Also, I can plan my stops on a long trip and KNOW I can get fuel their and not stress trying to finding a good stop with my 38' 5th Wheel.
I never had to wait behind another truck in my 10 stops or so this year at "truck stops".
This is not a pro truck stop rant...just my opinion and observations.
Ditto, Ditto, Ditto, Ditto . . . even on the 38 foot 5th wheel. All except the waiting. I'd say I have to wait for a trucker to clear the lane 10-20% of the time, but it is almost never long as they are almost always courteous and time is money for them. A little longer wait equates to a longer break from driving, which is needed while travelling anyway. Getting in a hurry on the road is a recipe for stress and potentially other bad things.
