Don’t Miss These Awesome Truck Stops on Your Next Trip

Hey fellow drivers, I just read this article about the best truck stops hidden gems and I gotta say, it’s pretty spot on. I’ve been to a few of these places and they’re worth checking out if you’re ever in the area. Here are some of my favorites:

• The Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, TX. This place is famous for its 72-ounce steak challenge. If you can eat it all in one hour, it’s free. I tried it once and failed miserably, but it was still a good steak. They also have a motel, a gift shop, and a shooting gallery. It’s like a mini Wally World for truckers.
• Jubitz Travel Center in Portland, OR. This place has everything you need to relax and recharge. They have a movie theater, a lounge with live music, a barber shop, a laundry room, and even a dog wash. They also have some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. It’s called hundred mile coffee and it’ll keep you awake for days.
• Iowa 80 Truckstop in Walcott, IA. This is the world’s largest truck stop and it’s like a trucker’s paradise. They have a museum, a library, a dentist, a chiropractor, and a truck wash. They also have a huge store with all kinds of trucker gear and accessories. You can find anything from CB radios to alligator boots.

There are more places on the list that I haven’t been to yet, but I’m planning to visit them soon. If you have any other recommendations for hidden gems, let me know. I’m always looking for new places to explore on the road.
