    Mo has them, but they got those jacked up sinks that are holes in the wall that dispense water, then soap, then air to dry your hands...:biggrin_25516:

    You don't like those? I thought they were kinda cool!

    I prefer rest areas over truck stops any day.

    one night I stopped at the east boud rest area on I 40 just west of west memphis. Had a knock on the door about 11pm. it was a cop. He was transporting a prisioner, stopped to let him use the bathroom and he escaped. Didn't sleep real good that night

    I do use rest areas alot though. haven't had too many problems but i'm scarier then most the criminals

    I enjoy rest stops for sleeping. Some of them have grassy areas and areas to walk around. I hate getting in and out of truck stops. People are impatient and drive crazy...and Im always afraid someone will hit my truck. Ive seen too many accidents at truck stops.. I only stop for fuel or shower and wash truck.
