Your favorite truckstop

[Bullwinkle]

I thought this might be a nice way to promote the truck stop that you think is the best. If you have multiple truck stops that you like, please post them all.

Let me start

I have one truck stop that I have had nothing but great experiences with.

• National Truck Stop
• Interstate 20, exit 199, Longview, Texas.

• Repair Shop is a nice place. They are quick to get you back on the road.
• Restaurant is top notch. It is a "diner" type place, and unlike most truck stops, they value their customers by providing great service. If you eat here, please tip well if you can afford it, as these waitresses deserve it. This place takes pride in treating their customers well.
• Convenience store has what you need. It isn't loaded with gimmick crap, but they have what you need including minor things for the truck, drinks, and food.

Recently added has been a CB shop and a Truck Wash. I haven't used either of these services, so can't comment on their quality.

The first one to come to mind is Derby City South, Mt. Vernon, KY - I 75 x 62 S = L. I have not been there for years but I have sent family and friends that were going thru to stop. Most of the services are near by, and only has about 50 parking spaces. But for good food, really good food this is a must stop location. I usually spent the night and the showers are clean. The service from the minute you step in this place they make you feel like your at HOME. The area was building up when I was there last. This is a must stop for me.

Sweetwater, TN - Dinner Bell Restaurant, I 40 x 62 This is not a truck stop, but a great buffet restaurant. There is pleanty of truck parking, and you can stay over night. For some old time southern cooking..

This could turn out to be a good thread. I will definitely take note of the ones that get listed here for if I ever get into those areas.

If only the Iowa 80 had a bar, it would be perfect.

I'm slightly partial to the Amarillo Flying J because I have never had a problem finding a parking spot no matter what time of day. Besides that I like any place with a bar nearby, I know it sounds like I am an alcoholic, but I only get two beers a month. I feel like I am in the navy.

[Bullwinkle]

The only thing I don't like about that Flying J is when you have to stop on the street waiting to fuel. Other than that, no complaints.

That seems to happen at the pumps there in Amarillo alot.

Another one for me is New England T/S, I 90 x 9, or I 84 x 1, about a mile east on US 20 on R. Old fashion Ma & Pa truck stop. Good Service and well kept. No fast food, but a restaurant again that can't be beat. If you can't tell by now I like the private owned restaurants. I search them out. Full service bar in this one.

#4- The Flying J (privite owned) in Le Grande, OR. They made that menu ROCK!

#3- Danny's Big Rig Resort in Arizona

#2- Pilot / Bosermens in Grand Island, NE. Always loved that place. Lots of TV's. Theators. Big store. Good food. Pretty waitress's.

#1- AMERICAN ROAD Truck stop in Nepolean, OH. Best food in a truck stop HANDS DOWN! Cleanest I have ever seen.
