I carry my own brush.

Another thought to add here; don't make our shower credits expire after 2 days. Personally, I don't think they should expire at all, but at least allow a couple weeks.

How about a truck stop barbershop that doesnt make your hair look like you were attacked by Abdullah the Butcher or getting ready to report to bootcamp.

I don't think anyone has mentioned a magazine rack!

Why don't the TS's sell magazines? I mean every now and then I like
to read or just look at the babes in em.

I just started OTR and when i was with my trainer that aggravated the hell out of me..... i am in line with a bag of chips and i have to stand in line for 10 mins while the attendant figures out whats wrong with another drivers fuel card.I dont even want to buy anything in a truckstop anymore cuz it takes way too long..........every one is trying to cut back but no one seems to care about customer service anymore...

Plenty of parking. I prefer paved because dirt and gravel lots do get dusty and it gets in my truck..YUCK!

Plenty of lighting in the lot. I am a female driver and if the lot is NOT well lit I will leave.

I would like to have paper towels in the CLEAN restroom. After fueling an air dryer just doesn't cut it.

Free Wifi would be nice.

Showers that are clean and well stocked.

I appreciate that you seem to want to give drivers some of what they ask for.
