Pros: Very nice! Its nicer and cleaner than any of the major truck stop chains Ive been to. The employees are very friendly and helpful. Theres a Subway, Dunkin Donuts, drivers lounge, laundry, showers, scales (not CAT, though) and separate restrooms in the lounge, which you need a key card to get into. The lounge is in the basement, but I kind of like that. It feels like a man cave. Lol The showers take tokens, but its $5 for 8.5 minutes. I bought two and it was more than enough and equates to about what youd normally pay for a shower, anyway. Theres signs up that says parking is for drivers getting at least 100 gallons of fuel only and threaten to tow all other trucks, but theyre not enforcing it. The first 24hrs is free with no purchase necessary. I asked. :) Cons: Parking for only 25 trucks though, the spots are easy to back into. Two fuel islands and two showers. The token system could be expensive for anybody wanting a longer shower, but its good to have with only two showers available. Also, theres no toilets in the showers, so youd better run to the restroom first.

Nice enough truck stop, small lot, but didnt seem to be a problem even at 9pm. 7 out of 25 or so spots were full. The girl inside really didnt know much about the scale, neither did I when I got here. It was pretty dark out, so I couldnt tell if it was a straight scale, or split. It is split fyi. So they have been having some problems with it, and told me the tricks to make it work. Pull on the first time and dont back off or it will zero out then have to be reset. There is a button on a post several feet back that you have to go push, then go in for your ticket. They take Comdata fyi. The store seemed pretty clean inside, I didnt go exploring too much, but it seemed to have anything you wanted for munchies. Is also something I have observed, people in VT are more friendly than most places Ive been. Cheers

This place went through a major renovation recently and is top notch. There is a car wash out back, a Dunkin Donuts and Subway inside, as well as fresh food options from the Shortstop itself. Gas prices are okay, about mid pack on average. The only thing I still go up the road for are the breakfast sandwiches at Maplefields, which I prefer to D&D. Nice clean facilities and a seating area top it off. Ample parking and picnic tables in the summer.

They have secret laundry and tv and shower rooms. You need special key from fuel desk to get in. $5 for shower with 8.5 minutes of water. Buy two tokens for $10 and get 17 minutes. So still same price as normal truck stop. Unless your fast. Never seen token showers before. That only for water, you can spend all the time you want in shower room. But if you want water it takes a token.

Large front loading washer and other washers. Limited parking but doesnt seem to fill up. Driver lounge with tables and chairs. Clean bathrooms. Only con for me is the token operated shower. No toilet in the shower room and the water stays on for ten minutes or less. So if you like to just take your time and enjoy a long hot shower, fugitaboutit.

I would rather do my business behind a tree than stop here again. Patiently waited in line for 20 minutes to use their dirty restroom only to have other truck drivers pound on the door and and yell after I was in for less than 1 minute. If youre hungry, you can try their sandwiches that were made last week- sound tasty?

They must have remodeled since the last dude posted. Looks brand new, has a Subway, Dunkin Donuts, and nice restrooms. Room for about 25 trucks, but this is not a heavily traveled area, so its plenty. Also have Coke on fountain. :)
