    I like Sapp Bros. truck stops, but I just wanted to give a (belated) heads up that the location in Council Bluffs, IA has road work ongoing just outside as well as a renovation within the truck stop that has water turned off during daytime hours. Porta potties lined up outside are the only bathroom facilities right now. No working laundry room or showers.

    Belated as it was about 5 days ago that I was there. Maybe someone has an update.

    The water was shut off just for that day. they had to move the watermain. the restaurant will be closed most of the summer cause they have to move it.
    the street will be 5 lanes when the project is completed.

    I imagine the PEElot across the street is impacted by the road work as well...

    The coffee in Denver never had that problem, but yeah... I did cross the street more than once to indulge in the coffee at the competition's location rather than deal with that colored peewater.

    And hopefully there will be a light at the exit from the Peelot, but somehow I doubt it, we're just truck drivers, we don't matter enough for that.

    I like Sapp Bros more than most truck stops. Not usually crowded, free wifi, and they have those chuckwagon sammiches in the fridge. Low key is good in this case.
