Suggestions for a ts keep the 4-wheelers out! I don't know why people don't get it through there heads we deliver there freight and we need to get out quick. Not get held up at the counter.

But do you spend enough money at the truck stop to support a truck stop? Got any idea how much payroll alone would be?

How bout a section for our wiggle wagons...I'm tired of getting dirty looks from drivers that don't understand we can't back up so thats why we park in the fuel island for a few....

If you're taking OOS bids for the building construction, then PM me.

well some of the ideas we plan on using are plenty of parking lots (were looking to hold 300-500 trks) plenty of HOT showers an exercise room plus a whole lot more! Sorry some ideas we are doing we cant mention yet waiting on a bussiness license!! thanks for all your ideas please tell all your trucker friends to send us there ideas and remember nothings to far fetched!

Well, looks like we've got a customer in Chicago that's starting to become a regular so I'll be looking forward to stopping in when this thing gets built.

I've noticed that over here at the hook in brookshire. Last time i was at petro we had the crappy buffet. That really needs to change for sure. Oh we just get some diesel to get us to el paso and a fountain drink that's about it that could not hold up a ts.

I thought of another thing that might have been mentioned. Having equipment for sale at normal prices would be really nice. The truck stops are all overpriced on what little they do have. For example, I need new straps to replace nearly all the old ones on my truck. I'm pretty sure that Pilot's price of $30 each is a little high. It doesn't help that they only have 3 on the shelf at any time either. When I need a bungie strap, I guess $2.49 for one isn't that bad. When I need a whole box of them, there's no way, especially when everybody wants to sell them individually.

One thing that really bothers me at truck stops, especially Flyn' 'J' is when they close off the restrooms to clean them. That is sooooo un-necessary. The cleaning person can clean around the people that are in there easily enough.
