    If it was profitable to cater to just truckers , it wouldve been done already. Loves is the most successful truck stop and they cater to 4 wheelers than they do truckers. Nobody cares about truckers and there certainly isnt any money in catering to them

    Yes i would. But there is far more 4 wheelers on the road than truckers, so any business dedicated towards providing to truckers only would be taking a huge financial hit
     
    TheLoadOut Thanks this.

    I mostly just wish truck stops would offer healthy food and more selections of real food. Rather than nothing but fast food crap.

    Easiest way to solve this problem is simply call the store and ask. The employee will tell you whether it’s ok or now and they even ask a manager if they’re unsure. I’ve never been booted or fined or shooed off after getting permission

    I would not be surprised if the TA and Petro do not reopen their sit down restaurants and blame it on covid.

    *sees TallJoe's new parking lot design with the big steel beams preventing entrance to the lot*
    *hits satellite view on google maps to see where the trucks enter to make deliveries*
    *drives in and parks behind the store or loops around and parks in the front lot leaving TallJoe to wonder how I got passed the big steel beam*

    :p

    He wasn't afraid to fly. He had a pilots license and flew his own plane to visit his stores.
