Anyway to search places along routes..

I consider myself fairly good at trip planing, but I’m looking for a way to SOMETIMES, incorporate fun stops into my route. All the trucker GPS and apps are centered around truck stops etc. I’m looking to reverse this priority order. I want to search for things along my planned route and then see if I can find a place to park nearby.

Example. I’m driving from Greenville, SC to Dallas Texas. I’d like to punch in, “steak houses, strip clubs , grocery stores, whatever it might be…and have it show these along my route. From there plan a stop accordingly. Will it siesta work? Of course not, but sometimes the stars align.

Is there a way to do this on any GPS programs, apps etc? I know google will, but only at specific locations, not along your whole route.

 

Don’t agree. I can trip plan, I always find parking. I also use an folding Ebike 25mph with a 40 mile range which really opens up the possibilities significantly.

You response implies that I’d be cramming my truck into any unwelcome fitting location. I’m not that “trucker” lol if I ain’t certain parking is good, I go to the next place. My plan would entail lots of planning and research. Just wanna try and incorporate a fun stop more often, like maybe once a week, not daily or anything.

 

You drivers crack me up. Blah blah blah with this suck it up buttercup mentality. I outdrive everyone of you with that mentality. And a hike 5 to 7 miles after my shift every single day and lift weights. Why all of you sitting in your truck eat three oversized pizzas drink a gallon of soda, smoke a pack of cigarettes and ##### about everybody else. Sorry buddy but it’s true. I see it every freaking day out here. I’m the only one out exercising while y’all sit there and work on your diabetes cancer and heart disease.. tired of it!

What part of maybe once a week didn’t you understand? What part of When things come together. Truck driving is a lifestyle. OTR specifically. We’re on the truck 26 days out of the month on average. Those of us who like to work are actually. If I want to incorporate doing something a few times a week, how do you imply I’m not out working? Last I checked we’re only allowed to drive 11 hours per day. There’s 24 of them in a day.
