Things I'd like or like to see, offered at truckstops

I really like alot of those things. that would make a perfect truck stop.

 

a DENTIST!! LOL someone to keep people from parking in no parking zones thus blocking several marked spots from access

 

That big TA on I80 in Iowa has a dentist. And he's cheap too. I just started getting all my dental work thru him. My insurance accepts it, I have to file it myself, but he pulled a tooth that was hurting so bad if he needed a kidney, or a liver i'd give it to him.

 

Until more places catch on with the whole dentist thing call 1-800-dentist. I used this a while back in Phoenix and with in 3 hours of calling I had a tooth pulled by a dentist that took my insurance. They go by zip code to give you the closest help. They don't charge you a dime and they call the dentist they want to set you up with while you are on the phone and set things up via a 3 party call.

 

First off I would like them to do away with the whole .06+ per gallon if you pay with a CC.

The Easy Stuff:

Clean Bathrooms: dont know how many I have walked into and almost slipped a fell from all the water, grease, and pi$$ on the floors.

Food: Something other than greasy three day old cheese burgers, and nasty crusty buffets.

Stores: A well stocked general store, im not talking walmart here just some clothes and food other than junk food. Also have a better selection of hygene products.

The Harder stuff

Install Idle Aire systems in the truck stops

Parking: So many stops out there that have really bad lots (pot holes, nails, screws, ect) I know its hard to keep them clean but its got to be done I guess

There is probably more but this is all I can think of right now.

 

Parking....Parking...Parking..

Clean rest rooms would be nice for a change.

Oh and did I mention...Parking?

 

More Parking!!!!!! How can you get Truckers in the store to buy the mercandise on the shelves when they can't find a place to park ? I'd like to see a designated and enforceable " 30 minutes or less parking area". Even if it is only for daylight hours, for those of us that just want to run in and grab a few groceries or a few truck supplies. It would help eliminate having to back everyone up at the fuel island for drivers doing a "gas and go". It would also save time for those that circle the parking lot for 20 minutes looking for a place to park just so they can run in and use the restroom.

 

when i was out there i think a small grocery store would have been one of the most helpful things for me.

 

That is one thing i hate. You pull in a truckstop and trucks are parked all along the curb at the entrance and exits, while there are a lot of spaces open. Thats just lazy and inconsiderate.

 

I just thought there were alot of trucks operated by people who were known as no parking.
