| OMG - is it best to stop at truck stops during the day to sleep or go there at night to sleep and drive all day? I don't want any altercations with lot lizards, vagrants or anyone except other truckers. I'm a new OTR trucker and as green as they get. |

| That is a nice place. As is the Petro in Rochelle, IL. The Road Ranger there isn't bad either. Last edited by Bigstretch; 09.15.2008 at 04.30 AM. |

The one I was just north of the 20/65 split was bad when it got dark. Was fine during the day (talked with a lot of nice folks, (and one driver was able to get get ahold of a great wrench and a garden hose so I could keep the cattle cool on a 100* day) , but as soon as it got dark, the lizards, pimps, drug dealers and the like started showing up. I couldn't wait to get the heck out of there. As soon as I paid the wrench, I jumped in the truck and was grabbing gears hard to leave. Takes a LOT to even make me nervous, and I was REAL jumpy. I'm a big, tall white guy, usually dressed like Jed Clampett and had a black guy ask me if I wanted any gold chains. LOL I politely said "no" and he said "ok". Worked for me. --------------- The Iowa80 truckstop is a pretty good place. In there a LOT. Do hear of propositioning on the radio on occasion, but doesn't happen often. The cops listen in, and they take action if they get enough details to locate the vehicle in question. GREAT food and all the chrome, SS and lights you could ever look at. --------------- The Homestead t/s In Woodhull, IL is a nice place. Great food and a decent sized (partially gravel) lot. ---------------- The Road Ranger in Princeton, IL is OK, BUT the restrooms are DISGUSTING. I'm a bullhauler, and even I wanted to throw up when I opened a stall door once. Someone had thrown used t/p all over and rubbed poop on the walls with their hands. Even in general, the restrooms are dirty to filthy. Worst in the middle of the night. Last edited by Bigstretch; 09.15.2008 at 04.33 AM. |
