Best Truck Stops in USA

Everyone needs to take a break during a long trip on the road. Truck stops and rest areas offer the truck drivers a chance to relax, recharge, and even have some fun. But what do we like about truck stops?

Well, the gas prices are lower, retail stores are also special and there is always some sort of entertainment.

But, the real thing is the feeling that you are not alone on the road.

Nevertheless, much needed shower and bed usually comes in affordable prices for truck drivers.

Here’s where you can have the best time:
