What are some must see destinations while driving?

Are you a tourist or a trucker? Because if you're a trucker, you'll find out pretty d@mn quick that it ain't a vacation. "Places to see" rarely offer truck parking.

 

I second the Iowa 80 suggestion. It's just big, and it has lots of different fast-food and a sit-down restaurant and plenty of parking. Remember, your paid vacation comes to a stop if you damage anything. DO NOT bring a free-wheeling attitude to moving a truck. It barely fits in the lane and companies don't like paying for your mistakes. Don't forget about the random drug tests.

 

My favorite is the I-70 over the Rockies from Denver into Utah.. then continue through the Utah canyonlands on I-70. You will be speechless.

 

Moab will leave ya speechless.

 

Must see destinations:
1. The Shipper
2. The Consignee

 

The catskill mountains / catskill reservoir was one of my favorites to cruise through headed to chobani. Technical skill driving but very easy, and incredible views during autumn.

The only time it sucked was winter, since it is a very secluded area.

 

I got to go drive across the Hoover Dam back before Sept 11, 2001 when they made it illegal for trucks. That was awesome. Now you can't even see the dam on the new bypass.

 

In Johnson's Creek? I wandered in there once fixing to stay the night and ended up at the Kwik Trip across the street. Dropped trailers everywhere. Idiots living in their RV's in truck spots. That annoyed me enough to leave. Not as bad as the Loves down in Zion, IL. where half the parking lot is always hogged by scallywags that've ditched their truck and gone home.

 

the diner alone is worth stopping for. Never have had a problem finding parking or any knocks on the door.
