    I came back in to driving after a 16 years of a laps in it, and drove this spring an summer and the company ripped me off,i am back running my heating an air company again.and kinda lost my taste for it again but still love trucks an driving them
    I have an oppertuity,to open a restaraunt right by the parking lot of a busy truck stop in mn.
    My friend has a currant pizza joint,but wants to put one in there.
    I told him we need burgers and breakfast 24/7 too, and some good ol fashion home cooked food, and truly home cooked.when i was driving i was so sick of the run the mill places an the truck stop junk, mc d's and subway an that toilet Dennys,they got me once but not twice.
    so if anyone has some ideas as what they want, and would like to see,and other stuff, i would like to hear.last thing i would want is drivers saying thats a #### hole don't eat there on the Cb.
    I was thinking a discount for CDL driver, and a free thermos of coffee on your way out,and some pretty cheap hearty an wholesome breakfast. i would get most the meat from a local butcher who is state certified to sell to eating joints . And the beef an pork ,i know where it comes from an who the growers are.
    I was thinking not JUST your run of the mill plain ol burger but have fresh ground beef on site and add other stuff in to them to make them unique.peanut butter, soy sauce,peppers,cheese ect. you get the idea.
    one day of the week have authentic mexican food ,have a mexican chef come in to cook.
    we would have home cooked beef roast and pork roast,rib eyes and t-bone a sirloin.
    I am asking in here,since i kinda have an idea what i wanted when i was out there, but there are a few more people on here that been out there for life,and would have awesome feed back. thanks guys an gals have a safe one

    After reading the prior responses I understand why I see so many 300+ pound drivers.

    How about brown rice, steamed fresh veggies, quality grilled chicken, a fresh fruit plate?
