    Maybe they use the toilet with the door closed...cuz you're looking? :rolleyes: Can't see how walking out to the back 40 is easier or quicker. Drivers don't seem to be able to make the same walk towards the urinals...lol

    So what you all are saying here is...if a clean looking, non-working girl (ie, NOT a Lot Lizard type) was to bake a huge batch of homemade cookies and show up at a truckstop, they would be a welcome gift?
    What else could a group of folks have homemade for yall that would be enjoyed? Much as it would be great to deliver a decent full meal, not sure it is practical and maybe sweets, homemade or not, arent the best choice to show appreciation. Any suggestions?
    I couldnt imagine having to eat out of a gas station or fast food all the time

    The food may well be a welcome gift to the drivers but I bet most truck stops would kick her out. Truck stop operators don't like to see truckers get anything for free.

    Truly ashame....when my X drove and he told me showers cost money at truck stops, at first, I didnt believe him. That in itself is just plain shameful.
    yall really should be treated better.

    Lack of decent food. It seems like every single truck stop has a Subway. Some variety would be nice

    I wouldn't trust some random person giving away food. I usually spend Christmas out on the road and as luck would have it I've been at the same TS 3 times. There was some Mormon family that would come by early in the AM leave cookies, candy, and some literature on my step. I appreciate the gesture, not so much the religious literature, but I could never eat it.

    Just a note saying thanks would be great!

    Do you live near a TS? 6-8 miles or so? One thing the male drivers like is to hear a female voice on the CB radio. ;) Lol, some people don't know what to to do and put their foot in their mouth, and some are just plain inbred and lewd. You can probably imagine. But if you are a chatty person, it might be interesting.

    My food anymore I must know every ingredient that is used, even down to what kind of oil is used. I do not trust supermarkets anymore because they are selling tainted food for me. even the produce must go and wash the heck out of it. Then with the world nowadays are you going to trust that somehow you do not have the sweetest angel that you ever seen not put a banned substance in the food just because some driver (not you) pissed her off?
