    Take a slingshot and some marbles so you'll have something to do during downtime.

    Truck stops have laundry rooms. To save a buck or 2, I always washed and then air dryed in the sleeper. Instead of paying $$$ to dry.

    Some valium , lots of blood pressure meds, a grill , a blow up doll w repair kit , gloves , a big honking flashlight ( two handed are the best ) , flip flops , water ( lots of ) , and of course the most important , common sense. Can be optional . Don't worry about voting you'll be working .

    Correction...
    Some Love's have laundry rooms. But the majority do not.
    Most of the newer ones do, so they are getting better in that regard.
