2 new best friends for you - The gas buddy app (free), and 'The Next Exit' (hardcover or online). I carry the hardcover version in my cab. This book shows what's located at every exit of every interstate highway in every state. Food, lodging, gas stations, etc. Their website shows an example page. Plan your McDonalds stops for the entire trip.

I might add for smart phone users, try the Interstate Exits Guide app. It is free at the app store and has all the info for each exit. Works for me.
