Unlimited free land and they can't even build a parking lot. No way I'd let truck drivers park on my land. Have you seen a truck stop lately. Disgusting creatures some of these animals. I blame the government, there's no logical reason not to have truck haven parking all over the place. No reason other than corruption. I tried to park in Georgia one time after I already ran 11 hours, right when I first started, and didn't know anything, that was a mistake. Let's just say I used a little PC that night.

I think I'll stay put for now but I might go talk with selectrucks. They seem to have reasonable prices and are all setup for first time owner ops. At least from what I've seen online. I'm not exactly itching to jump in, but if rates keep going up thru the whole summer it's going to be tempting.77fib77 Thanks this.

Trucking is a tough business, I got a lot of respect for the guys that have figured it out and are making it work.hope not dumb twucker and 77fib77 Thank this.

Where is this unlimited free land you speak of? Because where I live it’s about $9k an acre for ground, the 5 to 10 acre hobby farm parcels are over double that price.Bud A., OldeSkool, Mega Express and 2 others Thank this.

$9k an acre is practically free.OldeSkool, Mega Express, Numb and 1 other person Thank this.

Yeah hobby farm sounds nice, I want one. Gotta watch out for the ticks tho. I don't want to become allergic to meat I'm not sure what you mean? The government gives themselves essentially unlimited free money and takes whatever they want anyway. All that is needed is parking. They don't have to build full truck stops. They don't even need full rest areas. Just truck haven parking. It's insane there's not easy parking everywhere. I blame the Democrats, but only because it's definitely all their fault.77fib77 Thanks this.

That's almost them paying you to take it.Moosetek13 Thanks this.

Up by me you're looking at $20,000 a quarter acre. At least for land close to anyplace trucks want/need to go.Mega Express and 77fib77 Thank this.

I don't know about anyone else but I never spent very much money at truck stops.
Well, I have seen drivers pile up on the snacks from time to time. Walk out with 50 bucks worth of stuff they could have gotten for 20 at Walmart.
I really don't see the incentive to spend a million to build a new truck stop when you have so many low life clientele that are not spending that much, spreading around the trash and piss and expecting great service. I really don't know how they turn much profit.Mega Express, D.Tibbitt and TurkeyCreekJackJohnson Thank this.
