That’s the main part. Most drivers today under 40 could care less about a sit down restaurant. Fast food is their staple. A square meal would probably cause traumatic issues to their digestive system.
Not to mention the fact that they would rather converse on their phones than have a conversation face to face.
Did there used to be more truck stops

Yes of course there were more.
Truck stops that solely existed to service the industry and the drivers.
A "truck stop" today is a very rare thing.bentstrider83 Thanks this. -
Those are what come to mind for your average person. Not me or you. Throw the whaabulince chasers ontop of the mix putting up only JUST legally accurate commercials about how ####ty we are and massive multi million dollar payouts. Then mix that with a lot of O/Os especially from down south whos vehicles are just this side of a junkyard and who i have seen just dump their oil in parking lots or spray diesel everywhere....
Well. ..we have a reputation now because as with 99% of things in life, the handful of idiots ####ed it up for the rest of us.Gearjammin' Penguin and snowlauncher Thank this. -
Trucks have changed tremendously, too, with AC, APU’s, fridges, cooking apparatus, wi-fi etc. Drivers don’t NEED truck stop services like diners. They are far more self contained.
