There are certain jobs that I'm confident I could not do.

I'm pretty sure that I could never be a doctor, or a lawyer, or even a pilot.

However, I am more than 100% sure that I could never handle being a truck driver. Those drivers are some of the hardest working people in the country (at least in my opinion).

In an article from CDL Life, the findings of one truck driver were shared with the world.

A few years ago, a truck driver went to pick up a high level load and received a single piece of paper.

82 Truck Stops Across the U.S. Were on the “Avoid” List

He was given a list of 82 truck stops from his client, that he should avoid across multiple states including;  Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Washington.

The specific post that I found did not give specific reasons that the particular truck stops were deemed "high risk" for some drivers.

Four of the places on this list were in the Centennial State. Since this initial post was made, one of the locations on the list closed.

This list was posted five years ago, and things might have changed since then.

Texas has the most truck stops that drivers should avoid with fifteen.

Here are the Colorado spots that are still open.

Love's #908
I-270 Exit 2A
5495 Dahlia Street, Commerce City, CO 80022

5101 Quebec Street
Commerce City, CO 80022

Flying J #619

The majority of the reviews for these locations were fine or fair. However, there are a few one star ratings for the Aurora truck stop location.
