    Every interstate has rest areas and welcome centers. I agree with Canned Spam. Why would you want to stop at a truck stop as bad as the motoring public hates truckers? There are several nicer places to stop and sleep. Why would you want to be near people you cannot stand?

    I think about that every time I pass through Schulenberg,TX. They have a Love 's, and across the interstate there s a Buckey s travel plaza that does not allow trucks, but yet motoring public still come over to the Love s and get in the way.

    Don't forget to bring your CB radio so you can ask where the commercial company is!!

    As previously mentioned, PLEASE don't park your car in a truck parking spot. Parking in those places has a tendency to be somewhat limited as it is, and should you be found taking up a truck spot with your Tahoe, well suffice to say you won't be very popular.

    At least you can get a shower in the morning and some breakfast.

    Calm down fella, once your really get out here you will see where he is coming from. Most truck stops and travel centers are trash dumps... He is hinting for you to find elsewhere to sleep n your vehicle
