    I am saying that if you want a salad with low-cal or oil and vinegar dressing you can get it. If you want a sandwich with light mayo you can get it. My daily breakfast consists on cold cereal and dry toast. Not very exciting compared to a "slippery #5" on the menu but better for you. It's all about choices and many make poor choices.

    You neglected/forgot to answer my previous question about tougher driver fitness requirements. I haven't heard of any impending changes so please enlighten me.

    I want to go to a truck stop where they have a person dressed like a State Trooper that I can do bad things to.

    all in one truck stop good parking lot, 1 good truck wash, at least 10+ showers 15 min timers, a full laundry mat, good sitin healthy restaurant, a movie theater and a top notch fuel service system and plenty of pumps all truck activity in back and only cars and trucks in front parking. this is all we need necessity is best in a true truck stop leave the junk for the junk places.clean tows , showers laundry room and restaurant and i will stop in every time through.

    Large WiFi grid inside and out that allows easy quick access from all locations on the property. Make it free. I am MUCH more likely to hit a truckstop with free wifi and a decent restaurant then one that is a chain and maybe closer.

    The ultimate truck stop would have more than enough parking and a Ryan's steak house right across the street.

    1) Good Food
    2) Lots and Lots of Parking (separete space for Swift drivers as they usual take up 2 while trying to back into 1) Joking...but still true! LOL
    3) Shower that are clean AND COST LESS THEN $10 w/o fuel!!!
    4) Free parking
    5) Bobtail parking!!! (SO ANNOYING WHEN THEY TAKE A FULL SPACE and I have to find a ramp or curb!!!)
    6) A Trailer "drop zone"
    7) CB SHOP
    8) Anything but Subway for fastfood
    9) Movie theater (some nice ones are out there but they are few!)
    10) Truck Wash

    I could list a ton of other things but...that should give you a pretty good idea! Good luck with your project! Hopefully I'll get to see your dream come true some day.
