    No trucks allowed. Every 4 wheeler in the world stops here, including me when traveling.
    Largest cleanest bathrooms for the family. Good bbq sandwiches and jerky. Lots of other stuff too. At least these stores will keep some of the 4 wheelers out of the “truck stops” we have nowadays.

    I never been, and won't only for the simple fact I can't support any business that hates trucks. Just my own belief. I'm sure it's a nice store though , I hear that from a lot of people

    I can respect your position. I am thinking they treat their ground space like shelf space. The faster the turnover, the more money they make. A 4 wheeler will stop and fuel up, park and go inside for 20-30 mins, spend more money and be gone. Most will not leave trash or urine bottles in the parking lot.

    Many trucks would stop, block the fuel island, park for 10 hours or more, and spend very little in the store. Trucks also are heavier and the wear and tear on the parking lots would be greatly accelerated.

    I don’t think it is they don’t want to support trucks, I think their current business model allows them to make more money at less overhead cost.

    Happy Father’s Day to all the dads on TTR. Whether your relationship is good or bad with your children, remember at some point they did bring smiles and joy to your life. If you have a bad relationship then hopefully it can be repaired,

    Wife is in Tennessee with her Dad this weekend, my daughter took me to Cracker Barrel for breakfast this morning for Father’s Day.

    When they brought out my Momma’s pancake breakfast I thought I may have to call @stwik for support…. They put butter on the flapjacks before it came out…..:rolleyes::)

    Would have been a better move to build those back in the ‘80’s instead of turning truck stops into travel centers. Now the truck stops are all gone they build the ####ing tourists their own.
