It's a smaller place and a little tight to get in but you cannot be the hometown polite personality that these people show. When you show up on time, it makes their day. They ask you want to see you. The owner was so kind that he brought me a cup of coffee and a donut. I'll be looking for another load coming out here. And there is truck parking for a few trucks.

The people were nice and quick to get me unloaded. Downside is it's a very tight back. With verizon I had no service so if you did want to sleep there you might want to think twice. I will definitely be back here again. Thank you!
