Pilot Travel Center - Oakwood

The place seems a bit run down. Stopped here to top off my petrol tank and the card reader at the pump did not work. Luckily, there are other stations just across the road willing to take my money.

Showed up last night after delivering to sygma 15 miles away. I stopped here before delivery to reserve a parking spot because I knew it was going to be a late night. Delivered, and came back to see all the reserves full. I wasn?t gonna let some entitleddriver think they can get away for parking in a reserve and not paying when I did. I was tired and had no patience. Talked tothe staff here and they were gonna go out and see who paid and who didn?t. Luckily for a driver someone pulled out of a reservespot and I was able to take it. But other drivers were also waiting for reserve spots. Bottom line I appreciate the staff fordoing something about these type of drivers who park in reserves and don?t pay. They do enforce their parking here so stoptrying to park and not pay. Also cops patrol here regularly and one just so happen to be in the store when we were discussingthe parking issue. There?s four to five other truck stops on this exit. If you don?t wanna pay if there?s no free spots gosomewhere else. This pilot is fairly clean, enough room to maneuver, has a hot deli like most and friendly staff. Bathrooms geta little dirty during the late hours but pretty clean during the day.

Come on, folks, let's use some common sense. Parking a truck is a challenge and it really needs more space.

The food here is not good. I ordered a biscuit, egg, and cheese sandwich, and the biscuit was rock hard. The bacon was burned, and the egg wasn't fully cooked. They really need cooks who know what they're doing, or someone could end up getting sick.

The card readers at the pumps never seem to work. I just left after yet another unsuccessful attempt. If you want to avoid the hassle of dealing with their pumps, just go next door to Loves.
