Interesting that two are in Coachella. I go up there often for all kinds of things and it seems like a nice quiet town.

I always fuel up at the TA in Coachella and never notice anything unusual that makes me think twice, but it is always in the daytime. I would say be careful in Coachella as it is known for a fairly robust crime rate.

I often re-fuel the coach at either the Love's or the TA listed as being in Coachella, but in reality, neither are anywhere near the city. About a year ago, there was a small homeless encampment near the Love's but they were quickly dispatched. We've also overnighted (free) at the Spotlight 29 casino parking lot next near the TA and have never experienced any problems at any of the three locations mentioned.

I found it on reddit and dated 7 days ago Or about 3/24/2024...

and on CDL Life dated 6/5/2020 Trucker shares list of 82 truck stops he was asked to avoid with a high value load

BTW, I use www.startpage.com for my internet search engine. I can find info on a lot of things.

I would be very careful no matter where I stopped in Albuquerque, NM. It is a very dangerous town. Actually most of NM is very dangerous. Our local paper has pretty much stopped reporting a great deal of the crime. Took national news outlets reporting to find out that a cop had been run over (several times) in town by a career criminal. But you got to give NM credit, they love their criminals, particularly the sex predators.

Hmmm…

Florida sheriff urges homeowners to shoot intruders and ‘save taxpayers money’

Santa Rosa Sheriff Bob Johnson encouraged homeowners in his Florida county to shoot home invaders to help potentially save tax dollars.

If for one moment you feel you have dodged a bullet! Because you aren't on the list. You have your eyes closed! Time to wake up!!!

Big town, little town, if your vehicle is a flag, or "high value load". You are a target!!! If you're traveling in, or around a sanctuary city, no matter what you drive you are a target! If you think your not! It's Time to wake up!!! Is that a little less cryptic???

To Kevin’s point, the Metro areas of Miami, West Palm, Jacksonville, Tampa do make some lists of dangerous places.

Maybe the FBI could release a list of bridges not to use as well.

I know the listed Houston stations have had issues for years. The problems are almost always related to issues in the parking areas. Tractors being broken into, loads stolen while the driver is inside, etc. Maybe I'm Pollyanna but I wouldn't be concerned just stopping for fuel and since I've never overnighted or parked and gone inside leaving the rig unattended, I don't think there are issues for the same type of users of any of the listed stations.
