Joplin 44 Petro opens Taco Bell, Pizza Hut Express

I agree with Platinum. All truck stops should have mini gym's in them. Truckers should have the option of EXERCISE. I know that may be a bad word to some of you but I love going to the gym and truck work outs are limited. Instead of Taco Hell, Buttway, or Brick-fe-lay they should have a Health food buffe. Salads, vegies, real meats, and fruit. Why not. Stop selling crap.

 

I loves me some Taco Bell CHICKEN BURRITOS, hell under 5 bucks and full as heck.

 

makes sense that it would only be 30 percent beef. Beef is exspensive, and if we want $1 taco's thats what we are going to get. If they put higher quality stuff inside it would cost a premium for it. A premium most would not buy. IE allot of the people that would go to this place. Becouse in the end they do acualy offer premium things. substitue steak instead of beef. Want to go the healthier route? Have chicken soft taco's with just leatuce and tomateo. These places are not stuffing the grease down our throats, It only goes down if we accept it, there are alternatives out there.

As for the gym in truck stops, Yea thats going to go over the same as the majority of weight benches and tread mills in peoples houses, Coat racks. Its hard enough to get some drivers to flush the toilete, Do you think they would acualy whipe down the equipment after using it? Na, that #### would be so nasty.

 

What makes you think that anyone would use them? Most of these idiots are so lazy that they won't even walk inside to use the restroom and instead just dump it on the parking lot outside their driver side window.

They already have the "option of exercise" it's called walking and they won't even do that!

Because....Nobody would eat it...


As far the Taco Bell meat is concerned, Who cares? First off, I don't think the lawsuit that was filed has any merit and secondly...If that's all you eat, You're gonna die from it anyway regardless of what it is. I eat the stuff every now and then but not more than a couple of times a month.
Seriously folks, We have lots of choices out here but the real issue is the laziness of the people out here and their steadfast refusal to exercise those options.

 

Who's going to monitor these "gyms" because we all know truck drivers can't be left on their own. I can see these buffet busters thinking they can bench press their own weight! They would get two skinny guys on either end of the bar and push until they blew a nut!

As "blackw900" put it, the vast majority of drivers are too lazy to walk across the parking lot so I can't see them useing fitness facilities as they are supposed to be or with any consistent frequency. This has been tried in the past with zero success.
