This is Pilot Travel Center #4557 located just off I-85 exit 166 (SR 106 / SR 145 - Carnesville, Toccoa) near the Georgia-South Carolina state line. This is a truck stop with overnight parking for semis and showers (8) for truck drivers. For standard autos, there are 12 pumps including diesel. There's a Dairy Queen and Wendy's located on-site.
I stopped by this Pilot to fill up and use the restroom. I used pump 10. The pump looked to be in good, perhaps even relatively new, condition. However, the pump did not fill my tank to full and my receipt did not print out even though I requested it. I think the machine was out of paper. Whenever I fill up, I always use the automatic hands-free latch on the pump handle to fill my tank to full. This one cut off prematurely and I didn't realize it until I was on the exit ramp getting back on the highway. Oh well.
Inside, the convenience store was quite spacious. It felt old. QuikTrips are newer and nicer, but most are not truck stops like this place. The men's restroom wasn't spotless, but it was clean enough with several stalls. I requested a receipt from one of the ladies behind the counter. The lady I interacted with apologized for me having to come in (I told her no big deal, I had to use the restroom anyway). She was polite/friendly.
I'd come back. read more
