Truck Stop Food - When Options for Truck Drivers Are Few

I have mixed emotions about truck stop prices. I like to complain about them but maybe that isn't fair. Afterall the parking is free. It costs alot of money to prep and pave 10 acres. Especially in such a fashion to accommodate heavy trucks. The money has to come from somewhere. So I would guess that my complaining is unfair since I don't know what a truckstop nets. In the meantime, I will continue to complain cause it's in my job description. But, I promise not to take it out on the clerks in the store.

 

I agree with what you say. I have to watch my pennies real close as i am finally going to retire in 3 to 6yrs. And it's going to come alot faster than slower.

 

I forgot to add that i like your saying at the bottom of you posts. It's my heart felt belief's also,if you know what i mean.

 

I've found the windshield defrost vents on most Macks to be excellent soup warmers. A pop-top can of Campbell's, on a cold night.... mmmmm.

 

I usually eat groceries purchased from Wal-Mart or Brookshires.

But every now and then I like to eat something cooked. Wit Denny's in Flying Js now, I have noticed that they have SOME healthy options.

They serve whole foods like wheat bread and wheat pancakes. They also have turkey bacon. Some other things as well, but it does help to have some tasty choices.

 

kd5icdr where I live it cost about $10 for a single person and that's at a cheap restraunt. We have restraunts here in the Coachella Valley that charge $20 or more per person to eat at. So I'm not complaining about the price. My biggest complaint about T/S restraunt are lack of selection.

 

And this is one reason why RESTAURANTS/TRUCK STOPS have changed to FAST FOOD/TRAVEL PLAZAS

Remember years ago most nights you had to wait for a table in a true truck stop, of course there was no such thing as private showers then either.

 

The oil cooler on the engine works muck better.
