    I love sleeping in my truck. It's my haven. Sometimes after a long day I can't wait to get back to it and lay down with a good book or Netflix. I especially love it when there is a storm and the wind is howling. It's kind of soothing.

    Yep my truck has my mattress, my pillows, fridge with my food, my TV with my channels - Netflix, HBO, Hulu, sling TV w/ ESPN, 1,2,3, Fox sports and Vudu where I've uploaded 200 of my DVDs and my wifi.

    Go to a house with who knows what kind of mattress, what's on TV, not my food, have to lug my PC and hope they have wifi ... All just so I don't have to walk to a shower ... Plus pay for the privilege

    Restaurant food is the problem. Price and quality. Give me the latter and I’ll pay.

    But Denny’s, etc, are more concerned with profit. Usually can’t finish the meal. It’s that poor.

    The truck is sufficient for sleeping.

    But someone to control the fuel line jams and the late arrivals creative parking would be appreciated. 90-day and lifetime bans. Posted on billboard.

    I’ve got an unusual idea for you. Open a Dollar store in or alongside your truck stop. Use a yellow sign so it looks like dollar general, but just call it dollar store.

    Sell everything DG sells at DG prices. Truckers and locals will flood the place to buy stuff at good prices.

    A truck stop candy bar costs $2, but the same candy is sold at DG for .88 cents. The truck stops exploit truckers

    A great idea to a truckstop is a place where there are no potholes, no paid parking, shuttle to the door, free showers, and workers don't give us crap about anything!
