    How come I never see doubles or triples parked at the truck stop?

    Because Peelot and Loves aren't setup for them. Most have a schedule
    But then you will see them dropping and switching in the trkstps
    You must not be at the right ones lol

    They do hub to hub and don't stop. Some are teams driver, some met up at a point, drop their trailers, switch, and turn around and go back.

    Plus it's hard to back up doubles.

    Most switch at mom/pop stores and truck stops or at rest areas or they just drive w/o stopping

    It's hard to find truck stops with parking for them unless you get in early and find a pull through spot. Usually just find a quiet wide spot or rest area
