    There are a lot more than just one of the things offered that I would like to have voted on. But one is all the poll allows.

    I think it let me vote with my entire list. I had maybe ten items checked. :smt041

    Seems like parking, personal restrooms, and truck washing are the hot items. :thumbup:

    what's the difference, they'd charge you so much it wouldn't be worth it.
    But a gym would be great.

    there used to be driver only lounges but they got trashed up so bad most places either don't have them or have them in such bad repair that you don't want to be there.

    I remember a day when there use to be signs that read "professional drivers only" ya, you don't see that anymore. And it's understandable with the trashy people out there who can't refran from writing ignorant comments all over everything and just generally destroying everything

    one of the busiest truckstops in NJ, is Pilot in Bloomsbury NJ, and they have room for 15-20 trucks....


    I was forced to park in the TA even though I was forced to FUEL at the Pilot....

    When you do $500,000 in fuel a day, you should have enough parking....

    Keeping physically fit would be fun while I was over the road with my hubby. It gets numbing just sitting on the passenger seat 24/7.
