DE to Florence, SC: a note on truckstops

The next day I was able to clock a nice amount of miles deciding to stop in Florence, SC. Stopped at a Petro truckstop, which are the cleanest and safes of the stops. They all feature a restaurant called Iron Skillet which has pretty good food unlike the crap at TA's. TA (Travel Centers of America) used to be the monopoly of truckstops when the mom & pop operations started to dissapear. TA took for granted that the drivers would be there to spend their money, and the places started to get dirty and sleazy (with exceptions of course). Petro is a class operation with good security, the lot lizard count is low to none because one cannot even go to the truck parking area without a CDL, the general public can only patronize the front of the place and the restaurant before they see a sign that reads "professional drivers only past this point." pilot stops are the most common but they are just fuel, showers and fast food (either Arby's or Subway or McDonalds). Pilot are where my company trucks are authorized to fuel, which is good because it seems like they are popping up at every exit if every interstate.
