My vote for worst truck stop!

Well I know not to go back to this hole! Mt Vernon TX, loves truck stop. Had a delivery in Dallas last week and stopped at this cluster. Got in there at a decent time and found a place to park. Heard drivers talking on the CB about how bad it is to get out of here. A driver was parking beside me and I helped spot him in the space. Went and took a shower. USA truck was trying to park on my other side and I had to keep telling him on the radio, your not going to make it. Actually I don't think he wanted the empty spot beside me. I think he wanted to share the one I was in. Guy on my other side pulled out and another guy backed in after he pulled up 45 times and kept inching closer to me everytime. I went to bed and woke up a bunch of times wondering if someone was backing in beside me. Got up the next morning and some yard bird had parked across the front of my truck not even in a parking space. He blocked about 10 trucks in. I had to beat on his door to get him to move so I could get out. I will be danged if these fools had not blocked the exit on the back side of the lot. Figured I would go out the entrance, but it was blocked as well. Had to get in line with a bunch of trucks at the fuel line to get out of this hole. Took me a hour and a half to get out of this dump. These jokers come into this lot at nite and when it is full, they just fall out and hit the sleeper. Doesn't matter where they are.

I remember one night at the J in Little Rock, some jackass was in his bunk at the fuel island! Just when you think you've seen it all............. :?

The craziest truck stop I have been to has to be the T/A in Jessup, MD. If you plan on spending the night there, you'd better get there by about 4:00pm, it fills up fast. One thing I did notice there though, everytime I went there, another driver would spot me while backing in.....

I kinda figured that when you kept mentioning about the driver about taking off your mirror...
