This pilot has some awesome employees.I am a truck driver and Lloyd helped me a lot today. He help me getting my reserve parking spot that was occupied by someone who did not paid for it and after that he also cleaned a shower for me so that I could be ready for a good night of sleep. Thank you Lloyd!

Had hard time finding bug spray. An employee helped me find it quickly and was so polite. He knew I needed help finding something and asked. Great to have a place with good staff.

Just got accused of stealing a two-dollar fountain drink at 1:20 something p.m. on May 19th 2021 after having just paid for it after having just purchased McDonalds right in the adjoining building sad they need to get their act together

This Pilot is very hard to get in to and out of. They are always under staffed in the mornings. McDonalds inside is slow and gets your order wrong almost every time I go there. On the bright side they have new pumps, but they still ask for a reward card before you can pay at the pump causing just more time spent there.

CANNOT PAY AT PUMP. Pilot has changed their software to where credit cards have to pay inside. The pump asks for a PIN number on a credit card which credit cards do not have PIN numbers. So it makes you go in to “see cashier”. Waste of time! Find another station for convenience.

Really nice pilot, the staff is very friendly and helpful. Great variety of items in the store and found the restrooms and showers to be really clean. Truck parking for the OTR driver can be a challenge as some bulk sand companies are using this as their staging lot as well as some local drivers dropping off their trucks. When I pulled in I was flagged away from parking spaces that the local companies and local drivers wives were reserving for later arriving trucks. I stop at this pilot often for fuel but this trip Im here for my 34-hour reset and spending plenty of money inside on snacks, supplies, and food plus fuel. Im surrounded by deserted bulk sand trucks, not spending a dime, that have been left here for the weekend with no drivers and using this as their staging lot where they should get their own lot to store their equipment. I wish store management would enforce parking as Ive seen plenty of OTR trucks arrive just after 5 p.m. and not be able to get parking.

Just a little black mold problem in the showers. Hope its not the bad kind. Shower 6. Other than that its almost clean.Garbage cans along the side and back fence in the truck parking lot havent been emptied in a couple days

Great place for a quick stop. The station was clean inside and outside. Restrooms clean and well stocked. A good variety of snack and the cold cases and the fountain drink area was clean and well stocked. Had a good variety of inexpensive souvenirs. Yay... I got a frozen coke icee. Evidently this place is a hang out for the locals. As I was sitting in my vehicle prepare to go inside this tracker drive up next to me and parked. The old gentleman got down off his tracker and waltz into the station for his morning cup of steaming hot joe! If the locals hang out here you know its the place to be!

Good prices, and nice staff. Why have signs on the doors that say mask required when nothing is said to customers not wearing masks? Suppose since two employees didnt have their masks on, they cant really say much to customers.

This travel stop has an attached McDonalds, clean bathrooms, a well stocked store, is clean and ALWAYS has fresh coffee. It is a good place to stop when driving Interstate 20. Goodness knows so many of the places along I-20 that are nasty. This travel center is a pleasant surprise!

Traveling the road is mostly fun but it can be a nightmare when its time to stop for your personal needs and the facility you go to is nasty or unavailable. But I have never had that problem with Pilot and I have traveled to some far places as a truckers wife and have not be disappointed with their maintenance, hospitality, showers, bathrooms or food services. I would recommend you experience it for yourself. Its always pleasant to me. ❤

I have never been ask to leave a parking lot just because it was crowded but the kicker is it was snowing and the roads were unsafeApparently they worry more about selling fuel here than peoples lives

Pilots are great but this one needs to expand the driveway and pump areas to facilitate better traffic flow and with all the construction going on it appears theyre doing just that! Will be back to greater soon!

Great place for all needs at home or on the road traveling. Very clean,friendly, easy to see and locate from any direction. Handicapped parking and entrance. Also restrooms handicap accessible and clean both men and women. Has hot food and cold,drinks also prepared food with an adjoining fast-food restraunt with a drive thrust. Full truck stop with showers fuel gas and diesel for both large trucks and separate section for fuel for everyday traffic. Has large variety of travel needs, accessories even souvenirs. Competitive prices, friendly but also knowledgeable staff anxious to be helpful. Great place

Review №43

Ive always loved stopping by a truck stop ever since I was little. You can poop, shower,shave. Wash your dirty clothes from traveling and relax in the awesome lounge area while your cloths finish. Also truck stops make a great place to pick up souvenirs,food,drink and snacks. Also dont forget to get a full tank of fuel before leaving. It may be a while before you get a chance to fill up again.

Review №46

Just left this store, will never go back! Maybe never go to another Pilot store. Salespeople do not understand their job or the law. When adk to speak to manager they refuse to get one and claim they are the manager a until manager steps in and ask me to leave without even asking what the problem was

Too small, always a wait to get fuel. Needs to add PJ fresh. Busy 2 lane running in front, narrow 2 lane to get in and out of the lot.

Review №53

Ridiculous. A large refill cost 1.35. And a large drink cost .99. Wheres the customer appreciation to the people like me that comes in 5 days a week spending a couple hundred dollars each time.. pilot could do better. At least give drivers a free drink and more than 1point per gallon like loves gives us up to 5 points per gallon that you buy. Loves show the love and appreciation everytime you come there.

Great location. They need to better efforts to get drivers to not park on or in front of the fuel islands. Great inside.

Review №55

The lot is a bit small but well maintained. Its a smaller pilot but not missing much of what youre used to. Another plus is that its a short distance away from East Texas famous barbecue spot Bodacious if youre not into McDonalds which is attached with this pilot location.

Review №57

Usual Pilot and my favorite drink stop! It has all the goodies that a normal truck stop would have except on an upper scale. It also has a McDonalds attached to it. They have clean restrooms and showers for the truckers. They are crowded during peak times but the employees are efficient and try to keep wait times down. The parking can be a little tricky but theres plenty of open space. If you download the app they have specials that you can scan in the store.

Review №82

The bathrooms are clean, and they clean the parking lot. However, I hate to stop here, though its very conveniently near my home, because it is always super crowded and its hard to find a parking place. Getting in and out of the entrance for regular cars is small and limited visibility. Its always crowded and you have to wait to pump gas or check out. Other than that, the service is attentive and they offer a nice variety of products.

Always love stopping off at Pilot when Im on the rd. They usually have clean restrooms and a variety of quick food to eat whether its fast food or made in store. They also usually have a coffee station and a lot of odd things( t-shirts,trinkets, hats) you can pick up.

Review №87

Smaller pilot which was quite busy and parking lot difficult to navigate in lieu of the amount of travellers. Plus the steep incline in and out on a fairly busy road was less fun than be desired.I will say their cooler has to have the coldest drinks Ive ever purchased, my hands were hurting standing in line they were borderline frozen lol.With that said everything else is par the course with typical trucker amenities and an attached McDonalds. Staff were pleasant and location was stocked and clean with restrooms being held to high cleaning standards.
