Electric plug ins would be nice when the weather is cold. Makes them big engines start easier, and when it gets cold enough they won't start at all without being plugged in.

Okay -- since I'm not a trucker, I have to ask: How much would truckers be willing to pay for a night in a bed & breakfast?
It sounds lovely -- a "home", shower, home-cooked food, and sleep -- but I'll be honest here. It would be really tough for me to shell out the cost of a night's stay in a B&B when I have sleeping accommodations immediately behind my driver's seat. But then again, I have inherited my parents' frugal gene.
So I'm curious what the cost would be and what drivers would be willing to pay.

My HomeStead for OTR would be a Treat for the driver who just needs a friggn break.
After your 70 hrs out and 38 out of the truck, this area has everything if you wanted to go to town for something.
It would be like stopping at Aunt B's place, course I ain't no Aunt B, trying to quit cussing and doing a pretty good job.
I would offer a room to sleep in, hot shower , good food , ringer turned off of the phone and the answering machine takes my calls, Quiet time!
A Safe haven, a recliner with a remote to ESPN,Hunting channels ,ect....
It might be a place to stop at for a refresher in life once a month.
Yea and I will do the laundry, weather provided your shorts are lined dried and daisy fresh!!!!
And it sure the he** won't be cheap.
but it would be cost effective and worth the treat for you and me. I like company once in a while.
Besides I don't have any relatives who drive truck so I don't get many visitors.
I do operate a horse farm, and there are 4 cats still alive and living here and a Big ##* Rotti and one Boston Bulldog, who doesn't fart a lot!

$30 to $35.
Gets you a PB&J and a stall in my barn.
no not really.
Depends on how much work it is for me, cuz this is a place of rest and mental DOWN time for the driver (s)
I run a very tight kitchen, got a thing about unwashed hands. I like my kitchen clean and simple and I do like to cook.
Course I am open to a man who likes to cook, my men friends in SD at there horse ranch ,2 brothers, are the two best cooks I have ever eaten with, better than my Mom, course my Mom, serves more green vegi's.
