Petro Stopping Center

This place is great, even if you don’t drive a big rig. The restaurant has a decent buffet as well as made to order meals plus the travel store, showers, haircuts, repairs just about anything a traveler would want or need. And judging by the amount of rigs in the parking area I would say they much be pretty damn good

As truck stops goes, the Petro’s have became my favorites! These places tend to be bigger than usual truck stops with larger parking lots and more services. This one has even a small training room that is accessible for free with a free membership card to their UltraOne loyalty program (program that is the same that their sister chain TA).
In the NYC area, overnight truck parking is a big issue and Bordentown is one of the closer large truck stop to NYC. If you can picture nearly 500 parking space for large trucks, you can image how big this place is but still, they would be overwhelm if they didn’t put some form of «moderation». So parking a truck here is free for 2 hours but if you want to stay overnight you’ll have to pay or to spend $ 20 in services here. You can buy some fuel, eat at the restaurant or buy some stuff at their stores, as long as the total is above $ 20, parking will be free. This is only true for large trucks. For cars, it’s always free and not controlled in the front.
Restroom are large and very well maintained.
I would recommend to anyone to stop here just to see how it looks even if you just drive a car!

Food is good in Iron skillet. Lot of parking. It’s the only place to park around Trenton NJ. Ticket at entrance and I guess u need to spend some money while u park.

This is a great place to stop and chill if you have time to kill (as a truck driver). It has a nice big parking lot, a service area for trucks and a place to wash your truck on site. I also enjoy having breakfast at the Iron Skillet and it’s nice that the building has a movie room and a game room to help make the time go by. My only complaint is that it could use some friendlier customer service.

3hrs in the shop just to get looked at. Employees have no sense of urgency. Service writer was abrasive. They need to improve things at their shop to stay competitive in my view.

As a truck driver I in the N. E I stop in every now & they always great food. Breakfast or dinner any time of the day.

Awesome. Has all the amenities, huge shop and an Iron Skillet restaurant (which has its own Unilocal listing). If you’re hauling its got something like 500 spaces as well as showers, laundry etc etc. This is the «realist» truckstop in the northeast in my opinion.
Location is sort of behind the competing Pilot truck stop however I think the Petro is a better choice.
