    Time will show. But the truth is that many of us are arriving at smaller independent truck stops to park without giving them any business except using their toilets. So I propose lets buy some fuel every time we're there for the 8-10 break so they don't close for good. Let's keep "ma and pa" fuel stops alive and let's give them Flying Js truck stops some competition. Yes! Yes!

    Halfway Agree with @Allow Me. I got stuck one morning at a TS in Little Rock because some ####### "made a spot" in front of about 4 trucks and none of us could move. Took an hour to get the prick out of they way.

    Honestly I feel horrible for anyone who works at a truckstop. With the dirty nasty things that work in this industry now. Hats off to your daughter for putting up with it.

    A list of cheap motels that have truck parking would be great. Someone should create an app for that.

    Along with some apps for fresh food availability at the convenience store, another one for available parking at any given truck stop, and my very favorite; "Is the gym full" app.

    I like otr I just hate the way a few act. And I'm not knocking on any company or group. There's bad apples in every bunch. But I do feel for the people that work at the truckstops and have to deal with the ridiculous crap they do day in and day out. Like I said I like otr but hate the way some drivers act.
