    Joplin? You mean Iowa 80, right? I'm in Joplin at the FJ right now.

    What a day. Broken truck, bad weather, and they give me a ProStar loaner. But I have seen four, count 'em, FOUR, JCT trucks today, a record number of sightings, including the one I'm parked next to at the pilot in South Bend. L2952. With a deerslayer bumper guard. And frogs on the dash.

    Some people just know how to run.
     
    Sharpp Thanks this.

    They laugh at themselves, too, even as they honor the memories of others. They know where they live.

    Wow, I didn't even know that Petro was that big. It looks exactly like Iowa 80. I'll remember that next time I get up this way.

    Tim said yes, but I was just typing what I saw on the sign out front and that's what it said. We left already, on our way to the yard. I love that place. Best truck stop ever. ;)

    No sweetie you are at the I-80 It is a cool place, I just can't figure out how these guys get their truck in there and then what do they do? Because they are in there for 6 months to a year before they are replaced! Does I-80 pay for a rental? WOW! That is cool. I hope you are enjoying your travels, This is like a kid in a candy store for you!.

    I get in there every now and again and I price out some chrome and Chicken Lights for the truck I don't have! I have a good time and then come back to reality as I jump back in the company truck I'm driving!! That I wouldn't put any do dads on AT ALL!

    I mean I-80! I have never been in the one in Joplin? Is it the same as I-80?
