PETRO bordentown, NJ:

But with the addition of idleaire, they have made the parking situation much more difficult. The idleaire reps block off those spots which they are not supposed to do if that is the only parking available but they do it anyway.

 

I had to call the mgr at the atl petro be cause of this same thing and he said they could not do this as you just stated and he was gonna call idleair corporate and take care of the situation. Dont know what ever came of iy but he did return my call a few days later to say it had been handled

 

In the couple of times i was at this Petro, i found it to be relatively decent. Definitely not the worst truck stop i have spent a weekend at.

 

It's not a truck stop but if you are hungry in the Bordentown, NJ area try the Town & Country Diner on 130 N. When I lived in Jersey we went there quite a bit, even had Easter dinner there a few times.

 

hell i use to run bordentown to grandforks about 2 years ago and u could find a parkin spot,..i went threw there in july and there were trucks everywhere,..they were over in the bobtail section parked out in the grass,..has it changed in the last few months???

 

Not really... got to get in early to get a space or get creative. The Pilot is a postage stamp, and there's not a whole lot else.

Same situation with the TA down in Paulsboro. Last couple of times I pulled in there after dark, I ended up parking over in the entrance to the truckwash.

 

The Petro charges... Pilot doesn't.

 

We talk about NJ truck stops and you wonder why they don't expand. As it turns out, that last female governor that President Bush put as head of the DOT, when she was governor she signed a law that stated no expansions or new truck stops in the state! This was just before Bush became President. The TA in Bloomsbury was going to buy the land around the the truck stop to expand but they were to late and couldn't buy it due to that law. The same with the Pilot at Bordentown when the old stop beside them went out of business. I now understand that some of the truck stops are fighting to get it rescinded. Talk about an anti truck state but please feel free to spend your money on tolls and anything else but get the hell out!

That's why I'll beat my self to death on Hwy 1 and I 95 just to keep from paying NJ toll money! To bad Pa charges you that "escape tax" when trying to get the heck out!
