The only Pilot in Charleston. The last one on your way to Atlantic ocean. Huge parking lot ( filled with noisy bobtails from local companies, but you can find your parking space. Not easily, but you can ). 4 clean showers. Nice and friendly staff here.Only one suggestion ( I know, I’m a little crazy about it πŸ˜‚). Can you please install boiled peanuts station? That would be simply amazing πŸ˜‹And your fax needs to be checked/fixed. I was waiting for 30 min to get ppwk from my dispatcher and finally left empty handed 😞

There would actually be some parking here if it wasnt for all the bobtails and drop trailers.. and the day cabs and guys that pool containers Park in their truck there while theyre not in it..

They played the Star Spangled Banner in the parking lot at 8 oclock in the morning. Oh, and the coffee is brilliant and the restrooms are clean and the staff is entirely too perky for this hour. Give these people your business!

The store is clean well stocked and the employees are very professional and nice. The parking area is ok if you like the sound and smell of semis idling. They take up at least 2 spaces each. It is as you expect.

They have so many dropped trailers, bobtails and moving trucks parked that I couldn’t find a spot at 5pm. They have signs saying no dropped trailers Or bobtails but they aren’t enforcing it. It’s a small enough lot without these problems but I had to park at a grocery store for the night cause I have a delivery right up the street in the A.M. for the food bank.

Review β„–10

One evening after the job, a coworker said he was going to the Pilot to get the 2 for $5 pizza. It sounded good at the time, cause I didnt bring a lunch and I had been kept alive solely by a vending machine honey bun. We entered the store at the exact moment they brought out a fresh pizza. We got our orders and parted ways. That was the BEST pizza I have EVER eaten! It was so good, I didnt even want to eat it, knowing that soon this experience would be nothing more than a memory. Im so glad I lived to tell about it. I have returned since, and brought new people to this new found religion.

Theres a first for everything I guess. This is the first time I have ever gone to a pilot to get a shower and been asked if I have my own towels because they have none. When asked how long before they would have towels was told maybe an hour but unknown at this time. Its currently 0700. I know it wasnt busy last night. Really wanted a shower before picking up my load.

Poor rating is for the Arbys inside. Same female not changing gloves when helping on register dips whole hand in pecan salad, twice to put on bread. Shehad made other sandwiches and picked up pan from floor first as well. Same female put somethong in deep fat fryer and grease went two feet high and overflowed making large mess on floor. They kept working in area which is safety hazaard. 10 min later she has worked on fryer but not touched the floor

Please fix the constant loitering at this location. Just so you know I likely plan to stop coming here all together due to the loitering, lack of police presence as its a safety concern. It prevents me from going into the store and likely will prevent me from coming back and even paying at the pump in the future. Tired of people asking me for money or to buy something here.

Review β„–25

This is such a nice Pilot to visit. I go to this one often because its by my work so its great having it so close. Not only is it great for people getting gas but its a great place for truck drivers. Here are some key notes:- Gas pumps in the front and diesel in the back.- Inside they have an Arbys (which has a drive thru too), a Cinnabon store and a hot pizza bar and your regular gas station essentials.- There are public bathrooms and have showers available. They announce when showers are available.- They do not have a car wash for.- This gas station is very clean and up to date.

We do not know if Pilot/Flying pay good to the employees or they just lazy to maintain this place clean... Nothing changes, over the years, days...in this places.. the more you visit...this is a TRASH that you see inside the bathrooms. Hopefully, one day they will have better Pilots/Flying Js so we the truck drivers feel clean and fresh....Good Luck, visiting those places....

Big lot easy for backing up and lots of pumps. Store was clean efficient and friendly for the most part. Didnt give it 5 stars cause this is the second time the wifi and Pilot app was messed up. Was told they rebooted twice and didnt know when it was coming up again. I know they arent tech people but a sorry bout that would have gone a long way.

Review β„–33

I cant say enough good things about the people at the pilot. Theyre helpful friendly considerate. Accommodating knowledgeable and above all non-judgmental. During our time of need they were one of the few places to treat me and my wife like actual human beings instead of like unwanted burdens. Thank you Pilot Employees, we really appreciate everything that you do.

Review β„–34

Place looks renovated but for trucks when you pull in the lot its so many ppl cutting traffic through where the trucks park its like parking on a busy street in New York. I swear its 2 way traffic coming through the lot and these ppl have no respect for for the trucks and the business here. I would call the police but to what end!

Review β„–38

Very nice pilot, very clean, with great food options! Unfortunately I take away one star because they dont do anything about the dropped trailers in their small truck parking area, taking up all the spots. This place was packed full at 3pm and never cleared up.

Au
Review β„–39

Nice except for the pumps are always out of receipt paper and you have to go inside to get one every time. While waiting for a receipt, the same line to get a receipt is a food line so you have to wait for people to order food just to get a piece of paper that you should have been able to get at the pump. It should be pretty automatic to have an employee check the receipt paper right before high traffic times. Also pretty gross to watch an employee walk from outside smoking and straight behind the counter to serve food without washing hands or gloves just because it looked like the customer had been waiting. Other than that, its pretty clean and always busy.

Review β„–49

The store is always clean and the staff are polite. They are quick to open another register when there is a rush. My only complaint is that there are never any items on the roller grill ready at 6:30 am. I have been there 5 times in the last 2 weeks, always around 6:30 - 6:45 and there have never been any items ready to go on the roller grill. They need to start them earlier or make sure that there are more of them.

Review β„–50

Cleans showers and good food. Really clean store but parking is very limited. I parked there in reserved parking for a reset waiting on a load to be ready for 2 days and Id say more then half of the trucks parked there are local drivers parking for the night and getting picked up and leaving or someone from a local company would pull out and another driver from that company would be there waiting to take the spot and again get picked up in a car and leave. Makes it harder for over the road guys to fund a spot when local companies are using it as a yard.

Pilots have to be some of the best gas station / rest stops on the highway. They always have the snacks you want, good coffee if you need it, and clean bathrooms and Facilities. Never stop what you do pilot youve been serving me on road trips forever and I love it.

Review β„–52

The pilot store itself is clean and tidy with a good selection but the parking lot is extremely dangerous. In less then half a day I watched a few hundred cars fly through the truck parking to cut out an intersection. Theyre going 20-30 with no regards to the trucks maneuvering and backing. A driver is going to get hit and killed by one of these cars flying though or a car is going to get hit by a driver backing in when it darts behind him. The employees dont appear to care either

Review β„–56

Staff was friendly, the place looked clean. The area around the business has an unpleasant smell but that isnt their fault. Inside they have a few small restaurants and their own small selection of pizza and dinner type foods. Looks like a good option for long haul drivers to get a decent meal. Weighing fees are 11.50 for a first weight but i think that is standard for CAT scales.

The most energetic woman answered my call and when I got there there was another woman just like her. Gigi and Barbara, two southern ladies who really enjoy their jobs and do more than just check you out. They enjoy their jobs and helping people. The food is good, the service is excellent, and I had a great morning because of those two. Thank you for the start to a great morning!

Nice facility, clean and very nice staff. Energetic, helpful and engaging. I didnt get his name, but the cashier had me smiling after a long day in the road. I do wish there was a better parking layout here though, seems like quite a bit of empty asphalt. More drivers could patronize the place and get their rest, if they had more parking slots laid out.

Review β„–70

It seems like a good place to stop for a meal they have a nice selection of prepackaged salads, fried and other comfort foods so it seems like it will satisfy most of what you have a taste for.Parking always seems to be full so if you need a place to park for the night to wait for your delivery time better get there before 1700. And if you need a place to park after delivering late at night better look for some other place.But the fuel prices at the time I was in the are seem to about 5Β’ lower that most other places coming down to Charleston.

Review β„–72

Over the road driver and I can definitely say this looks like an accident scene bound to happen when cars want to swerve in an out behind you while backing into a parking spot Suggestions: adding speed bumps to slow down traffic, security on regulating through traffic. Definitely this is just too much going on just for some truck drivers. Everyone is in a rush to get to the next red lightInside is definitely clean, well maintained, and a variety of selections to pick inside. The place seems to busy for that original customer service but I understand its a Pilot Express that wants to cater to the general public.

I love Pilot Travel Centers. Trucking with hubby and have found that I like most of the Pilots Ive been to. From the east coast to the west coast, Ive always had a pleasant experience.

Listen I gotta say these people here are the laziest in keeping the outside clean, the whole parking lot smells like piss. I will do a YouTube video although you can’t capture the smell you will see they have little regard for the parking lot.

Review β„–77

Im giving it a one-star and the reason why Im only giving them one star as their attitude towards handicapped drivers, to whom need a handicap shower!Such as myself.Im a combat disabled veteran and I must be able to sit while I am showering.None of the four handicap showers have any way to sit.Thereforeit is dangerous for handicapped drivers to go and take a shower here at the Pilot in north Charleston South Carolina!Thats right it is dangerous.Everything is good the wands all work fine but they will not give seats to us to sit with.Im calling my Paralyzed veterans of America and let them call WDC to force Pilot to.install The Benches that most Pilots utilize that hug the wall when a non disabled driver uses the top showerhead.The wands should be at the bottom of the slider for easy access.Not at the top of the slider.Its far easier for the driver to pick up the one from the bottom of the slider than the disabled driver common sense how can a disabled person reach the top of the slider!Aggravates me the way pilot doesnt think.and then the attitude of the employees to laugh at off is disgraceful!

This place is a gas station on steroids. They have tons of merchandise that you can buy and they have a lot of food that you can buy as well. I stopped to get some gas and I grabbed a slice of pizza, which was awesome. You dont see good food in the gas station. They have a Auntie Annes pretzel shop inside as well which is kind of neat, and also an Arbys. I did notice they have showers for the truckers and lots of equipment that they can use as far as merchandise. I come here every so often and I grab a slice of pizza. Would recommend.

My family of 5 stopped here our last day on vacation after we went to the beach so we could wash the kids and ourselfs off so We could be comfy for our drive home which is 11 hours away and it was so nice and super clean I was very impressed with how clean and nice it was. The private showers are very big and have a pull down shower hose attached which made is so much easier to wash the kids the shower room also has a toilet, sink and bench they are also cleaned after each use and they give you a clean towel washcloth and floor towel which actually smelled good and were very nice. Everyone was nice and polite. They also have a ton to eat. There is something for everyone. Whether you need a shower, something to eat or gas deff a great stop. They also have washers and dryers.

I come here almost every morning for coffee.The staff is very friendly. They remember returning customers and i always feel welcomed.10 month edit: still love getting my coffee here...sometimes. Apparently there is only 1 employee able to keep the coffee center stocked and clean and thats GiGi. If you go to get coffee when she is not there good luck because coffee is empty, no creamers, no pastries. They ought to train more people to be like her.

Counter clerk was rude! I had been cleaning my grill with my power washer and my clothes were wet, dirty, and muddy. Asked if I could get some Black & Mild cigars? He made a sarcastic reply stating that I could get anything if I had the money.My items came to $6.64 and paid him $7.00 and instead of 36Β’ he handed me 16Β’ He didnt apologize an again made a repugnant response about not being his error.The Pilot is expensive and staff is not helpful! I will try my best to not go there again!
