    Kwik Trip is by far one of the best truck stop chains that I ve stopped at. Very clean stores and restrooms. Their employees are very friendly too. Most of them have plenty of parking with clean lots, and very well designed. They have very good hot and fresh soups and chilis. The fruit selection is good too.

    Something else would be nice besides the same old Love s and Pilots.

    The locations that offer parking versus the locations that are just for fueling all have showers... $8 generally.

    If you buy fuel at one that doesn't have showers you can take that receipt to the next one that does and they will give you one.

    They also recently started their own points card.

    They're a gem in my home state of WI. Apparently they treat their employees well too because they are always ranked as one of the best places to work in WI.

    They always have nice clean stores in Wisconsin and Minnesota. They have locations in alot of places. But so does loves in these states. So i usualy go to loves for the x4 pts. But kwik trip is always my 2nd choice. Have no idea about the kwik trio pts as i havent heard about it. Might be something to consider

    Kwik Trips up North will run circles around QTs down South. I like both, but Kwik Trip is better than QT
