TA Travel Center — Local services in Duncan

Trust me, if you need any shop work, this is actually a TA we highly recommend! Normally, yes the TA's tend to be a risk but this is a seriously great shop with excellent, honest and knowledgeable mechanics. We took our truck in for a Landstar 120 day (DOT) inspection. Waited a couple days for an appointment and was absolutely stunned at the professionalism of the lady who runs the counter ( forgot her name but she was terrific) as she completely understood the necessity of drivers getting up and running and does her best to attend to that issue. Brian, the certified mechanic for Landstar was excellent in his inspection and absolutely knows trucks. Being a mechanic myself it was a pleasure to discuss mechanics with him as his knowledge is extensive. Rudy, the other mechanic we worked with was also knowledgeable and knew his field. Most importantly, these mechanics were not the "green, inexperienced, uninterested" mechanics that so many drivers run into at TA's across the country. Brian & Rudy are the cream of the crop, experienced & honest. As to the TA, it's a nice little, older TA with fairly nice showers, a comfortable lounge and a pool table ( thank you TA). The pool table, massage seats and lounge was busy with drivers actually socializing, a great thing. The staff is definitely a cut above too, friendly to everyone. Why not 5 stars? Besides the store having very little to eat besides a few sad rollers ( no breakfast, lunch etc) and some tasty boiled peanuts, simply put it's the restaurant. You will in no way get what you pay for here!! Better look at your 'to go' food. We got their "Smash Bugers" which used to be huge, unique hamburgers smothered in varies things. Now you get a child sized bun/burger with grease soaking the bun enough to wring it out! A teaspoon of onions and maybe, maybe 7 French fries!! A $5.99 meal for $15.00 Congratulations Country Pride for ripping off drivers and charging twice the McDonald's across the street! We need restaurants at truck stops to give us opportunities for fresh food that's not fast food. Is it BP buying the chain and just making it a cash cow changing the amount of food? Perhaps. But the complaints about the restaurant is rampant at this TA. Should it cost $60.00 for 2 people to eat then get so little food? There's a lot of parking, good pull through spots and backing is simple here. The city has poured new concrete islands on the street which have made getting to both the J and TA a bit of a flustercluck, but they are accessible. Lastly, the McDonald's is open 24hrs so you can actually get food...

This is the worst truck stop ever. The reason is one employee who runs around the truck like a mad dog and scares the police with those drivers who, in his opinion, parked incorrectly. If the panic is unsuccessful, he asks for $10 in cash and allegedly “turns a blind eye.” He commits such inappropriate acts late at night, knowing that the truck driver will not find space in other parking lots and will have difficulty finding it. He is black and wears a uniform very similar to that of a police officer. This happened today, April 7, 2024. If the manager of this parking lot is not in the know, although it seems to me that he knows about the extortion, then this “cop” is working with him in his share, this smart guy is being too arrogant.This incident is not the first time this has happened to me. I just can't take it anymore. ....................................................................................

I have no desire to share my personal data with you. The easiest way for me is to drive around you. By the way, after kicked out me away, thanks mr " cop", I had to look for a parking spot for a long time, but you need to understand that after 7 pm it is already difficult to find anything to stop for the night. I am now looking for a connection with your high authorities. You should be ashamed that you are taking away the right of choice from drivers .....................................................................................I would also like to add that this “cop” asked me, to put it mildly, to leave the parking lot, firstly, he did not offer an alternative, and secondly, I stood in the “wrong place” for more than a day, I had a “reset”, I no one bothered, but the next day in the evening this guy appeared and said that he would call the police and DOT. The question is, does your company have such instructions to scare drivers? Finally, explain to the guy that the police and DOT are not in charge of kicking drivers out of...

I am a truck driver. Two months ago, I bought a home in South Carolina and moved from Washington State. I was glad that there was a TA truck stop six miles away. Today I drove in for the first time to refuel the diesel and weigh the truck. I have not seen such a mocking attitude for a long time. I was assured that you will not find better and more attentive people than in Caroline. I drove to the scales several times, the cashier declares that he cannot understand the number for re-weighing. Then she pulled out from under the table a huge pile of last year's cargo sheets and began to look for mine. Although a minute ago she was talking to me on the scales. I had to go back to the scales. The cashier took the money from me, but she could not find a receipt for re-weighing. And when I once again came after re-weighing and began to resent the disgusting service and unprofessional work, I managed to pick up the receipt. How many times have a truck weighed, the first time I see such a mockery. This is my first and last visit to this place. The driver, who saw this situation, approached me on the street and said that he was not surprised by what he saw, since this is a bad place. And the second cashier at this time ignored the gathered line of customers and did not stop flirting and laughing with the client, forgetting about work. These employees do not respect the customers who make them money and do not value the drivers' time. I think some failed individuals in this way have fun, assert themselves and take out their dissatisfaction on clients. I think a clever manager of such an establishment should take this into consideration. Are there really no cultured and courteous people willing to work in the customer...
