    My other post was "would you visit this truck stop" and I thank everyone for their responses. Besides the obvious parking, I would like to offer some other services. Because having a full on repair shop offering the whole menu is not something I want to deal with, I want to offer some simpler, but high volume services that I know truckers need done. The list is:
    -oil change
    -alignment
    -A/C freon refill
    -brake change
    -tire purchase and install
    -tractor/trailer wash
    -annual inspections

    Besides those services, what else do you think would be convenient, and as a customer, you would like to have the option to choose from at the facility? Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Not a O/O but what about Road Service. In a reasonable time frame, without price gouging extremes?

    doesn't matter, you are never getting the permits for this truck stop in that area. if it could be done, a major chain would already be there.

    How about enough parking, not 75 spots or 100.
