Hi all.
I have trip planned to stop at the Kangaroo Express at exit 25 off of I295 in Jacksonville on the 1st. I have a 9am appointment just a couple of miles from there on the second.
I was wondering if anyone here has any knowledge of this truck stop? I won't need any facilities, just a safe place to park for the night.

I was planning on parking there just last week and was encouraged NOT to park there. It's a nasty facility from everything I was told and I had no reason to question this driver who is a friend of mine.
You might be better off hitting the TA in Baldwin on US 301 # I-10. There's also parking across the street which I've done before. That might be better for you and I wasn't bothered when I parked there.
Hope this helps!Baack Thanks this. -
Thanks for the info. I just had a feeling this might be the case.
I'll take the advice and head for either the TA or the P_lot on 10, it looks like it's only about 20 miles away -
those two are tiny lots.......there is a cb shop across the road you can squeze into if need be......you might get lucky with the holiday and all
BTW....p-lot has alot better parking than the t/a -
lizard heaven...................

Thanks folks. I made it to the P_lot at Baldwin. I had to circle the lot at pilot and the TA both but finally found a spot right beside the fuel island at the pilot.
I usually fuel at the end of the day, but I think I'll fuel before I leave in the morning this time. Got a spot, don't want to lose it
My unload appointment isn't till 9am, and it's only 20 miles from here so I should have plenty of time -
Hi, Danny,
Glad to read that you have a good parking spot. Whenever I've gone into the Pilot, it's been a fast fuel if needed or grab a bite to eat and head on down the road.
You should be able to leave aboutt 0730-0745 and arrive at your appointment in plenty of time. There are other spots in the Jax metro area, but they are very rough.
Have a great night and best wishes for a prosperous and blessed New Year!
Mike
