking to some black guy in 15 minutes later shes still talking to some black guy like shes trying to get laid or something instead of doing your job just me and the old guy walked out went to the other part of the building blocks of stuff to eat in our trucks and left so dont wonder that the th cant make the restaurants work when the people that work in the restaurants all they do is stand around talk and dont do their jobs

2022-04-29Location has ample parking, and I saw a lot porter driving around and cleaning up. I was here mid afternoon and the parking was still very empty. Dual fuel lanes and Def seemed to be available at all lanes. Inside of the store was stocked to the brim. Although the Resturant was closed, they had plenty of hot meals boxed and cold ones in the fridge to offer various options. Two movie rooms to relax and a nice size game room. The offer a basketball to play outside with the basketball net to let you get some juices flowing. The bathroom was clean, the shower was also clean, towels warm and the bathroom was dry! Not wet and humid. Soap was full and the water pressure was great. The nozzle even had different selections to choose from. Customer service was also on point! Didn’t get a 5 star due to the Def not working on my lane and then knowing this issue for two days but failing to mark the pump.

2022-01-12Sold me a defective cell phone product, within 5(mins) returned to the store to try and swap it and store associate heather refused to assist me. One star, both for defective product and terrible customer service.4 employees at the register when I purchased, and the same 4 were standing there when I went to speak to them about it. Honestly feel disrespected, the money lost is nothing to me.

2022-05-12No restaurant available to sit and eat a hot meal. No truck stop deserves a good review without having a place to eat for us truckers. I can’t even believe this is even possible these days. 21 years of trucking and we are reduced to eating junk instead of a decent meal. It’s not right!

2022-04-10The shower was the coldest shower ever had at a truck stop, besides being dirty, they definitely don’t sweep the floors so that tells me the floors aren’t mopped either good thing for flip flops. No food restaurant still not open they could at least bring in a sandwich shop or chicken store. No stars as far as I’m concerned.

2022-06-18IF YOU DONT SPEAK UP, THEYLL NEVER FIX ANYTHING. The pumpstart doesnt work. It hasnt worked at many truckstops across the country. The truckstop still looks the same as it did 40 years ago when it was a 76.
