Bowflex machines would be a great idea,with a use at your own risk policy,,,,as to the bar,,,some moron would get drunk and drive his truck,you can bet the farm on that.

Yeah, we get enough of that already. Much as I hate to say it, it could serve non alcoholic drinks. Just a place with the same kind of atmosphere to kick back in.

I fully endorse this idea and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Think about it. They'd have to keep the whole lot smooth for the skaters not to get hurt. I almost lost a whole wheel coming out of a pilot the other day. That thing was deep!

Very expensive but how about scales right on the fuel island. You could get fuel and weight at one stop...plus you would have your after fuel weight.

More stools and urnials. And then have someone on duty whose primary job is to keep the restroom clean. If you want to study this method, you can go to the Pennsylvania or New Jersey turnpike service areas. They usually have about 15-20 stalls, urinals, and a worker who is constantly coming through and keeping it clean.

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.
How about Secruity Escourting the unattatached female driver to and from her truck.
