    Yep, refuse. Leave the truckstop shelves to the amateurs (travelers). There are workarounds for most everything on the road.

    Pay attention to Walmarts in areas that are truck friendly. Use Google Earth to spy the ease of access. If you’re on a 2-lane and see one you can get in/out of, take the opportunity. Grab your 30, while stocking up, then, get back on the road. Also, most grocery stores have parking around back.

    There are countless plug-in cooler/fridge threads, if you don’t already have one.

    You’re at the mercy of truckstop laundromats, though.

    The times you’re bobtail or on a reset, take advantage and PC to get what services and retailers you need.

    I do when I have extra time or if it makes sense. Most of the time I am trying to save money and time at the same time so it doesn't work out. Last trip worked perfect for it though.

    Petro in Eloy. That was the nicest place in the nation 10 years ago.

    Now it's all dopers.
