Not sure whether this belongs here, or whether it's an obvious question/answer.

Are the Eisenhower Interstate Rest Areas mostly open with bathroom access and vending and other amenities?
If you travel the freeways regularly, what has been your recent experience? ,
I'll assume the parking is open for truckers and other general commercial travelers for safety reasons (break time, sleep, etc.).

Are most scales and inspection stations open or closed?
Mike. Comments are anecdotal or personal opinions, and worth what you paid for them.

Typically we would start in Michigan and head south or west, and I have a rest areas status page (MiDrive) bookmarked. If there's any doubt I can check that before departure. I was curious about the many other highways and biways, and what folks were actually seeing out there. We aren't heading out any time soon it appears.:?:(
Thanks for the input. It's all good.:)

Just had a look at MIDrive and the welcome centers are closed UFN.

UT I-15 rest areas are open including rest rooms. Flying J and Shell station restrooms open.

Phillips 66 C-store, Springville, UT, restrooms closed.

Ports of Entry open.

Plenty of hand wipes in the truck. โ€œSocial Distancingโ€ observed. More traffic than expected.


Good answer, thanks. Especially the social distancing part.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be
