I could care less about ruffling feathers. I don't think I have ever seen one concerned look either. I use the truck stops because a 40 footer and a toad are hard to get around.

Using the Rand McNally GPS is a fantastic tool for finding fuel along your route or near someplace you are interested in. Just touch a couple of buttons and you can easily find truck stops along the way and what features they have. Some have no place to park other than fueling so I try to avoid those.
