if you have a favorite truckstop,let me know where its located and what makes it such a good place to go.
and for those who happen to know of a truckstop or cafe off the beaten track,please tell me where it is and what makes it so special.

Countryside!,

Good for you taking advantage of the polling option on this board. Kind of a neat feature, if you can get some feedback. Good luck with your poll, and help us spread the word about our chat room if possible. We are going to the Las Vegas Truck Show in June. If you get an opportunity to travel east from California, come pay us a visit at the show. I will post more info about the show as it draws nearer.

I always thought that truckstop in Walcott Ia was pretty neat...simply due to its size...almost like a small city.

I alway thought the I80 truckstop was cool :aktion069.gif:

If i remember right(someone correct me please)one of the best i've yet to see is called i believe the Giant Truck Stop in New Mexico.It's one of the only ones i've been to that is 100%
full service.You pull into the fuel islands and they fuel,check fluids,clean windows,etc. all while you wait inside.You get to log it(legally) off duty. :D

[B] :aktion085: all three
are good.

:aktion060.gif: I kinda like the TA at at exit 95 on I57 in Mt. Vernon, Il. The have very large showers that are usually pretty clean. They have decent food and the staff has been friendly everytime I go in there.

yes,i think you wouldnt have a problem of having a driver disagree about the services and top notch service at both the Iowa 80 and Giant truck stops!!however,,,the Iowa 80 is MUCH bigger as for parking go's and the service you get at the fuel island at the Giant is out of this world!!!the TA in mount vernon has some of the largest shower rooms ive ever seen besides the ones that is at Boise Stage Stop in Mayfield,Idaho.
thanks to those who quickly responded to my pool and special thanks go's to our classAdriver presidrent thanking me for starting a poll!!again,if y'all know of a cafe or a small out of the way truckstop that you like,please by all means let me know what makes it so special and where its located.

come on now drivers!!!isnt there a truckstop or small little cafe off the beaten track you just so happen to run into going through some town in the mid west or out in the communist state called CALIFORNIA? :p i probably could name off several,but iam not going to.please dont keep it a secret any longer drivers,,,word of mouth is always the best key to success on keeping these ma and pop places running!!

There is one place I stop at every time I go by there.
It's a mom and pop store with a brick oven/iron top smoker that is going 24/7. The sasuage is out of this world. You literally suck the meat out of the casing. You certainly don't want to eat this sasuage if your on a low fat diet. The hot link fresh out of the oven is $1.62 a link and the cooked cold links are $1.32 each. You buy two links hot from the oven and have him cut it up so you can eat it while driving. and then buy 4 or 5 links cold for when you get home to share with the wife. All you do to reheat is boil them for a couple of minutes.
here are the directions...

From San Antonio East on I-10, exit #649 to hwy Tx-97. At the stop sign take a left and go 1.9 miles to hwy 90.(Walder Texas) On your right is the J-Bar B sasuage plant. On your left is the grocery store next to the post office. Go in the front door through the grocery store to the screen door in the back past the meat case and you are in sasuage heaven.
From Houston, West on I -10 exit 653 to hwy 90 and take a right.
Go approx. 3 miles and you will be at the same intersection.
There is plenty of parking across the street.
Tell them Chilibowl sent you. maybe I can get some free sasuage for all the referrals :D
hope ya'll enjoy :aktion035:
