Truck Stops/Travel Centers
 
What chain is your favorite?

I took my wife into a Iron Skillet one time. She never realized how lack of hygiene the drivers were. I told her it’s basically camping except your tent is a semi and you have to drive it long distances.

Neat story on Stuckey's.

They were once everywhere and then suffered some poor ownership. Hopefully, the revival takes place.

Anyone make Buc-ees their goto stop when traveling through Texas?

Whichever one has refrigerator magnets and Pibb/Pepper. Clean bathrooms are nice, too.

I knew I forgot a chain.

Can the mods edit the poll to add Buc-ees?

I've never visited a "truck stop" or "travel center."

They’re all over the south now. They’re awesome. Doesn’t Iowa have the world’s largest truck stop?

I loved stopping at Stuckey's when I was a kid and we were travelling around! Personally, it was their peanut brittle that I liked from there. But it was just a cool place in those days just wandering around looking at all the touristy crap.

Glad to hear that they are trying to make a comeback and that it is still in the family.
