  • Any advice for me? my dad was over the road for around 28 years. and i rode with him alot. seen alot Great things and alot of terrible things but i love the open road so im thinking of doing it. and carry on my dads memory he unfortunately passed away while on the road peacfully in his sleep thank god. but any advice? obviously stay the fuck away from Pilot's Huh? my dad was more of a Flying J guy. so didnt see much of the Pilots

  • 00:48-00:51

    Allow me to correct you. That pilot in Minooka il, should advertise under the pilot sign that it's also a truck driver training lot. That lot is made for 48's. Not 53's. Cops frequent there at LEAST twice a week for backing accidents.

  • What kind of trucker holds a video camera and records while he or she is driving??? VERY VERY DANGEROUS AND UNPROFESSIONAL!!! I DIDN'T SEE ANY POINT IN THE VIDEO WHAT SO EVER!!! Anyone who has been driving for a while will know all about that fuel stop and how to get in and out. SO GLAD I'M NOT OVER THE ROAD ANY MORE!!! Feels good to be at home now making more then I was making over the road.

  • i always hated going to pilots, there be a real nice truck stop with good food and then pilot takes it over and the 1st thing they do is tear out the restaurant and put in a subway.

  • It must be at certain pilots I rarely have to wait that long at a pilot it must also be the times of the day

  • all those drivers bitching about pilot truck stops. and everyone of them are in a pilot truck stop.

  • Get It And Go...

  • I remember THIS shithole! 

  • can you say 1970 fuel shortage? it aint that but thats what i foresee in the future

  • has anybody been to the new pilot in haines city fl?

  • i think i have been there before!

  • i think pilots are the worst place to go to im there when i go to work with my dad and i see fuel line back up becasue people go in and take a shower and leave there truck in the fuel island are people parking in the middle of the parkin lot

  • bitch

  • that brings back the nightmare of the pilot truckstops. the long lines, small parking lots and short tempers. not to mention taking 15 to 30 minutes just to get out of the place. thanks for the vid bro brings back memories.

  • how bout the fucked up fuel lanes that you trip when u try and walk to pay because the rutts are so fucking deep...lol used to go there quite a bit when id run to the windy

  • hurry up and wait !

  • Hey now, i work at Pilot! I understand that you guys don't get paid enough for what you do, but trust me buddy, neither do we. it just seems like all truckers ever do is complain. Our managers give us loads of stuff to do on top of dealing with angry costumers. I will admit tho, i do work with IDIOTS, even the managers suck. And there's so much ass-kissing. They cheat people out of hours, dont pay overtime, and the laziest workers get hired to manager positions. Can't complain tho, its a job.

  • looks like an airport plane taxi line

  • hey brother im a fan im going back to truck driving in 2months i been out for 3yrs are so and i hope i get a chance to meet you on the road

  • I stopped at this stupid shithole once, never again !!

  • Great skills KLLM driver..

    5*

  • I've had the misfortune of having to stop at this pilot when I was driving ,always a cluster, I usually tried to look f0r 3 empty slots side by side (seldom happened) Almost as bad as the Hagerstown MD pilot where it's set up for blindside NO THANKS

  • My company has a fuel deal with Pilot in Castleton NY off of I-90 and I hate going into that place....so tiny.

  • damn it boy!!! lmfao I know that pilot well..........to well brings back nightmares!!!

  • Too funny, thanks for the video! I say funny because ive been EXACTLY there many times after weighin my wagon (p/u@ tyson a lot). I always backed up to the scale tho while getting a bite at stupid subway or is it wendys there, and maybe getting a short nap. I hate pilots and loves! It took me over an hour to get out of loves in Tucumcari one day after fueling, I went to TA in Santa Rosa instead to avoid being trapped like a rat. Keep on truckin!

  • Been there, done that. Damn I'm glad I've retired.

  • nice one.

  • SWIFT:

    Sure Wish I Finished Training or

    Swing Wide It's a Fucking Trailer

  • @warriorthegangsta hello warrior, just seen the comment thanks bud

  • lots are too small. prices are too high. trucking is not what it used to be 15 years ago hell they even charge you for wi fi when its free anywhere else P.S how long did it take you to get out of there ?

  • @cypris2002 probably like 10 minutes, the biggest crowd had already gone by before I got the idea to record it

  • @truckertwotimes why them trucks were just standing there?

  • @TheSwagger134 that was called overpopulation by demand, the high crunched numbers of users of food, toilet paper and other stuffs causes more trucks then pilot has room for, however pilot cuts the fuel price by at least a penny per gallon in order to lure trucking companies in to buy fuel and that is what gets this kind of situation going which unfortunately is at the drivers expense i.e. bad nerves, ptsd small crowded glorified convenient stores are a big problem in this high population day

  • @truckertwotimes ya im just 13 i dont get all that

  • lots are too small. prices are too high. trucking is not what it used to be 15 years ago hell they even charge you for wi fi when its free anywhere else

  • what kind of truck is this is it a volvo?

  • @pabloking55 yes 670

  • @truckertwotimes Holy hell thats the same Pilot I got my Fender ripped up by a Stevens Transport.. Memories..

  • I'm still a noob at backing. Managed to back into a spot since I had to deliver a load into town there. I was pretty close to saying screw it and just going to the rest area just down the interstate.

  • Yep, there seems to be only two design configurations for all pilot locations. Dreadful and down right fucked up!!!!!!  That pilot has the exact design as palm springs and Santa nella and soooooooooooo many others. Can we say cookie cutter?

  • Pilots suck as far as the parking lots concern and all they want you to do is buy and go.

  • you have a damm smile ,,,,men

  • You did a great job on capturing how small some of these trucks stops could be. With hundreds of rigs coming in and out of a truck stop it could get very congested.

  • maybe you should just back in instead of multitasking

  • ive been there

  • @truckertwotimes is you talking about the Stevens Transport Truck that was driving in front of you in the beginning of the video?

  • @ truckertwotimes which truck is the man thats talking funny drives. The man that said "I told him you can do it you can do it".

  • @greenjr93 I donno, I never did spot him, I was thinking maybe the dark blue KW

  • at least they have good coffee. Provided you can find a spot to park and get some.

  • Why does it seem every Pilot has no traffic flow..

  • Pilots and Love's both suck! Not enough parking, blind side backing and there is always a wait for a shower.

  • Are they selling trucker crack or something?

  • some of you fucking trucker drivers are nasty as shit when it comes to taking the time to piss rather than pissing in a bottle and throwing it on the ground

  • @POSRanger05 Laurie Cramer says you're a sissy if you don't piss in a bottle and throw it on the ground or take shits on the ground in front of everybody like the guys she's attracted to do! That's why you can't get in her pants!

  • I love Pilot Travel Center up in Lebanon, TN! I used to work there, great people! And yall truck drivers can be quite amusing haha! i love the variety of people i meet there :) And we had the TV room and Showers and Laundry and all that Jazz...I heard it was rated as one of the Nicest Pilots.... :)

  • @chikity16 Shut up! You're not as important as us because you're not from Boonville! Old man George at the post office will tell you that!

  • i love when i ride with my uncle in his truck ..it is funny as shit when ppl talk on the CB...

  • holy clusterf*ck batman!!

  • SOOOOO It's safe to say..."STAY AWAY" Right ? NOW where was HIS SPOTTER LOL

  • I work at this Pilot and the parking situation is a city problem. They won't sell us the land because they wanna write tickets. If you notice, Minooka police hang out around their all day and night. It's a cash cow.

  • THE PILOT BOUGHT THE FLY Js NOW WHERE ARE THE TRUCKERS GONNA SLEEP NOW. THE PILOTS ARE PUTTING IN SUBSANDWICHES AND GETTING RID OF THE TV ROOMS.

  • the benny hill theme song woulda gone good with that lol

  • Pilot's are normally nice, it's their parking that sucks. I try to avoid this one like the plague but still end up spending plenty of time in there sense I spend so much time up around that area. I hate the north east.

  • i like pilot,but the one on the southside of Indianapolis across from the flying J. Tight parking spaces.Many a fender bender there

  • pilots sux

  • Comment removed

  • the worced one ive seen so far is the on in clinton nj xit 12 off I 78. it was the old jonny's and when pilot took over they made that a mess in there big time.

  • fyi, i have worked for both the Pilot and Minooka community one time and or another and i can tell u that alot of the reasons why it is so cluttered isnt due to pilots, but the towns they r in. most towns have insanely high levels of restrictions as to how and where u can park your rigs. They also make the pilots build the long parking ways and limit them at the total of acres they can have. read the local request u will see alot of pilots have asked for more land, but r denied

  • @ 5:35 "I believe Pilot's 'bout the worst thing ever happened to the Trucking Industry". Well said! I live and work in a small town and both locations aren't too far from a Pilot establishment. At any given time of day, you are to pass that parking lot, you will find Hell on Earth. The lot is cluttered and there is hardly enough room to maneuver a rig at all. By the time anyone can get into a spot (usually because of other considerate driver's, giving them right away), time and tempers are lost.

  • billybob1077 said it right. The Pilot in Columbus Ohio is stupid crazy. Bad bad bad location

  • I think there is a pilot off of 75 in kentucky you gotta drive 2 miles around the block if you want to park after fueling, in one of 3 parking spots. What a joke.

    Anyways, TTT thanks for all you do. i enjoy listening to your podcasts and watching your videos. keep up the good work and hope to see ya out there. stay safe

  • MRBIGFATASSTRAVIS talks enough shit he should be MRSKINNYASSTRAVIS

  • Try working at Pilot, MBS Books, Otscon, 3M, or Dana! They discriminate aliens like you and fire them for nothing! I am one of their kind! That makes me better than you!

  • Hey "Driver" I've been to that truck stop. If you're not there for the fuel, then you're there for the coffee !!! Anyways, east of there, on the other side of the interstate is an even bigger truckstop

  • all pilot truck stops are a joke !! and you here everyone bitch about them but yet look at all the trucks in there still what a waist of time !! must be nice to have that much time to waist! i hate pilots they are the worst ever yet everyone keeps going there cashiers are slow as hell they move slower then my grandma when there is like a line out there door they dont care about anything its a joke the room they give the trucks to back in there what a noisy truk stop that would be to dnt go there

  • You're not as important as we are!

  • that pilot isnt not bad try the one in columbus ohio what a joke

  • Comment removed

  • yes piolt sucks i worked there busted my ass and got fired boycott store 300 albany ga

  • I believe you. That company works solely on a pure good ol' boy system! The Pilot near me is terrible about that and the place is just a total joke!

  • You're not one of our kind so we're entitled to do you like that so we can all sit and talk all day!

  • omg !!! TOO familiar !!! Took me 1/2 an hour to get out of the Pilot yesterday (Nitro, WV)

  • Comment removed

  • where ya at tonight truckertwotime ?

  • at the housianda

  • Me too

    Good place to be

    Have a good weekend

  • Hey truckertwotimes what does congestion in the parking lot have to do with Pilot ?

  • the parking lot is too small

  • Lol omg, I've been to that Pilot a few times..hated it

  • looks like LAX airport on a busy day

  • Kinky Lot Lizard Molester:-))

  • pilot...aka peelot! only thing there good for is parking on the fuel island take a pee and get the h&%$ out!

  • That place aint bad,what do you expect? That's one of the few truck stops around Chicago that has free parking.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey I manage a Pilot and I understand that as a truck driver you all work long and hard to get the goods we need to live to us. I work hard to make your experience at my stop THE BEST IT CAN BE!!! I work with the tools i am given and hope that all that visit us in Central Point Oregon will change their minds about how Pilot works. WE CARE!! This is my life and I care about what I do. I hope that you enjoy what you do and find some peace with your Higher Power. Love ya all!!!!

  • yeah I've been to your truck stop and it was all good...my main problem is that most pilots have bon qui qui working the register

  • Fuck you! All cashiers at Pilot are my friends! All of our people are the same way! I bet your not from Missouri! That's why your not as important as us! We can tell when your not one of our kind and we are entitled to be rude because we are from Missouri! I bet you people are Idle Aire members! We all hate those fuckers!

  • yeah whatever retard

  • No! You're the retard! You dumb hick from Alabama! I'm from Boonville, MO so that makes me more important than you! The Pilot here has a middle age janitor who is tall and stocky and lives near Mega-Plex saying you are all a joke!

  • You're just not good enough for us! You're obviously not from here! That's why we are rude and not that good with you! We are entitled and you aliens deserve it because you are not of our kind!

  • Your right that is surely a cluster fuck of a mess..but hey at least every one on the radio seems to be staying cool about it..and besides we got to here u and watch a professional back it in... lilbit :)

  • What pisses me off bout pilot is they run you off for parking in the car lot when bobtail..Even after dropping $280 on fuel.

  • Try the pilot in Savannah Ga off 95.. Way worse than that. Looked like a Swift terminal

  • Yep. Exit 109 in Ga. I don't care for that spot too much myself.

  • Pilot does have the best coffee, but that's about all I can say for them.

  • pilots dont want you to hang out they want you to fuel up an go i have been to this t/s a # of time it is a real cluster fuck

  • The Flying J south of Dallas on I-20 is the worst I've ever been in.

  • I find most of the Pilot's are to small, plus most don't have decent Wifi. I like the Petro's the best.

  • Comment removed

  • That's the way to back that baby in there...I'm starting out, but I WILL learn to back well, if only for my fellow drivers not having to wait on my a**. I say don't hold up a working man or woman.  See ya buddy. *****

  • enjoyed the vid, I agree I HATE PIolit, I honestyly cant remember ever being at a good one. is it me or do they cram their parking closer together then any of ther others?

  • the only ones i've ever seen that have decent parking are the ones that used to be Williams fuel stops.

  • KLLM knocked that out! The Pilot off South Atlanta Rd. in Atlanta, GA is horrible, way to small, trucks line up to the exit ramp off I-285...The only time I can get in there for lunch is when I'm bobtailing

  • yeah, some of the pilots really suck.

  • i drove a truck 20yrs. and i do not miss this bull shit, there are drivers out there who cannot back up for shit. truck on drivers

  • Goddamn!, everyone trying to clear out of that lot all at once. Did one of you homosexuals spot a lot lizard?

  • that place SUCKS! I hate that Pilot

  • ive been through there a few times its a bitch to get out of even when the truck stop isnt that busy

  • who is the annoying woman?

  • gotta love the good ol' PEE-LOTS!!! yee haw!!! thank you companies for buying cheap fuel!!!!

  • I like the talk back on your radio. what you got a 29?

  • Yea, 29

  • Pilot in Atlanta on I 285 Exit 16 isn't much better, the shitters are usually out of order, the showers are always dirty, I watched the cleaning guy walk into the shower, pick up the towells lay new ones down then close the door, NASTY! Then the lot, your door gets knocked on all night long with the fine citizens of Atlanta wanting to sell you thier fine jewlry, and commercial services.

  • lmao!!! so true

  • Hey Two Times, Go to school and get an education.  looks like the problem isn't the Pilot, its the people who programmed the light. Dumbass

  • If you think they are bad to customers, you should try to be an employee

  • i prefer Flying J, Pilots not that great.

  • Sadly there are so many places like this out there. Pilot in Armadillo, the Flying Hook in Armadillo, and then there is a real lovely place in Sullivan MO Flying J, one road in and out, great during a fuel rush.

  • That was a great job by KLM! Oh Yeah, and nice footage!!! Nice, keep it up

  • that fucking light they have there only let 1 truck through at a time its a son of a bitch!

  • trucker twotimes is drivin' a volvo.

  • probably a bunch of J.B. hunt trucks parked in the fuel islands while their drivers are in getting showers.

  • it must be nice to be in the normal part of the country, gotta love IL!!

  • whew lol gotta love pilots!!!! which then again most of them are getting to be that way anymore.

  • the american flag was huge

  • pilot sucks nuts

  • Yeah I work at one of the shops in the back ever been to one of them? I agree with ya ive seen so many wrecks it isnt funny.

  • I stopped in there 3yrs ago..and never will

    go back again..A whole lot better a Sapp Bros

  • Ho wbout ya there Stevens? get yer stupid ass out of the way, your holdin up the show.

  • do you ever run threw the buckeye state ohio

  • Yeah, been there, just to get fuel, i wont stay there, too crowded. go to the TA down the road...alot more parking

  • i hear ya buddy

    i been to that truck stop its like the worst pilot in illiois its fuckin rediculous

    they ever get that shit they were building behind it finished ?

    the cops made me move my truck when i was trying to get some sleep

    fuck that place

  • Drove for Swift not too, long ago.

    I've run across plenty of this and this was probably one of the few things I hated about driving.

    I also kept the CB off most of the time, only had it on for emergencies and such.

  • hey bro i currently work for swift and im on my 4th month with them, why do they keep giving me crappy 250-400 mile loads...do they do this to allnewbys??? thanks for replying:)

  • Stick it out dude.

    The first six months always suck, but when the pay increase comes, those miles begin to turn into some decent money.

    I had an accident though, so I've got to wait it out until I'm able to get back in again.

  • man you should drive local

  • Yes, but without enough driving experience noone would hire him. Local also mean 14hrs shifts without overtime pay in most cases.

  • that sucks i have been over the road for two years now and have recieved a call from the post office to drive for them but i don't know man it seems like the country is cheating us on wages man

  • pirates,oh i should've said piltots are just a convience store with diesel pumps. either they rip you off with their high prices or have your hood taken off by another truck. i myself avoid them. don't forget exit 16 on 285in atlanta or exit 129 I85 at braselton,ga

  • my parents wanted to move to minooka..

  • i was there at that pilot when i was working for werner but i quit now im working at dawn trucking i been in that shithole on the east coast its always crowded where you can find a parking spot

  • I've been to that shithole before & yes sir it does suck!

  • Illinois is pronounced without the S...so it would be pronounced along the lines of Illinoi

  • Thanks for the memories. As a retired OTR driver, that is one thing I don't miss at all.

    Pilot was just appearing as I did my last long miles.

  • i stoped @ this very same truck stop twice the other day its alot easier to get around without a trailer thiers so little parking and a giant field next to it its kinda creepy to see this

  • I hear you, I was noticing that at the peelot in Remington IN seems they could have made the parking lot big enough to accomidate their business, I was thinking as I was waiting in line to buy fuel how many gallons truckers buy an hour from them

  • One of the drivers spotted a hooker and started a stampede, with all of them trying to run away from her at the same time. Faggot truckers.

  • This from a guy who uses YouTube to search for Japanese kiddie porn?

  • Minooka is one of the worst Pilot stops. There is 1 fuel station on the other side of the interstate just over the bridge too. They take comdata and efs. Its always empty there.

  • I had to do that a couple of times with a super b ...

  • Dam don't you just love it when everbody keys donw at the same time makes the feedback

  • i hate that pilot in minooka i spent two of the most boring days of my life there

  • I hope Pilot will add this video to their website, can someone help them get it?

  • LMFAO THIS CB TALK IS HILLARIOUS oh and umm i take it that fucker below me dont like you eh trucker? i bet he aint driven a truck in that damn parking lot

  • The problem is..prepayment because allot of you fuckers drove off without paying for your fuel now deal with it!

  • But,your right Pilot do suck ass

  • no blame on the workers, it is the ones that design the parking lots many peelots have made their parking lots so tight it is impossible to squeeze in between two other parked trucks, most exit and enter the same area

  • they should all have an entrence and an exit or at least the one I worked at for 6yrs did. Sorry I have a bad taste for most drivers because of the way I have been treated by most of them working in a truck stop as a diesel cashier. I am not speaking for all of you but most drivers are dirty and just plain MEAN!

  • I agree with you, that is why I leave my c.b. turned off 99% of the time, this day was an exception for entertainment purposes only

  • there is some entertainment on the radio only if you get around truck stops. other than that thats about it. when you get out on the road its pretty lonely unless your on the INTERSTATE
