Flying J Travel Center

I AS A PROFESSIONAL TRUCK DRIVER HAVE FOUND THAT THIS ESSENTIAL TRUCK STATION IS UP AND RUNNING WHEN I CAME THREW WATERLOO IOWA AND STAYED AT THERE TRUCK STATION EVERYONE WAS WORKING HARD AND TO THE MANAGEMENT HAD COMPLETED HER DAYnWHO I WOULD LIKE TO EXTREMELY THANKnFOR HELPING ME OUT.nnTHANKS AGAINnJESSIE LEE SPURLIN

Expired wings & pizza. Taste like a remainder from the other day then reheat to sell to the public. The sauce taste better and fresh from the distributor. No mash potato and no green beans and even meat loaf there is none.

The staff was very nice. However my 4 year old vehicle has had all kinds of problems since getting their regular gas last Wednesday .nIt idles badly and stalls. My check engine light has been on since Thursday morning. The codes read a fuel related issue. I do not recommend getting their gas!

Today is Wednesday, September 2, 2020. TORTUGA GRANDE SCORES AGAIN.nWe arrived at about 6:00 pm local time. Flying J was not very busy. We called for assistance in purchasing some propane. The gentleman came in about 10 minutes. Scored on the propane and gassed up about $100.nnYou might wonder or not. Why a 5 Star rating? It's a simple explanation. We look for separate RV fuel lanes- check, Easy in Easy out- check, propane- check, RV long parking lanes with the possibility for overnight stay- check, a bit of food, coffee, sodas, pops, etc- check. Of course, the Flying J has all the other amenities, check app.nnThe nice part is that the very large semi-trucks are totally separate from the regular auto/RV pumps. Therefore, there are no fumes to smell or avoid.nI asked the manager if it be ok to stay overnight. She said it would fine and emphasized, not to be concerned. It would be fine to put jacks down, open slides and so forth.nnTherefore, we made ourselves at home. Of course, there is going to be a certain level of noise. The semi-trucks path is not to far from the designated RV lanes. Yes, a bit of noise can be heard, so what? Free boondocking, no concerns and very courteous staff.nnYou can see from the photo, the jacks are down, slides are out and we are enjoying our stay. There are 5 RV lanes and we are the only one here so far at about 8:34 pm local time.nnThe temperature when we arrived was about mid 70s to high 70s. The evening cool down to mid 60s, great.nnFinally, there are several restaurants very near by, McDonald's is right across the street. Oh well, Enjoy your travels. Always, leave it better than what you found it.nnTORTUGA GRANDE REPORTING to see photos go to RVParky

We stay here anytime we deliver to the area. It's always clean and even though it has no restaurant attached, there are several across the road. All the food delivery services AND Instantcart will deliver to the parking lot. Just give them good directions for where to find you and your truck company/truck number. Showers are great with amazing water pressure but they are tiny. Probably the smallest I've seen at a Flying J. Staff is always friendly and bathrooms are always clean.
