    I like the Iowa 80 due to all the services they offer. Pretty nice to be able to take care of a few things in one spot when your a long way from home!

    It's pretty far out in left field but Jubitz T/S http://www.jubitz.com/ is my fave !!! I Only partied there a couple few times.
    Allot of the Texaco and 76 stops were really super in their day, the Stoney Ridge T/S's and Truck World , Sapp Bros ,Shoemakers, and Burns Bros were also great stops. The I80 was always remodeling.
    That was a big influence on me as a kid to make the road a career.
    The King of the road day's of sorts, The 76's had new brown shag carpet on the walls and all sorts of cool stuff !

    Another vote here for Iowa 80. Also Dysart's at mm 180 I95 in Maine gets the nod for great food, even if it is a little pricey. The 'must miss" list: Flying J Laredo TX, TA Lake Station IN, Pilot Scranton PA.

    In idaho on I 84 exit 181, the Oasis truck stop, the drivers lounge is downstairs, it has great showers with tubs, it has 2 tv rooms, one for smokers and one for non smokers, as well as a game room and a weight room to work out. They have many items you need upstairs as well as a resteraunt, If you ever get by there stop and take a look, its about 9 miles east of the flying j at the twin falls exit.

    Little America, Wyoming. The building is done up like the inside of a hotel. It's very nice.

    If I had a second vote, it would be for the Jubitz Travel Center in downtown Portland.

    The Iowa 80 group of truck stops are pretty nice - I particularly like the Joplin Petro, which has plenty of parking spots within walking distance of a Pilot where I can go shower.

    Walcott, Iowa.
    Interstate 80 and Exit 284
